Oh, and is there a way to create iso files in OS X that does't involve the command line? [link]
Toast can do it, right? I should install that on my MacBook.
Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Applications -> Utilites -> Disk Utility
[edit: Also in Finder: New -> New Burn Folder]

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
What was the graphical file manager thingie that came with DOS 5.0 called?
I can see it in my head, but I rarely used it. I was an early convert to XTree. Even now (as in, like, yesterday) I still occasionally use a Win32 replacement for it called ZTree.
Oh, and does anyone remember the Leading Edge Word Processor?
Heh. I still have the copy that came with my Leading Edge clone.

Huh. I was looking at that. I see how to make a dmg file and a cdr file, but....
And yeah, I've used disk utility in the past to make an iso (on earlier versions of OS X).
eta:
To create an ISO image in OS X, use Disk Utility to burn a new image choosing “CD/DVD Master” as the Image Format. That creates an image with the cdr extension. Just rename the cdr file extension to iso and there you have it!
Oh. That's intuitive.

I've never used a dual processor system before. Cool - I can have one app taking 100% of the cpu, and yet everything else is not noticeably slower.

Anyone have a Mac Pro? Apparanly, Apple uses two different manufacturers for the SuperDrive. One is actually faster/better than the Apple specs, so there's firmware to limit its performance. And there's a way of getting around this: [link]

How to create your own iPod screensaver
1. Create a new folder named Demo Mode on the iPod.
2. In iTunes, rename any video file as Demo
3. Don't play anything and keep the iPod on a charger. In 2 minutes the video you renamed as Demo will automatically play and repeat.
