be if you know how to hack in the the OS. I would say just don't use
it. It would be like turning off contextual menus or drop down menus. I'm
not sure why you would want to, but to each his own.
I believe that part of the concept is, that when you switch spaces, what
ever space your on, the system is optimized for that software. It frees
up resources for better performance. Not that a Mac needs better performance...hee

You mean the same cube spin transition OSX uses when you switch users?
It's nice eye candy for sure. But the basic multiple desktop feature has
been around in other operating systems for decades - various flavors of
UNIX, on the Amiga, I think, and BeOS. Good stuff.
If Apple doesn't postpone again, the update should be out in a couple of
weeks.

Yeah it was something like that. No dispute about who had it first. I was
just saying that according to an article it's been under the hood for awhile.
They also talked about third parties developing different ways to use the
technology. To my knowledge, there has been software that can essentially
do this for a long time. I think there are links on Doug W.'s FAQ page for
third party software???

Yep. I've seen several 3rd party hacks to add this to OSX, but haven't
been willing to risk any problems with system stability using them. I've
been waiting for the integrated version from Apple. Shouldn't be long now...

i've never used a magma so i'm not familiar with their hookup
protocol.
can you put a meter on the power feeds to see if their output is
correct?
