First post from…

This is my first post from a Dell Latitude D600 running MAC Leopard.

It has taken me a while to get it working but still got a few glitches to get around…Wireless, Display…but Audio, Network are all fine, even the volume buttons at the top work, with a nice display of what volume you are set to on screen.

I had to get the MACADD spoof trick working on here like i did on the GX620 earlier on.

Ill post more when i get working… :-)

Taking Screenshots MacOSX

For the past 2 weeks i have been using osx86 on my Dell, and I have never took a screenshot before using Leopard. I pressed the Print Screen Key and i get a nice little pong! ah ah…not avaliable in MacOSX follow the guidelines below if you want to print screen your desktop etc… me personally like Command-Shift-4

By command button if you are using a windows keyboard use the windows key :)

Shortcuts

Command-Shift-3: Take a screenshot of the screen, and save it as a file on the desktop
Command-Shift-4, then select an area: Take a screenshot of an area and save it as a file on the desktop
Command-Shift-4, then space, then click a window: Take a screenshot of a window and save it as a file on the desktop
Command-Control-Shift-3: Take a screenshot of the screen, and save it to the clipboard
Command-Control-Shift-4, then select an area: Take a screenshot of an area and save it to the clipboard
Command-Control-Shift-4, then space, then click a window: Take a screenshot of a window and save it to the clipboard
In Leopard, the following keys can be held down while selecting an area (via Command-Shift-4 or Command-Control-Shift-4):

Space, to lock the size of the selected region and instead move it when the mouse moves
Shift, to resize only one edge of the selected region
Option, to resize the selected region with its center as the anchor point

MARSEdit MacOSX

Since i have been running osx86 on my Dell i have been missing the windows LIVE writer program that uploads a post to your blog, after a quick search today i came across MARSEdit a free download from apple that basically does the same as windows live writer. I haven’t found any problems with MARSEdit yet but i will post them if and when i come across them.
