MacBook Caps Lock

Faulty by design.
Full speed typing is not supported on the MacBook caps lock key. You have to hold it down longer than other keys, thus reducing overall typing speed.

Is there any way to fix this?

Snow Leopard

First issue is with MacFusion – it fails to mount (though the command line sshfs-static-leopard binary continued to work)

Fortunately there’s an easy fix.

iGetter interferes with Safari in 64 bit mode, preventing some binary files from downloading properly
e.g., DMG files which would previously download and open automatically now merely open a black screen, appear to wait for a while presumably downloading the byte stream into a temporary location, then fail to do anything else and does not show the location of the downloaded data.

ControllerMate Helper was not running in the background, so my DasKeyboard mappings were only working when I had the CM main program running. An upgrade fixes the problem.

Stacks are pretty, but they don’t support regular Finder operations like right clicking.
