Thanks for your response! The reason i´m searching for alternatives are the really exploding prices for first gen. Airport cards on bay. half a year ago average end price was aroun…

Market forces are at work...and Apple just isn't making the original card anymore. Declining supply means increasing price. Sorry. I'd still jump on a real AirPort card because …

euphras, are you talking about an Orinoco card or an AirPort card? The latest AirPort update should upgrade just about all AirPort cards to handle WPA...

I´m talking about the Orinoco one. The original Airport cards are going for over 110-120 bucks on *bay Germany these days.

That's interesting the original Airport cards can be upgraded to support WPA. I would've considered one of them for my PowerBook had I known that.

There may be some particular models that just don't have the components to upgrade, but they should also be pretty old ones... I was first surprised at their upgrade potential whe…

Even more interesting. Too bad the cards are so expensive. I would've preferred one instead.

Hi all. Is there a hack/utitility that does this: 1--allows OS/X to run an app in the full window 2--because the entire screen is taken up by the currently active app, there is …

For single-window apps you can command-click the zoom button to have it fill the entire screen. Other than that, I don't know. If you don't like clutter, you can always hide stuff.

I just tried that in iTunes and it just resized the window to the smallest allowable square. IT DID NOT WORK!!!!!! And even if I hid an app, if I click on an open sliver, the bac…

Apps can do this themselves if their developers want them to (e.g., Photoshop, most games), but I don't think it's normally possible to force an app to steal the entire screen.

ChuckIt, every time I see that a Mac cannot do it all, I am slowly but, most probably, being convinced to do as your username says-go Chuckit on the Mac and move over to the Winte…

If you want fullscreen just resize the window it's really easy! In my opinion fullscreen just sucks in most apps. I always drag and drop stuff from one app to another, with fullscr…

i use fullscreen with photoshop, indesign, reason, logic, etc. i use "transparent dock" (check versiontracker), and DE-selected "float dock on top". (and of course, i have a trans…

I have a simple Applescript that I have set to a keyboard shortcut with Spark. I hit two keys and the window/app I have selected fills my screen. It's not that hard, but I'm going …

This is old, but it still works great and I use it if I want to focus on the forefront window: FocusLayer

The fact mac apps dont fight to take over the entire screen is exactly why I love the platform, its incredibly counter intuitive

Sounds to me as if you're looking for a purist solution on ideological rather than practical grounds. One way of cleaning things up might be using MenuShade to hide the menu bar, h…

Nope! The menubar is not the problem. I'm okay with the menubar. My need is to isolate the entire remainder of the screen such that the active application has COMPLETE display o…
