OK, am I cheap or what? At the last MacHack, Woz himself released a hack that made the trash (under Classic) act in a way that I feel is more intuitive. When you drop a removeable disk in the trash it gives you the option of ejecting or formatting. <br><br>Call me a UI fanatic, but that seems to be a step in the right direction.<br><br>So - how can I get this bit of software without buying a (pretty cheap) $20 CD for one tiny bit of software? I have not been able to find something like that at VersionTracker, likely Steve W never bothered to submit it. <br><br>Again, forgive my reluctance to support a noble and worthy cause such as MacHack in this instance by asking about the software. I hope they aren't mad at me for asking if it was freely available (yes I looked on woz.org).<br><br><br><br>

What else would be nice under classic (you may be able to do this in OS X, I don't know) is use the eject command on net volumes. Instead, I have to reach my finger over to "Y" every time, and I rather would just use "E".<br><br>--John Bailey( [color:red]Bdog</font color=red> )<br><br>Email Me ---> bdog_111@yahoo.com

Why don't you just resedit comand/shift/E or something to erase?<br><br>Not as elegant, true, but when I drag that sucker to trash (which I rarely do) I want it to eject.<br><br>Wouldn't slow you down that way. Personally I hate options. And I'm so lazy I'll hit the arrow key until it highlights the volume I want erased/ejected anyway. ;)<br><br>OTOH, I so rarely erase anything anymore why do I need command/shift/E?<br><br>Do have a Zip 250 in tower but only use one piece of media..... for a startup disk with all utilities on it. Have maybe two dozen of those blank suckers.<br><br>(Obviously at this time of nite my mind starts to wander.)<br><br>

You cannot add "shift" to a command via "ResEdit". Yea, it sucks.<br><br>--John Bailey( [color:red]Bdog</font color=red> )<br><br>Email Me ---> bdog_111@yahoo.com

Details, details, details, details........ :)<br><br>How about command-Z?<br><br>I used to use that for something, but forget what. Now command-B was restart, comand-........ (I never was very original.....often used command-T for empty Trash like everyone else in the universe.....but what the heck, it worked.....) :)<br><br>Actually, what about F12...... :)<br><br>

I actually use "F12" to show/hide my Extension Strips.<br><br>--John Bailey( [color:red]Bdog</font color=red> )<br><br>Email Me ---> bdog_111@yahoo.com

<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>I actually use "F12" to show/hide my Extension Strips.<p><hr></blockquote><p><br>Wouldn't work with the Apple Extended Keyboard II I bought in 1994 (ADB + iMate) that I use with my G4 DP Tower. F12 ejects the CD drive and I don't think it can be reassigned. :P<br><br>(gimme a break!) :)<br><br><br>

Oh, sorry, I wasn't clear enough. I use F12 on my iBook (the highest "F" key), otherwise, on my iMac, I use F15.<br><br>--John Bailey( [color:red]Bdog</font color=red> )<br><br>Email Me ---> bdog_111@yahoo.com

No problem. I understood your meaning. My comment about using F12 was a bit sarcastic. :)<br><br>What you need is an Apple Extended II keyboard. Best keyboard ever invented for any computer. They only cost about $180. when discontinued.<br><br>I have about five or six in storage. Can't give them away anymore. I believe once in a while someone advertises one on eBay and they sell for twenty or thirty dollars, but shipping is $10. plus.<br><br>Grand old keyboards. Of course they're ADB, however, hence the need for an iMate ($40.??). I also have an Apple Pro which I merely have to plug in to my 7-port USB hub, unplugging the iMate at the same time, if I have a special need or problem on restart (or want to do something really dumb like hack the firm ware). :)<br><br>

I did something very interesting with two pro keyboards.<br><br>I was ordering some for stock at work, but appleorder sucks, and so I got 3 spanish pro keyboards. I was looking at the keys, and said to myself "hey, there are some cool looking keys on here". So, I popped off some of the "cool" keys, and swapped them with my english pro keyboard. Now it's awsome. I may take a picture of it some day, and then I could show you. My favorite it the page up/down keys. It's a wierd looking arrow. Very nice.<br><br>--John Bailey( [color:red]Bdog</font color=red> )<br><br>Email Me ---> bdog_111@yahoo.com
