LUTHER  Or better yet, DEV, answer them here, as then we all get to see it. In the original post, the sentence with the question mark (?) behind it is the question. That's how English grammar works.

LUTHER  >>>should be suing Apple for ruining a whole week's worth of work if I weren't such a forgiving soul.

Are you not sueing because you are so forgiving, or because you know it would be a waste of your time and money AND you would still loose the lawsuit? ;)

LUTHER  Yeah, never run an app off of the disk image, ESPECIALLY when the read me tells you not to. It is pretty foolish to leave a negative comment about an app because you can't follow directions.

Apple MacBook SMC Firmware Updater
Aug 18 2006

LUTHER  gazman - with the fan running all the time, yes, it should run cooler. But notebooks are designed to handle a little heat, and Apple originally designed the MacBook that way, so is it necessary to run the fan all the time? No. Apple is forced to make the fan all the time as the only solutioin to fix the mooing in certain MacBooks.

The question is, do you want to put up with the noise of the fan running all the time? I work in a silent environment and prefer it to stay that way.

Apple MacBook SMC Firmware Updater
Aug 17 2006

LUTHER  I read on another forum that a MacBook user, who did not have a mooing MB, applied this update, and then he noticed his fan on all the time. Now his silent MacBook is making noise, noise from the fan constantly spinning. Just a word of warning to those without the moo who like their MacBook as it is -- IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT! I do not think I am going to apply this update because I don't want my fan spinning all the time.

GAZMAN  Apparently its not just for the moos, it also makes the MacBooks run significantly cooler, especially at idle.

ZORG  I agree. The quiet MacBook now has a constant fan noise (though I wouldn't call it noise -- a very faint white-noise). Only really noticable when in absolute quiet. AND my MB does run cooler (was between 65 and 75C -- now constantly less than 58C; using CoreDuo Temp).

LUTHER  I have loved Meteorologist over the past couple of years, even with the weather.com changes that have created downtime in the past. ;) Thanks to the developer(s) who have kept this going.

I was looking for an Intel native version and found one here:

Note that the above link NOT Universal, meaning that this is ONLY for Intel Macs and not PowerPC Macs.

MenuMeters

LUTHER  >Would be great to have an "Airport signal strength" meter!! <

Apple already includes an "Airport signal strength" meter in the OS. Open Network preferences, show: Airport, then check "Show Airport status in menu bar." It has 4 bars to show airport signal strength.

LUTHER  First, I appreciate your efforts. And the improvements you have made are nice, especially finder copying.

I tried the full view, which IS a larger icon, but I don't care for that viewing angle of the MB.

I downloaded a couple of freeware utilities here on MacUpdate, found Apple's stock photos, and made my own icon that is full width. Also, for some reason, the icons I made are black, while the straight shot of the black MacBook from dpoint design appears dark gray in comparison. Have a look:

IconBuilder
May 24 2006
***..

LUTHER  I had always downloaded Mac icons other people made to replace my hard disk icon. But now I purchased a MacBook, and the only MacBook icon I found was a little small, so I downloaded IconBuilder to try to make my own MacBook icon using Photoshop Elements. After spending over an hour reading the tutorial and attempting to create my own MacBook icon, I failed.

Then I ran across Easy Bake Icon and IconDroplet, and with those freeware tools, I was able to create my own MacBook icon in a matter of minutes! IconBuilder may be right for others, but for me, the freeware tools were the way to go. It was so fun and easy, I might just make myself a few more icons.

LUTHER  I was looking for a decent MacBook icon to replace the stock hard drive icon on the OS X desktop, but I only found one, and it was small. So after downloading Easy Bake Icon and IconDroplet, and preping Apple's stock photo in Photoshop Elements, I was able to create my own MacBook icon in a matter of minutes. Excellent! Thank you to the developer of this program for making it free.

LUTHER  Like the other poster, at first I could not figure out how to use these icons. Apparently one needs "IconDroplet," but the developer failed to include this information in the read me. Also, the icons are very small. I have my desktop icon size set to 48 x 48, and the MacBook icon is tiny in comparison to all other icons. There appears to be too much invisible border around icon. I'm going to look for another MacBook icon.

Right click go to get info highlight the icon, then go to icon you want to replace, then right click it, and copy, and paste it to the area or icon you want to replace!

Apple Final Cut Express
May 19 2006

LUTHER  FINAL CUT EXPRESS WILL RUN JUST FINE ON A MACBOOK. In yesterday's news on xlr8yourmac.com, a user commented that Final Cut Pro 5.1 runs JUST FINE on a Mac Mini 1.5GHz core solo with the same GMA950 graphics card as the MacBook. Quote: "Final Cut starts and runs fine... To say it installed and worked is an understatement, I was blown away it worked!!" No doubt Final Cut Express will have no trouble on the much faster core duo 1.83/2.0GHz MacBooks.

RBrowser

**...

LUTHER  I've been using RBrowserLite for years with no problems. Great little FTP utility. I just purchased a new MacBook to replace a Mac Mini G4 so thought I download the newer version of RBrowser that is Intel native. Deleted old app/prefs/application support of the Lite Version, but couldn't get v. 4.3.5 of RBrowser to work. I have reinstalled RB Lite on my Mini from my backup, and all is working well just like it used to. Guess I'll just use the lite version under Rosetta emulation for now.

EASYEDE  Luther and Chris - you should check to see if there is some other issue that is causing the problem. I use the program on an older MacBook G4, a MacPro Dual Core and a current iMac - all running on the latest version of OS X - and have no problems of any kind.
