I just upgraded to from Tiger (10.4.10) to Leopard (10.5.5), and found the behavior of keyboard+click combinations in Mail.app to have changed, in quite an annoying manner. I used to use the following techniques in Tiger’s Mail.app to sort large volumes of mail, usually when marking as spam.
Scenario 1

I have always enjoyed the Myst universe, both games and books. I am happy that URU was created, and wish to play. I was part of the public beta in late 2006, but stopped playing when the beta expired. Now that summer will afford a little more free time, I decided to reinvestigate the [...]
My laptop started acting up again today. This time, however, we’re seeing random screen corruption which can be altered in severity by slightly tapping the case. It seems to start after the machine has been running for an hour, and reboots do not correct the problem. I begin to suspect that Nemu’s fans aren’t turning [...]
As I mentioned, the issue of machine naming became important recently. In particular, because a newcomer has decided to join us. A stately lady, her name is Kuramori.

Nemu wasn’t staying awake long enough to do much of anything recently. I know that’s her defining quality, but it was difficult to convince her to look something up when she was slumped against the card catalog. She had 20 minutes of runtime maximum.
Until this evening. 150$ of Lithium Ion 50-watt-hour go juice later, she’s [...]
I’ve stated at numerous intervals that I’ll be buying new computer eventually. More specifically, as soon as Reki (Athlon900 desktop) stops working. Reki’s still working.
Now, following the plotline of Haibane, Washi (the Communicator) tells Reki that Nemu is more worried about seeing Reki leave than about leaving herself. It is certain that Nemu has already [...]
Goal is to install OS 10.4 Tiger from DVD on an older apple laptop that lacks a dvd drive. We don’t have an external firewire DVD enclosure. However, all macs with firewire can emulate an external harddrive enclosure, so we’ll install to that. We just need someone else’s dvd-equipped macmini to do the install.
Firstly, connect [...]
I’ve always wanted an Apple laptop, since days of yore. Their stylish presence and attention to minute detail commanded my attention. It was lust at first sight, in the department store window. Me in my worn jeans, she in her warm metalic chassis and expensive pricetag.
At long last, I’ve gotten an iBook of my own. [...]
