It is in the PC too. Batch files are for those extra-lazy people who don't mind tweaking (oxymoron?)

There is no feature of Macs that is simple where the Windows Version is difficult.

How about inserting a floppy ? On Mac it will make a pleasant sound and show itself on desktop. With Windows - nothing happenes. You must click "my computer" or something.

Re: SE4 in higher resolutions + OT: floppy disks
"My computer or something"... Gee, you must be new to PC's... you're not playing SE4 on a Windows emulator are you?

Re: SE4 in higher resolutions + OT: floppy disks
Oleg, make a shortcut on the desktop to the floppy drive. You get that same effect, but minus the obviously redundant (and therefore annoying) sound. You know you just put a floppy in, why does it have to make a sound? |

Re: SE4 in higher resolutions + OT: floppy disks
I'd prefer it not make a sound--I used to have a computer with a 3.5" drive that sounded like a paper shredder in action. Occasionally, it did return the disks in usable form.  Maybe I should have removed the carcass of the first disk before trying to put the second one in...
