Amazon.com: Crossing Platforms : A Macintosh/Windows Phrasebook: Explore similar items
Frank recommended this book and it may be worth buying. I’ve used the helpful suggestions I’ve gotten but alas, there’s a lack of consistency to be dealt with. I have tamed the folder view problem, mostly: I now seem to get the Details view when I open a folder, but I still have to adjust the column widths so I can see the %&^%&^ file name.
And from what I can tell, your local preferences are ignored when you open folders on a networked drive. You get what you get and that’s never what you want.
Another annoyance: if you have a folder/window open, and realize it’s misnamed or could be more appropriately named, you can’t change the name in the title bar where the text is plainly editable. No, that’s a search engine dialog box. How could think it was anything else?
Actually, when I review the sample pages at Amazon, I’m not so sure it will help. I don’t need to know how to setup my desktop background. And the difference in nomenclature between ADB ports and PS/2 ports is useless.
I guess I need to look through more than the 9 pages online to see how useful this will be. It’s $30.00, after all. The fact that there are used copies selling for less that five bucks isn’t too encouraging.
