You mean "Babel", right? :p

However it is spelled (never claimed that spelling was one of my strong points, since it's not) :p but yes, that is the item I am talkin about.

Just returning a little friendly fire...:D

My Bible studies were never my strong suit...all I recall is that it had a negative connotation. Is that right?

"babble" is definitely fitting though..:p

I burned my bible (wonder if that will start a flame war :D )...

I believe that is where the term babble came from....
 
Spanish

Ei mannen stop eens met al dat Spaans gedoe, en praat eens Nederlands gelijk alle deftige mensen.

Of misschien Engels. Dan kunnen we allemaal wat meegenieten van de fijne commentaren.

Okay... because you ask it so kindly...

Hey guys stop the Spanish stuff please, and talk Dutch like all normal people (smiley needed here).

Or maybe English. So we can all enjoy the nice comments.

My 2 cents...

C'est formidable que tu parles tant de langues! Un atout de la vie en europe, sans doute.

Je sais que mon espagnol n'est pas complètement parfait. Mon bout était de corriger KC, qui le demander des autres.

Je suis vraiment content de voir que nous avons un communauté si international et diverse! :)

Y yo tambien! Pense que los americanos no tenian mucho interes.... actually, let's take this one up in community discussion...

he he.... Would it make this on-topic, to mention the language support within OS X? :rolleyes:

Actually, that is worth mentioning.

Arabic, Hebrew, several Cyrillic based languages...even Hawaiian, which is funny, since Hawaiian uses the Roman keyboard minus a few consonants.

I'm impressed, and it will make my job easier (technician, web designer for a foreign language lab). Go Apple!:D

So what improvements *could* be implemented in a future release of OS X? At the moment it's possible to change the menu language, the keyboard lazout (he he... using a german layout the y and z swap places... annoying... :mad: ), anything else that can be changed?

Just checking through the list of possible keyboard layouts... Swiss German is in there. That's impressive, considering that there isn't even an 'official' spelling for the language!
 
The ones I listed above are in the Jaguar dev I've been using.

It's pretty cool typing in Arabic in TextEdit...except the text is entered left to right instead of right to left...

Now that must be confusing. Can you imagine having to read english from right to left? I would hope that's something that'll be fixed before 10.2 goes gold.

Does anyone have any specific details on when OS X 10.2 (Jaguar) will be released? I know its going to be sometime late this summer, but I would like to know when it will start shipping on the iMacs.

Per the original topic of this post [minus specific details]:
as simple as this sounds, Perhaps 10.2 is set for release on 10/2/2002...

For example: QT6-Preview was released today 06/04 (quicktime 6, mpeg 4),
and this quote from Apple's website, regarding the expiration of the preview:

"How long can I use QuickTime 6 Public Preview?
This software will expire in October, 2002."


Anyone know of any reason why the QT6-Preview would run until October,
if X.2 were to come out earlier than October??? :confused:

My hope is that Apple allowed some overlap time for the release of Jaguar while people's Quicktime Preview hasn't expired. Remember how for several days you couldn't use Eudora because Eudora beta hadn't been updated? I think Jaguar will be out in September, and Apple is giving time for people to get Jaguar into October in case there are shipping difficulties. Remember it is called Jaguar and not 10.2.

Excellent point... Also, didn't Apple say that they are not quite sure exactly what it will be [called] when it is [officially] released, e.g. "Jaguar 10.2", "Jaguar", "Mac OS X - Jaguar", etc...??? Personally, I'm really hoping that it will ship earlier, with - like you mentioned - an overlap between release and QT6-Preview...

Would obviously be better, since any new PowerMacs should (hope) be shipping by August - a further two month wait for Jaguar would be frustrating...
 
Re: Speed and Name

The speed of many things is quite a bit faster.
ie, on my Ti 400 in 10.1.4 the terminal could take up to 8 bounces to launch.
in Jaguar it is down to just over 2.

As to the name, my guess is it will be 10.5 not 10.2. In the about this mac box it says Pre-release. Mine is build 6c35.
on the disk i received from Apple Computer inc. the version read 10.2.0 jagwire but they might switich it to 10.5 at the final relese. 10.5 sounds more official

I hope soon

I really want that rendevous thing that lets you share proograms over a network. That would be cool to set up a mac downstairs and share the iTunes music.

I think that's just a new feature of iTunes. Rendezvous is a technology that makes IP based networks act like appletalk. Remember how when you plugged a mac into an appletalk network it would automatically come up with a list of all the comps on the network? Now you'll be able to do that with other types of networks. No more typing in IP addresses all the time! :) :) :)

That might be a good reason for someone to NOT tell you about a good hotline/carracho server ;)

I'm pretty sure that Jaguar won't be in the release name. I think 10.1 was "Puma" but no one calls it that now.
