![]() ![]() Funny enough, the common denominator is reverse-engineered Windows network sharing. Update: The MAC has pre-configured SAMBA filesharing - nicer than out-of-the-box Linux, actually. Since this is a 56mg download and my provider is currently penalizing me at their end of their month, I'm going out to do my chores now, and come back to finish this (hopefully.) ![]() (With that download manager, you can restart paused/incomplete downloads.)Īgain, just making it so I can use the tools I'm familiar with to get to work on this platform. Turns out Safari doesn't handle resuming downloads simply (takes a command line trick.) So I restarted that Firefox download and will install "downthemall" plug-in to make this happen. Since we are straining my "poor" overworked Internet provider, we'll let that run and get some sleep tonight.Īfter coffee and breakfast: Well, the download didn't. Next, in order to publish on iTunes, you have to have an Apple ID, which is fairly easy to set up, and then download iTunes Producer. So if a person has that production flow in Windows or Linux, they can do it on the MAC, too. Firefox has always been my browser of choice (IE has always had security issues, and Chromium is fine, but not the same.) ![]() The idea here is that a non-MAC user should be able to shift platforms (like how I ditched Windows for Linux.) I'd worked out a production flow which had creation in LibreOffice, and side-checking with Sigil, meta-data stored in Calibre. But yes, MAC versions are available for all of these, and the Writer2Epub plug-in works as well.(See below for links and download sizes.) I've got nothing against Safari, it's just that I'm not used to it. I'm in the middle of downloading programs like LibreOffice, Firefox, Calibre, Sigil to see if this is all available. I last used one of the old PowerMACs (15+ years ago) so the familiar startup sound took me back to younger days.Īs I suspected, everything I've needed to publish on Windows or Linux are available for MAC. (Next quarter's royalty payments should give me a Bluetooth Apple keyboard, mouse, and maybe the extra RAM - this quarter's bought this MAC.) It's been some years, but the clunky stuff we use in the non-Apple world looks shoddy compared to its elegant design. I connected it up to an existing monitor, plugged in an un-elegant leftover USB keyboard and mouse, and followed their instructions.
