Spelling?
Authored by: Wintermute on Fri, Dec 16 2005 at 5:17AM PST
Since OS X still dosen't have a built in Norwegian dictionary I have to use the Spelling prefpane to add additional dictionaries.

No one uses FruitMenu?
Authored by: pete on Fri, Dec 16 2005 at 9:32AM PST

I have used FruitMenu from the first day I saw that - way back in 10.1 days.

I like to adjust my Apple menu to how I want the Apple menu. I also like having logout, restart, shutdown happen without extra key presses or mouse clicks. If I want to log out - I don't want to have to click a box asking me if that's what I really wanted - or press a modifier key.

Being able to re-arrange, add or take out items is great.

I have 7 extra prefpanes, although 4 are rarely used. I should get rid of them sometime.

Typing command-shift-q return to logout is fast enough for me.
