Change your toolbar the easy way
by Larry Roth on Jul.27, 2006, under Apple
Fintan Darragh posted a tip for a quick way to change the toolbar’s icons and text.
From the article:[1]
Secondly, and this is certainly a hidden feature within Mac OS X, when you Command-click on the top-right-hand button which appears in windows, you can set the toolbar’s icons and text to different sizes and combinations.
Well, he certainly is right about it being a hidden feature—I don’t think I would have stumbled across this functionality.

Put your mac to sleep fast
by Larry Roth on Jul.05, 2006, under Apple
I found this tip: (Two seconds to sleep) on the Apple site. As my new MacBook Pro doesn’t go to sleep when I shut the cover, it is very helpful. Here is the tip:
Want the fastest way to put your Mac right into a deep, sleepy-bear hibernation-like sleep (no whirling fan, no dialogs, no sound — nuthin’ — just fast, glorious sleep). Just press Command-Option and then hold the Eject button for about 2 seconds and Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. It doesn’t get much faster than that.[1]
