OS X and Classic...with Style
I ran across a pretty nifty gathering of info pointing out a number of ways to tweak (or hack) your OS X setup to make it a bit more...personal. Take a look at The Grand Panjandrum's Mac OS X Public Beta Info & Hacks site. Within, I was specifically inspired by the Getting Most of the Classic Finder Back page, which explains how to get your old Finder's pop-up windows back, among many other things. This page (and the massive three-monitor screenshot at the top) also showed me just how much massively finer Classic looks when running a Kaleidoscope scheme. (I just installed Kaleidoscope and got my OS X looking a lot nicer without a hitch (well, install after booting into OS 9 directly...not under OS X!))
Anyway...thought others might enjoy.
