fandango, if you're really going to go back to a windows box: i wish you luck. but i think, in the long term, you'll have made a big mistake. still, like i've said to you before: horses, courses etc ;)
In the long term, they might have switched over to an intel architecture, and, FIXED THE FUCKING FINDER. Maybe they'll even allow me to do something about the bizzare window management *chuckles* :-)
However, until hell freezes over, I'm far more content typing this from a Windows box and have had NO REGRETS about switching back.

The new way, it copies it then opens it. So if you Apple-S, it saves to, say, "GF'S Bad Service Template -1" in the "GF's Complaints Letters" folder without asking. If that folder is locked -- like the Designer Masters are at work -- it fails! Silently!.

While we've got the hedz here, anybody have a good solution for fucking FONTS? I use Suitcase, but all my fonts are on an external drive. Suitcase forgets what it's activated, for some reason, so I have to go turn on the sets I want every time I restart. That doesn't happen for fonts on the local drive.

Yes, why are fonts on an external drive? And if suitcase is forgetting, either your suitcase is fucked or the preferences are set wrong. Whatever fonts I open stay open untill I close them.
Now I have a problem with autoactivation with Quark, but am pretty sure it's a bug with Quark, which is a TRULY problematic application I've come to learn to live with.

I've never felt such a mug in all my life. God just imagining the prospect of using Finder (or whatever bullshit "search" function, gadget or app they try & present to make it appear like the file browser is a trifling nonsense to be ignored) and iTunes again, with no good alternatives make me want to stick redhot needles in my scrotum (sorry Momus).
My feelings when I sit back in front of a Windows PC "Ah, good. Now I can stop pissing about pretending to be streamlined and efficient and actually f*cking get something done, as the operating system isn't permanently working against me so hard"
I can't even face unpacking my boxed up iBook to watch a DVD :( My sister apparently wants to buy it, but even that seems like keeping it in my life too much now (god no, not 'family' tech support for the evil f*cking thing).

the fix the finder stuff rilly can get irritating.
on the other hand, with the side-shelf & the right cmd & option combos, etc., navigating the finder is still waay faster than windows -- just took a little getting used to.
