Wonderful Wizardry of 'Woz'

Wonderful Wizardry of 'Woz' - By RU Sirius, 10 Zen Monkeys (a webzine)
It is decidedly a nerd biography. iWoz: From Computer Geek to Cult Icon: How I Invented the Personal Computer, Co-Founded Apple, and Had Fun Doing It by Steve Wozniak (the true creator of the original Apple) and Gina Smith, shows how Woz thinks, eats and breathes like an engineer. Most of the high points in his personal narrative revolve around moments when he figures out how stuff works, gets stuff to work, or executes some offbeat prank.

Apple - Pro - Tip of the Week

Finding Where the © and ™ Symbols Live
... (2) add Character Palette access to your menu bar, so you can access it when you're working in other applications (like Microsoft Word or Adobe InDesign). You do this by going to the System Preferences in the Apple menu, under International, and clicking on the Input Menu tab. Turn on the checkbox for Character Palette and it will appear in the menu bar along the right side. (on the Kootenay Mac G4 it is in the keyboard flag icon dropdown next to the date and volume; btw, the © and ™ are in Letterlike Symbols)

A Reader Asks:
Dear Woz,
When you call Apple to order stuff and you give them your name, do people recognize you and say "Hey, your that dude that created Apple!"

Woz: I order Apple stuff online. I doubt that any human ever sees the names. But once I ordered a gigabit ethernet option. Apple noticed two months later that only two of these had been ordered, both by me! I do get noticed every time I buy shareware, and that brings me a lot of T-shirts that I get good use out of.

Burning Multiple Times to the Same CD

Apple - Pro - Tips
Generally, when you burn files to a CD once, you’re done — you can’t burn to that CD again. Unless you use this little trick: First create a new folder and give it a descriptive name (something like “burn baby burn!” Kidding).

The Secret Screen Capture Shortcut
"Okay, you probably already know the ol' Command-Shift-3 shortcut for taking a screen capture of your entire screen, and you may even know about Command-Shift-4, which gives you a crosshair cursor so you can choose which area of the screen you want to capture. But perhaps the coolest, most-secret hidden capture shortcut is Control-Command-Shift-3 (or 4), which, instead of creating a file on your desktop, copies the capture into your Clipboard memory, so you can paste it where you want."

“The One-Click Trick to Moving the Dock”

“The One-Click Trick to Moving the Dock”
Here’s how: Hold the shift key, click directly on the Dock’s divider line (on the far right side of the Dock), and drag the Dock to the left or right side of your screen. Bam! It moves over to the side. Then... just shift-click on that divider line and slam it back to the bottom.
