i had to edit the new version, but i am very very happy with this theme. it's my favorite.

jawsh: how are you liking OS X?

i've always enjoyed Mac OS, and OS X is no different. i did that 10.2.8 update and my Mac's still chuggin right along, so i guess i was one of the fortunate ones not affected by it. i still remember having to boot off a 5 1/4" floppy back in the II GS days, up through my door-stop of a PowerBook 140 running System 7...Apple's come a long, long way! :)

OT....How is the quality on MyTV2Go? I've been looking for a tv solution on the Macintosh, but haven't been satisfied by the quality out there.

Since this is my first TV on a puter application I'd say its flawless. The image is crisp but degreades at higher resolutions although I haven't played with the settings at all. Records as well. Should I be able to get it at full screen?

When I had a TV card, the best that I could get at a 'crisp' picture was 800x600 px. I am pretty sure that is about the highest it goes because you are taking an analog signal and watching it on a digital machine. Even if you have digital cable or satelite, the signal will still probably be bad because they compress it so that things are faster on your end. I believe the only way to get full screen TV with a computer that is purely crisp is if the signal itself is that good and maybe if there is some kind of HDTV coming through or something. I know I see a lot of shows lately that advertise they are being broadcase in HDTV, so you might try one of those.

Good info guys. I've never owned a tv tuner for the Macintosh, just for pc....and it was about 5 years ago.

They make hdtv tuners for Macs?!?

Some of the 42" and 60" plasma tvs i've been looking at have DVI input and support full HDTV resolution for use as a computer display (~1900x1000). DVI is a digital signal and the plasma tvs are digital display units so it should look really good.

SVideo, and composite video out both look dreadful for a number of reasons: the biggest contributor being the rather crumby resolution of most TVs with those inputs. My 50" projection tv only has ~800 lines of resolution and that's considered good!

Buying a new TV just so video out looks good might not be an option now, but when you go to buy a new monitor or new television then looking at some of the LCD and plasma telivisions might pay off.

Image compression is now integrated into the assembly/export workflow, backed by new optimizer infrastructure, UI controls, feedback fixes, and tests. This should make PageMaster much more useful for producing smaller output PDFs directly from assembled or reorganized documents. The release also contains a large PageMaster refresh with improved drag and drop, recent files, crop pages, save/restore functionality, rotation and size indicators, a reworked icon set, and faster output preview rendering. Viewer and Editor workflows were improved with wildcard Advanced Find, Enter-to-search behavior, better outline keyboard selection, startup settings, fullscreen support, side-to-side scrolling, smoother scrolling, text selection, snapping, and expanded annotation controls. Compatibility and platform behavior were improved as well, including fixes for embedded files, fonts, checkboxes, invisible text, menu colors, highlights, XMP metadata, Windows color management, AppImage packaging, MSIX generation, installer behavior, translations, and newer compiler/Qt warnings. The commit history also includes a new scan-and-edit plugin foundation and color management performance work.

    • Same here or that Opera Max was not a thing anymore. Nothing lost... Who the hell would be considering Opera or Samsung when needing a VPN? LOL
    • If you go to the game developer website you can see that indeed Cyril Paciullo is the game director and developer https://www.pluralys.ca/about-us/ and when clicking on his name it lists Messenger Plus! as part of his CV. In case you wondered what happened to Patchou
    • A difficult position to be in. Either they cater to us users or they cater to news curators to potentially increase traffic. Personally, I wasn't being sarcastic. Hosting a website isn't free, so without traffic this site stops existing, and if you want traffic you have to play the game. I legitimately thought the title was good. Not because I like it, but because it's the kind of title people will click on. This site needs that.
