Useful OSX hints forum

[clive]

Hi guys

Many of us are mac users and every now and again, especially in post production, we run into unexpected software glitches. And, for some people calling the help line isn't always an option

Anyhow, I had a jpeg issue that resulted in a major photoshop 7 crash today. I was hunting for solutions and found this site/forum.

I'm passing it on as I found the solution to my problem is about two minutes, even though the end solution was extremely strange (Had to change the timezone on my machine from GMT to EST)

Anyway, here it is. Good mac using.

Deluge? I've never had a single problem with any of my Macs - from "The Macintosh" in 1982 (with a whopping 128KB RAM and the 400MB floppy) and the SE in 1987, through the Performa 450 in 1993, to the first iMac in 1998 and now my G5 iMac.

Interesting that I paid $2,300 for the first one in 1984 and $600 LESS for the G5 in 2005.

I hadn't seen two of those sites - so thanks!

400MB floppy

I think you meant 400KB.. pretty significant difference in size and $$ (especially in those days)
