Why doesn't Kazaa do a mac compatible version for their oh so popular file sharing prog. They are cutting out half of their target audience. I've tried to ask them but they don't allow people to get in touch directly unless you are media or have a tech issue. Bastards.
What's the alternative to file sharing for osx. ??

Limewire - better by far. Kazaa likes to pop you with porn and other things. runs background crap you are unaware of.
Question to you- OSX- Making the transition soon. Is it the bomb or what?

and the new version of limewire actually runs really well and gets a TON more results from searches. a vast improvement.

OSX is the Mac Daddy. (very good.) It's the best operating system I've used, by far.
But if you like your windows only software.... like Kazaa... forget it. And emulation a la Virtual PC is no option either. It makes even OSX slow as a glacier. Also... OSX isn't too good for web development.

How so?

"OSX isn't too good for web development"
sorry but I am not sure what you mean. OSX has the built in-already installed - Apache server that is easily customizable with MySQL and PHP. Perl comes already installed. The developers bundle from apple provides a slew of applications for program and web development including those which to take advantage of OSX's Java capabilities.
I am also running OSX server and I have to say that I have never had a better equiped, easy to use server in my entire career. We've crashed three times and twice was because I coded something horribly wrong! :)

That's a nice weekend joke

I'd get a program called "acquisition". I actually like it better than kazaa. Generally you can find what you need on it, and I've always gotten faster transfer rates with it, than I've ever gotten with kazaa.

btw, OSX is great, the only prob is this. I have a 12 inch power book hooked up to a 21 inch monitor and when I change my resolution above 1024x768 it refuses to take up the whole screen. I end up with about 3 inch on all sides black, with my monitor stretched to the limit.... any suggestions?
