Minima (Feneric) Mac OS

Mac os versions

One way Mac OS X differs from Windows is that when you close the last window, the app itself stays open. If you look at the Dock, you will still see a small dot underneath the app icon to indicate.

  • Many people overuse the minimize button to get applications and windows out of the way. In most cases, it is more efficient to use.
  • Most of my day-to-day work involves a combination of planning / organizing the work of others and direct CGI / Zope programming in Python and HTML (including integrating the various components of the system like Zope, PostgreSQL, Apache, etc. On the various platforms we use including Solaris, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and Mac OS X).
  • Gutenprint on Mac OS X would not be possible without CUPS, the open-source print spooler built-in for Mac OS X starting with version 10.2 (Jaguar). Gutenprint is strictly a printer support package. For multi-function devices, it supports only the printer function. The last release that will work under Mac OS X 10.2.x (Jaguar) is 5.0.2.

This is the final post on Minimal Mac. This project contains what I believe in when it comes to a mindful and intentional approach to technology. After nearly 2,500 posts, I have nothing more to add to what has already been said. As I wrote in my book enough, saying no is actually saying yes to other things. It’s time to say “no” to this project so that I can say “yes” to others (or, in some cases, fully commit to agreements already made).

For those who have read and enjoyed this site at any time over the nearly six year span, I thank you and hope it has truly helped you in a meaningful way.

For those new to the site or coming across it the first time, I have compiled the best posts and quotes of the last six years into a book called, Minimal Mac: What We Believe In. The eBook has long been available for purchase. But, I also now offer a beautiful print edition for those that would like a more physical reminder of what we believe in.

I also am making the t-shirt available for a limited time once again for those that may want one as a souvenir.

In closing, this has been really fun and fulfilling and I am deeply grateful to each and every one of you. In general, most of us are bad at saying goodbye. I’m really bad at it. Therefore, it is best to just get over the fear and come out and say it.

Goodbye.
