Screenshot Hacks for Mac OS X

January 22, 2004 @ 8:56 pm · Filed under OS X

“Capturing great screenshots in Mac OS X involves a little adventure. If you simply want to capture something on your monitor for reference later on, you can do that easily with the built-in screen capture tool. However, if you are a professional writer (or a student preparing an important report) and need great-looking screenshots, you have to spend a little more time exploring your options.”

what is mac os x

January 9, 2004 @ 5:44 am · Filed under OS X

“This document attempts to give a hacker over-friendly answer to the question “What is Mac OS X?”. My original motivation in writing this was that somebody had proxy-volunteered me to give a talk introducing Mac OS X to the Linux Users Group at my work place. While thinking over what to say to those folks, most (if not all) of whom are strangers to Mac OS X, I decided to write a supplementary document that they could refer to at their leisure.

Since I moved to Mac OS X, I have had a few discussions with people who are curious about Apple and Mac OS X, but have not used the platform. Often, what they think is a somewhat distorted, perhaps even incorrect version of the “truth”: there are many areas in which they think the Mac is worse or better than it really is. Consider (with colloquialisms preserved):

- Macs are good only for graphics/media work.
- Macs suck for hackers.
- There is very little software for the Mac.
- Macs are overpriced/not worth the price.
- Mac OS X is Unix.
- Mac OS X is not Unix.
- Mac OS X rocks. Linux is crap.
- Mac OS X is crap. Linux rocks.
Some such curiosities and questions are addressed in this document.”
