Comments on: How About This… https://fort90.com/how-about-this/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=how-about-this The homebase of Matthew Hawkins Fri, 15 Mar 2024 13:57:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Matt https://fort90.com/how-about-this/#comment-31530 Matt Fri, 09 Jun 2006 01:37:15 +0000 http://www.fort90.com/journal/?p=383#comment-31530 Yeah, I see your point about nudity, but I'd like to think that any potential offensiveness is undercut by the fact that it's a cartoony nipple. Plus, this anthology is ultimately a complete and total realization of who I am in every single aspect in a comic book form. And one major aspect that is impossible to ignore is that I love boobies. That's just who I am. As for your Mac related questions, first off, the best and easiet way to transfer files from one Mac to another is to simply connect the older Mac via Firewire and simply reboot the attatched machine (not the host, or the new primary one) with letter T pressed. This will enable "Target Mode" and it basically turns the G4 into, basically, a Firewire hard drive. Then simply drag all the important stuff over. One very important thing to consider is if you use certain Apple programs like Mail, iCal, iChat, iTunes, Address Book, and Safari. To carry over all your personal settings from your old computer, make sure that you copy the Library file in the users folder (this is the Library folder located in your Home folder... not the one that's in hard drive icon). And don't replace the one that's already there in the new machine, just put it aside, and simply drap and drop whatever files are relevant. This is especially useful for Mail; instead of re-inputting all the setting and the such, which can be a real pain in the ass, as well as importing all your mail messages, which can be somewhat unpredictable for some dumb reason (importing Outlook/Entourage Mail into Apple Mail is easy, but when it comes from another version of Apple Mail, funny things can happen), this way is absolutely hassle free. Also for iTunes, so you don't have to completely re-create all your playlists (just make sure that the actual music goes in the same location as they did before, and if not, you have to re-create the conditions). Plus its always a good idea, right after you've made the move, to not start any of the programs and just run disk permissions verification (which all Mac users should do once a month anyhow). As for selling your G4, once you have all your important files, simply use the install discs that came with that machines to wipe out the hard drive. Make sure you use mulit-pass and zero all data. And you're set! Yeah, I see your point about nudity, but I’d like to think that any potential offensiveness is undercut by the fact that it’s a cartoony nipple.

Granted, I don't mind, and I think the covers look great, but I can see a potential problem with the nipple biting panel. And speaking of "Mac Basics" i was actually going to email you about this: I took the plunge and purchased a new 17inch MacBookPro (y'know SVA offers student discounts on computers to Alumni?), and I was curious what tip you would give for transfering over files and settings from my G4 Desktop, and how I could then prepare my G4 to be sold on eBay? Thanks! -Steve! I agree with MK’s point on avoiding cursing on covers, but what about nudity?
