comment What are Mac OS replacements for Visio?
Visio is / was a very commonly-used tool on Windows and in the relevant industry. I don't believe that anyone who didn't already know what it was would be able to offer an answer. Anyhow, isn't this now a 'shopping' question that should be closed?

comment Is there a Mac OS X Command Line application that can convert text encodings from one type to another? (Specifically to convert Mac OS Roman to utf8)
No command-line utility will do that. You might get some help from ICU.

Well, Eclipse is in Java/SWT, and I'd guess that someone got to that.

I've done it in both orders. I can't see any difference in the frequency of failure.

Oh? It's not working for me. I shared the burner on my macbookpro, and idvd on the mini is oblivious.

comment Slideshow display in Aperture
Since it's still throbbing 'processing,' I'm going to wait (perhaps until tomorrow) to see if this is a temporary phenomenon. If so, I'll delete this. If not, I'll post a capture.

comment How do I make an iMovie 11 project into a DVD without iDVD?
@Nat e.g. 'the instant option' which goes directly from camera to DVD. It should just be engaging with what's arriving from iMovie, and instead it's discussing with me whether i want to do something else entirely.
