Xosx86 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 why don't people use the wiki? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/93154-sub-300-os-x-leopard-suggestions-criticism-please/#findComment-664396 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabe_ Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 why don't people use the wiki? I dunno. I wish I could figure it out. I've been registered here for about a week, and I would say that about half of my posts have been posting links to the wiki... Here it is again: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/93154-sub-300-os-x-leopard-suggestions-criticism-please/#findComment-664407 Share on other sites More sharing options...
da808fokai Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 Apparently I missed something... I do a LOT of reading before posting, but missed this one. Sorry guys, I will look at the "wiki" Thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/93154-sub-300-os-x-leopard-suggestions-criticism-please/#findComment-664412 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mschilling Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 You could have a "read this before posting" stickie at the top explaining things to newcomers. I've seen that on other sites.
