About time 2.0 t Macworld, we often see amazing technologies even been seen by the secret services of the high-tech demonstrated to us by fire-eyed developers. warring factions of the planet Kabbula. They say “Wow!”; we say “Wow!”; we write Bungie was the worst offender. First there was Oni… A about it; you say “Wow!”. Not long after you’ve “Wow!”. Then there was Halo… “Double Wow!”. Several shown the article to someone else, and they’ve said years after we all first looked forward to pretending to “Wow!”, you start writing in and asking when Wow 1.0 be lithe Japanese urban-shooter girls, Oni finally will be available to buy. Then we realize that what we shipped for the Mac. It’s now at least a couple of years just saw wasn’t anywhere near ready to ship. This is the since we imagined ourselves as body-armoured Halo point at which Wow turns to Oww… space troopers, and still we wait. By the time Halo hits Although, occasionally, Apple shipped products way the streets, Steve Jobs will actually have a halo, and our before they were ready (the, ahem, Newton, for great-great-grandkids will have been conscripted to instance), the company used to pre-announce more fight the imperialistic Kabbulan forces somewhere in stuff than it actually shipped. I remember witnessing the ninth galaxy.

They must have just been lying going to do companies such as Bungie any harm, as to make it look around on floppies and Zip disks gathering dust in long as it also actually invents and ships a few things Apple’s R&D laboratories. that people can buy in the meantime. outdated Maybe an absent-minded Apple boffin – his bottom Pre-announcing operating systems and gleaming immediately still smarting from the Newton fiasco – mislaid these new computers could cripple Apple, and very nearly did disks after they were returned from the demos. during the pre-iMac dark days. by showing off “Geoff, where’s that neat new QuickTime wavy Now, Apple should be applauded for largely sticking something it effect everyone loved at Macworld Boston 1995?” to its Mac OS X timetable – and, in late May, actually “Er… well, I think it’s behind the prototype 15th beating it.

This scary proposition has been bettered by development that they’d lost search utility Sherlock. Apple’s far-more sensible announcement (see page 21) “I’ve got nothing to find it with, either, now…” that, immediately, all new Macs will ship with OS 9.1 Steve Jobs realized that pre-announcing meant installed as default and OS X as an option. killing off all the stuff you can actually make and sell. Apple may very well be right that it’s now possible Apple used to launch a great new Mac, only to make it to survive on Mac OS X alone.

One way that creativity manifests itself is in the way we like M to customize our computers. Nearly every aspect of Mac OS X can be adjusted, enhanced, or otherwise tweaked to suit your personality and your individual style of working. Some modifications are just for fun, while others can boost your productivity, save you time, and make your Mac a genuine partner in your work. The techniques covered in this chapter all involve some sort of customization. Whether it’s sprucing up your toolbars with additional icons, turning your desk- top into an animated aquarium, or bringing back your favorite interface features from Mac OS 9, the next sev- eral techniques can help you to make your Mac truly personal. Some of the techniques even contradict each other a bit (“Add more icons to your Dock! No, wait — remove them all!”), but that reflects the delightful real- ity that we all “think different.” Choose the techniques that best fit your needs and interests. 03 539116 Ch03.qxd 3/25/03 10:30 AM Page 66 03 539116 Ch03.qxd 3/25/03 10:30 AM Page 67 TECHNIQUE 10 PUTTING MORE “TOOL” IN YOUR TOOLBARS .
