 Hope you like it Karen. 

Now you know what the next logical thing will probably be? Are you considering the "L" word?

Lute?
Linux?
Latex?
Leather?
Lino?
Leotard?
Lycra?
Line amplifier?

Karyn's gone over and will only be talking to Rain now.  


THey'll form a little clique and build a club house for the Mac kids. Ampfixer sad. 

You'll not get rid of me that easily John.

Yeah!!!!!!!!!! Ampfixer happy.  

You are one of the few "live one's " here Karyn, you are not allowed to not post here!

Congrats Karyn!

Right-clicking on the mounted disc image icons will also give you an "Eject" option. The reason it behaves this way is that it simulates the mounting of a storage device a-la UNIX/Linux. The eject is to unmount the device.

I used to use Paralels, and I may install it again. It worked great for me, but I never ran SONAR that way.

I'm happy to help you with any Mac questions.

Thanks Thomas,

Here's my first question...


I downloaded a game I've been playing on my PC,  it comes in a .zip file which extracts to a complete folder that is ready to run.  On the PC you just save the folder in your favourite place to save stuff and right click/drag the .exe to the desktop to create a link.

So far on the mac, I found the folder in the download stack. It appears to have self extracted already.  I dragged it to the desktop from where I can open it and run the game, but I'm left with a blue folder on the desktop that I want to move and replace with a program link/icon...

I'm very new to macs and can't even find the disk to see what's on it.


I feel stupid

Hi Karyn-

You can drag the "executable" into the dock and it will create a visual and clickable link/icon to your game. My personal preferred way for launching things is to use the spotlight. If you use the shortcut COMMAND + SPACEBAR, it opens the spotlight. Just begin typing the name of the game, and it will find it very quickly. When you see it highlighted in the list, just hit ENTER, and it will launch.

I personally prefer this, because it's really quick. Mac's indexing is really good, and you will see that you are able to launch things very quickly this way. I haven't tried to create executable shortcuts anywhere but in the dock, but I'll check it out for you.

Hi Karyn (again)-

I just noticed that the "Launchpad" is the visual place to have all your application icons. Mine all seem to appear in there without having had to create them.
