No, I haven't. I've heard some people talk about it but I've never used it.

Acorn is pixel-based, though, so you can't really compare it to Illustrator.

[pscates2.0]

Yeah, what little I've heard I thought it was more of a Pixelmator. But I thought maybe a new version was released that does everything (pixels and vectors).

Was it Intaglio, bassplayer?

Dammit, then it was the other program I was looking at at the same time I saw the Acorn program. Argh, now I have to try and find it again.

[chucker]

DrawIt, maybe? Or Lineform?

[bassplayinMacFiend]

Nope, it was Sketch, by Bohemian Coding --> http://www.bohemiancoding.com/sketch .

[edit]
DrawIt was also by Bohemian Coding, but it's been discontinued.

Why hasn't anyone mentioned this neat feature in Safari? (This may be a notebook specific gesture) pinch with a thumb and finger and the tabs in a window break out.

I have moved one of our computers - my MacBook Pro - onto Mountain Lion a couple of weeks ago and it has not been a happy experience. Everything is now sluggish, from opening applications to working in them. For the first time in years in OS X, I am getting regular spinning beach balls not leading to crashes, but just because the computer needs to take its time with tasks that were instantaneous in Lion. Safari regularly hangs on websites, or downloads them at a snail's pace - and it is not our internet connection that is at fault, because the same website on another computer or device in our system (running Lion or iOS) opens immediately whenever I test both side-by-side.

My MBP is not new, but it theoretically is fast enough and has enough RAM to run Mountain Lion well and I have seen reports of others having the same setup as mine having performance improvements in moving from Lion to Mountain Lion, rather than the other way around.

I did a complete 'clean' of the system using Onyx, and that seemed to help somewhat, but not completely. I have been reading a few Apple help forums, and it seems that I am not alone in having these problems: they seem to be occurring with a small but significant subset of users. I have not yet undertaken some of the more involved solutions that advised in the forums that have worked for some users. These include i) boot from safe mode and undertaking some repairs from there, together with other resets 2) various option changes, such as disabling iCloud, Java, and other stuff that is not absolutely needed 3) a complete reinstall and/or 4) various other weird stuff. I guess I will have to spend some time checking those out, although it is time I don't really have right now.

I know that this sort of thing can happen when doing a system upgrade, and that it can be fixed. That said, I have been doing OS X system updates for years on various computers and this is the first time it has happened to me. Annoyed.

[Chinney]

A reinstall of ML seemed to have vastly improved matters, if not fixed things altogether. I tried a simple reinstall first - not an erase install - and that seemed to have been sufficient to do the trick. It still seems a bit slower than Lion was, but that might just be my imagination.

[Yontsey]

Is there a way to do a clean install and then go back through Time Machine and pull out things like Mail set ups, iTunes, keychain, ect.

[PB PM]

Yes you can do a fresh install and then use migration assistant (after) to being your stuff over.

[Yontsey]

I've always used that but I thought it would restore from where it was at the last backup, not let you be selective.
