Gurus,
I noticed that my 'bookmarks.plist' folder (or a dupe) appears in my home
folder above the cache folder. I had not noted it there before. Does this
matter? There is a copy in ~/Library/Safari.

Thanks in advance.

Howdy.

Doesn't sound like any legal move I know of.

Although there is a move called en passant that involves pawns.

the en passant rule counter-balances the two squares first move of a
pawn.

An unmoved pawn (in 2nd row), if moved two squares forward and past an
attacking pawn in the 4th row, an be captured by the attacking pawn
when it moves in a diagonal to the 3rd row (past and behind) the pawn
that just moved forward 2 squares AND also capture the pawn.

Hi, Dan. Didn't think I had ever seen the move either. Sent a fix request to Apple. If I ever hear from them, not holding breath, I'll post.

Howdy.

I just been to an office supply store looking for a pen or marker that
writes on CDs / DVDs / BlueRays (the RW/RE rewritable kind) and then
can be erased.

The only thing I could find was an erasable highlighter - brand name
FriXion.

It works fine, you just use a finger to erase, but since it's a
highlighter the writing is too faint.

Any suggestions are very welcome!

At an office supply store, such as OfficeMax, Office Depot or Staples, a few years ago I got a set of four, different colors, Called Sharpie CD/DVD Marker. Each one is 2-ended, one broad and one fine.

Use a Sharpie brand marker and a white eraser. Rubbing alcohol will also work.

I have yet to have a problem with the Sharpie causing problems with the discs. Or look for an AP seal on the marker. The seal is the Art & Creative Materials Institute Certification and will be non-toxic and safe for use on plastics.

I found out about the white eraser after buying a special eraser for markers on plastic, and then figured it out was the same as the eraser I use with my mechanical pencil.

But I don't think these are erasable.

I have found I can easily erase "permanent&quot; markers with a paper tower and rubbing alcohol.

On non-porous surfaces it can be removed with an eraser, or rubbing alcohol. It is more durable than white board markers, but on many surfaces it is not permanent.

And the way that I know about the AP seal is that I am a certified rigging inspector. I have to know what chemicals will damage synthetic slings. Markers with the AP seal will not damage the synthetics, plastics, in the slings.

How about nail polish remover - that's what I used to use on my white boards.

I have a couple of Staedtler Permanent Lumocolor markers with the AP
seal. The store clerk said the black marker is specifically marketed
for writing on CDs/DVDs, but all colors will work without damaging
the disk. I don't know if they're erasable, as I've never had the
desire to erase them.

Howdy.

I'm talking about writing on a ReWritable CD / DVD/ Blueray plastic
disc, then erasing the writing when I erase it to burn it again with
new material.

Nail polish remover would likely dissolve the disc.

Hummm?

Interesting. I have rubbing alcohol and paper towels and will do a
test!

Brent, do you mean something like a Staedtler White Vinyl Eraser?
