Nifty New Stuff for Old Macs

I’ve been slowly working through our “family pack” updates to Leopard this week and realized a couple things that I hadn’t heard anybody mention yet

  1. Front Row is now part of Leopard, so even my antiques have it. No remote, of course, but Apple-ESC brings up Front Row
  2. My wife’s old iBook now has the ability to do a “secondary” click using the two fingers on the trackpad. It’s not turned on by default, maybe no one else has noticed it.
  3. Photo booth works on older Macs now, too. (At least it works on my Dual 1.33 PowerMac G4) (iSight required, of course.) Processing is really slow if you are using video effects, though.
  4. Video effects don’t show up in iChat, at least not on our G4s
