To me the loss of Freehand was hard to take when Adobe bought and sent it to the ovens. The Freehand drawing tool was such a simple friendly easy tool, compared to clunky Illustrator drawing. But you get used to anything eventually. The French lived w the Nazi's, or died in a torture chamber.

Have you heard the approaching Nazi Cloud Front approaching?

I have 'Cookie' by SweetP Productions.
I have trained it (it isn't complex at all)

I CHOOSE what are friendly and what aren't.
I never worry about tracking anymore.

I had done just that, Hal, by the time that I had read your post. Thanx.

I have selected 77 domains, which contain 500 cookies, so I am told by the Cookies app.

The Cookies app is not entirely satisfactory, because all the deleted cookies return as soon as Safari is reopened. I never (until now) closed Safari, because there were many items and articles that I always wanted to read in the future.

I knew that Safari could always reconstitute previously opened windows, however I tended not to bother with that. I just left the app open.

Just now, Safari has (per the Cookies app) 521 domains (of which 77 are faves) containing 2138 'unique cookies'. I want all those extra cookies gone . . . forever. The Cookies app (by SweetP Productions) does NOT do that, unfortunately.

Have a looksee to check if the 'gone' cookies are really gone, Hal.

You must tell Cookie to trash them upon Quit.

Safari Bookmark?

Your choice.

I have 31 Domains, 31 Favorites, and 278 Unique Cookies that I do not ever want to trash because they are my Friendly Cookies I chose.

If you do not want any cookies then don't select any Friendly Cookies. But that is your choice.

Oneal, if you are leaving all those items and articles open, and they all open every time you start up your Mac or Safari, that is what is creating all those cookies.

Save those in a Bookmark folder called "Read Later" or something and close them. Then clear your cookies and reopen Safari and see what you get.

If your system supports it, the Reading List feature in Safari is a perfect spot for saving web pages that you want to view later.

I want to be able to highlight a character and determine the ASCII value (or copy and paste into such a utility that can do this).

Suggestions?

Thanks,
Dave

Dave,
Copy the character, open Character Viewer, and paste into the search field.
Character Viewer may be placed in the menu bar using System Preferences/Keyboard.

Howdy.

Barry suggested a great utility named PopChar.

I haven't used PopChar since it was shareware. I think now it is a
commercial program. It's very convenient and adds a tiny clickable
letter "P" on the Menu bar. It's a bit like Character Viewer and
Keyboard Viewer combined but with some additional features. Very
popular for year going back to the mid 1990s for folks doing desktop
publishing and language work.

Hans suggested using Character Viewer which is part of the Mac OS X
system and can be added as part of the Input menu on the Menu bar.

However, I could not figure out how to see any ASCII number with any
character pasted into the search function in Character Viewer. Maybe
this is a difference in versions? I'm using Mountain Lion.

There is a separate little free application named ASCII Viewer that you
can download. Paste a character into it and you see the Character, the
ASCII Code, the Octal Code and the Hex Code as well as the font and
font size.

Check here for a download:

<http://download.cnet.com/ASCII-Viewer/3000-2247_4-10110611.html>

CNET has an entire section for finding and downloading freeware,
shareware, postcareware, nagware, and commercial programs. Similar to
MacUpdate.

There are a bunch of ASCII typing/viewing utilities but many are older
and require PPC software or Rosetta to run on an Intel Mac and thus
many have seen their ends as useful programs for Mountain Lion and
Lion.

If you are new to Macintosh, not that the basic ASCII character set of
zero to 127 are the same on Macintosh and Windows. This includes the
invisible control characters from zero to 32.

However, the extended ASCII character set from 128 on up differs on
Windows and Macintosh.

If you are new to Macintosh, you should learn to use basic keyboard
commands for entering common extended ASCII using keys like the Option
and other keys key. These commands have been around since 1984 when
the Mac was first entered.

An example is the letter "e" with acute as in Résumé. Enter the e
acute by pressing Option (keep pressed) then add the letter e. Then
let go of both keys and press the e again. This sequence is available
for frequently used accented characters. Like "five" in German.
Fünf.

Good luck.

I'm looking to get a cheap (<$20) iPad case, probably from one of the
usual Chinese suspects, like DX. But there's so many. Can anyone
recommend one?

Thanks

I use a CaseCrown brand case. Amazon has a wide variety of colors and models for under $20.

For the great majority of people, a waste of money that significantly degrades the screen quality while in place.

You don't need a screen protection like clear plastic. Some sort of cover, sleeve or case if it is to be packed loosely with other things and a little care goes a long ways.

The sales guy is trying to increase the amount of the sale with add ons.

What's the common thinking on this?
