Change Your OS X System Sounds
Posted July 13th, 2007 by ElliottAnother quick tip for you Appletosh users: Change Your Default OS X Sounds
It's easy:
- Go to your Home folder (usually your name)
- Go to the Library folder, then find the folder labeled Sounds.
- Drop in .AIF files.
- Next time you're asked by a program like Mail or iCal to select a sound for something, the list should be longer with your new sounds included in it.
Enjoy
Make Your Email Sort Itself
Posted July 2nd, 2007 by ElliottIf you're like me at all, you probably get a lot of email. And getting a lot of email requires a lot of sorting through the important stuff and getting to the other stuff when you have time. And if your Mom is anything like mine, you might end up getting a lot of forwarded jokes... usually which don't require immediate attention :-)
