Would you believe, I’m hoping like HELL this works, I really am!
Because these first few lines I written in WorldText, on the iMac, with the newly installed version of Mac OS 9.2.2.
And a rather iWatering set of themes!
Oh, confusing, there’s no Delete button on the older keyboard!
I’d better not get anything wrong!!
I’ve also realised the Heads Up display works a bit differently in OS 9!
Well, it does!
When you hit ‘ctrl’ and ‘⇥’ in OS X — and I’m kicking myself for not getting a Grab — the built-in OS X Heads Up Display crops up in the middle of the screen, and lets you use ‘ctrl’ and ‘⇥’ to scroll through the open apps, to use them, quit them, what-have-you.
The key combo’s the same in OS 9.2.2 …
But, instead of the what I’d’ve expected, the scrolling HUD is in the top right hand corner of the screen; in the corner that Spotlight now occupies.
It’s also taken me a while to find the Launcher; what’s now the Dock, in OS X.
But it’s buried in the Control Panels Menu; accessible from the Apple Menu.
Confusing?

Post a Comment
I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
