You can go to the View menu in Safari, select Customize Toolbar & add the Zoom feature there to easily increase your text size with a couple of quick clicks.

Just a suggestion. I thought it would apply to whatever is in the same
window/tab, just as it does to the tab in which I read these posts in
Gmail.

So every other website I visit is at normal viewing size? Only
Yahoo Groups is tiny until I have to hit the dang zoom tool every
time I visit here and leave here?




What were Yahoo Groups Designer's thinking? Let's make our groups
twice as small text in the new interface? It will please our
Fashion Shoot Mama?

That's what it is. Unfortunately, it's not plugged into the keyboard, but into the other end of the cable. I can't pull it apart without destroying one of the connectors:-( [and yes, I tried pliers and other tools to separate connectors].

Hmmm. Normally connecting one end to the other is a good idea because it
protects all the contacts, but I suspect there's a ridge in the female
connector (to match the groove in the kb's plug) that's causing the tight
fit.

Howdy.

I think you have an Apple USB keyboard extension cable. Like an
extension cord.

These came with a number of Macintosh models. Adds length to the
keyboard USB cable.

But Apple designed a little "gotcha" into their extension cable.

The female end has a little metal tab that mates with the Apple brand
keyboard USB cable.

This tab prevents the cable being used for other devices like as an
extender cable for your iPhone.

If you plugged a regular cable into it you likely forced it past the
tab. It can be removed but some force is needed and some care needs to
be used so the cords aren't pulled out of the plastic connectors.

But Wait! There's more.

You can defeat the little metal tab by using beak nose (electrician)
pliers and just mash it down. Then a regular USB cable will plug in.

I've done this with several of these Apple extension cables and use
them on iPhone and iPad. Very convenient for the hotel room where the
socket isn't next to a chair, desk, or night stand and the extra length
makes it workable.

Sorry, not sure where the text messages are stored.

We found in the Sept 4 2010 7.1 and the Feb 22 2011  6.3 that the switches became not required. BBQ was for sure!

I like the idea of earthquake-prone countries having sideways switches. ;)

Me too! Boy this has been fun and educational. To some degree, anyway.

Howdy.

There are several reports out that the Roccat company has made it's
mouse products Mac OS X compatible.

I'd like to know if anyone here has used a Roccat Kone XTD gaming mouse
on a PC or on a Mac and what your opinion is. Or, opinion of Roccat
mice in general. Reliable?

Some of the features are:

-8200 dpi sensor
-8 buttons
-shift button lets each button do two functions
-"32-bit processor" (on a mouse?)
-add or remove weights on the mouse
-bunch of other features

About $85.00 USD.

Any opinions out there?

Howdy.

Jim, MacPro towers have two Ethernet ports.

Both can be used. They are designated as Ethernet 1 and Ethernet 2.

If you plug an Ethernet cable into each of these networking ports, and
something at the end of both Ethernet cables, then in your System
Prefs>Network panel, in the Sources column on left, you should see
Ethernet 1 and Ethernet 2 services (along with others like WiFi or
FireWire).

You might already see an Ethernet 2 but "Not Connected."

If this works on an iMac, and it has TWO Ethernet ports, then you could
keep your regular Ethernet cable plugged into iMac but you could plug
in a 2nd Ethernet cable to the monitor and connect it to something like
a NAS RAID Drive box via Ethernet.

This arrangement might reduce traffic over your main Ethernet network.

I have a Buffalo LinkStation Pro Mirrored RAID box on my main Ethernet
switch but it seems I could also plug it into my MacPro's 2nd Ethernet
port. The RAID is my iTunes Music Library and works with my Mac and
with a whole house Sonos music system. So if I were to plug it into
the MacPro's 2nd Ethernet port I'd have to keep the Mac on all the time
in order for the Sonos system to access it. (I think . . . . - not
having tried it . . .)
