Re: TI-H: Speed of da G3
Yeah see, none mac users don't understand. Extensions are sometimes
Libraries, sometimes not. More often they are system trap patches
(Glidel, Kaleidoscope) or complete feature sets that must stay
resident in memory (or at least their memory location must be ready)
examples are QuickTime, Open Transport. I would like to see a screen
shot of the window maker thingy in action. How do you find simple
tasks hard to do on the MacOS? There are 5 different ways to do each
task.
