Buffy ,'The Killer In Me'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Okay, tech heads. I have been generously gifted with a beige Power Mac G3, running OSX (amych, the USB hub is still needed).
Now, I downloaded Firefox, and what I got was a disk image. To install it properly on my hard drive, I just drag the program over from the mounted disk image and drop it into my applications folder, yes?

Yes.
I feel all special that I can now engage in all the Mac talk.
I belong....
It's weird, but I didn't really like Macs until a few years ago - I just wasn't impressed by the OS. But once OS X had been around a bit and was stable, I was like, "Unix operating system with a better GUI than Linux, plus beautiful hardware - cool!"
Is there a setting on Macs to sharpen screen fonts, for use with an LCD screen, much like mine? (I'd found and implemented the same setting on my PC)
Yes.
Um... let me try to find it....
eta: Go to System Preferences / Appearance. At the bottom there's a thing on "font smoothing."
Thank you, tommyrot
Oh, my poor head.
There's something in this CSS that means that IE browsers (at least IE 6) aren't showing the image here. Firefox and Opera have no problem viewing the little boy.
I'm blanking on this.
Help!
Oh, is that what happens when I can't see pictures in LJ entries? Huh.
I'm not sure. And it's not just the pic, but also the caption, I just noticed.
Okay, that might help the debugging...
