You're using that Mac Pro just to make folder icons?

Overkill. :p
How come people care? How come someone has to justify having a pro machine anyway? Seriously. I've seen people have their first kids and buy a Nikon D2X. A $4500 camera to take snap shots of their kids....I mean if they can afford it then let them be!!!

Thanks to the OP for the folders although I'm not on Leopard. ;)

I understand that some people may just prefer a Mac Pro and I know if I had the money I'd definitely get a setup similar to the OPs. In this case, I was merely poking fun at using all that power for a task that my machine could quite happily perform.

That, and I'm pretty darn jealous. :D

I thought it would take more than a couple of minutes. You must have 4Gb RAM or something? I'm not going to bother downloading the image to test on my Merom iMac since it'll destroy my monthly cap i one bite.

Sounds about right. It takes forever to do anything with it once it's open in preview. Photoshop took about 10-15 to open it, and I was able to zoom and scroll right away too. Preview must be SLOW!

Ooh... very nice. Would you be willing to do one additional folder, though? I am looking for a matching folder for Shortcuts. I was thinking that it would have an enlarged shortcut arrow on it, in the same style as the other folders.

If so, I would greatly appreciate it. If not, well then, I understand.

Nevermind... made my own.

Cool, thanks.

If only I could take you out for a beer (assuming you are of legal drinking age of course) but I have no idea where 'The Centennial State' is located for me to drop by. It isn't anywhere near Tokyo is it? If it is it would be quite convenient for me to find you!

Again, thanks.

No problem. I am in New Mexico right now, but I am preparing to move to Colorado (The Centennial State) soon. :)

You are welcome.
