I have been a long-time PC (l)user. I was led astray in my childhood by
well-meaning people wo convinced me that Macintosh computers were substandard
systems. I have, however, recently learned the error of my ways. I purchased a
nice shiny new 17" PowerBook with a SuperDrive for my use at college this past
Spring. It has been wonderful. It has AirportExtreme (802.11g) built in, and I
did not even have to configure ANYTHING to get it working with the school's
wireless access points. (It was much different for several Windoze users I
knew.) The same was true with my new DSL connection, just plug and go. However,
I have one C%tiny problem... I cannot get extended ASCII characters to
display correctly. I have a terminal emulator that will display that correct
font, but it make it proportionaly space, so it looks wierder than collored
question marks in Terminal. I know that the Mac user base is small, but if
Angus is watching this, I believe that someting simmilar to his fix for Linux
should work, since OS X is essentialy running BSD wiwth a happy-Mac interface
on top of all that power.
