I thought there should be a thread for us to discuss Mac news, etc.. I just found this site and I'm so ecstatic. I know exactly what I want.

thanks. I just added it.

for some reason I never registered with mac-forums. as I remember, there was some strange requirement that I can't think of now that kept me from registering.

weird ... maybe it was a different forum i was on. i was a fairly prolific poster for a while ... hmm.

i hate when message boards require you to have an email account that isn't "free" ... it's really annoying.

yep. I think that was it.

speaking of...why does The Ledge require that? I signed up back when you could still have a hotmail account. so, of course, the email I'm registered with is long gone, but I can't change it cause I still have only hotmail. I think it's totally stupid. but that could just be my ignorance of the reasoning.

i think it's to prevent people from registering under multiple accounts, or at least make it more difficult to do so. i'm just glad i have my school acct, or i couldn't have registered!

That's exactly why.

We had a few losers (but most especially one) who tried registering tons of different accounts with various offensive names and/or names that were intentional slams towards various Ledgies.

The solution was to ban web-based email accounts and require ISP-based accounts instead.

aha. mystery revealed and sense made.

damn. leave it to Stewy to make both of those happen in a matter of moments this late at night.

I like to peruse tucows for mac downloads. I used to bookmark ZDNet Mac downloads, but its kinda changed and I dont go there anymore.

ClearDock is cool. lets you take off the grayish color of your dock so that it's clear. you can get it at unsanity or versiontracker I think.

I also want to get some themes, but you have to have Shapeshifter I think and I'm not sure how all that works. I'll have to look into it.

anyone else found some new, cool apps?

anyone have experience with CandyBar (to change icons) or changing icons manually?
