Hi have a question about Application Data for programs I have deleted and do not plan to use again. Can I go into Application Date, and delete the files for these programs, or will it cause problems somewhere else?

Your help appreciated

Subject: portable GPS
i made my chase for the brand : Garmin

i am in doubt between 2 models :
the eTrex Venture
the Geko 201

i made a comparison between the 2 models which resulted in this

the price is about the same (also in local shops in my town or nearby)

advantages of the etrex :
- the etrex can run for 20 hours / the geko only for 12
- the etrex uses AA batteries / the geko uses AAA which are more difficult to obtain
- the etrex has 4 shades of grey while the geko has only black and white

advantages of the geko
- the geko stores 125 waypoints per route / the etrex only 50
- the geko is slightly smaller and half the weight of the etrex

i dont know about the importance of the other differences

i especially like the longer lifetime on the etrex ... but i dont want to give up 60% of my waypoints .. i think

does anyone has any suggestions ?

Apparently information on approximately 200,000 accounts was verifiably transferred

do not intend to notify people of the problem unless the accounts are used fraudulently. ~*~

danoschek, very interesting article. Personally, I don't care if software is called spyware, adware, maware, or any other name. If it is installed without asking me, it is BAD. It steals my system resources (hard drive space, cpu usages, memory, etc.). Further more, if I cannot remove it using the "add/remove software" applet, It is even worse.

Apple-Boss Steve Jobs told that in 2006 Macintosh Computers will use Intel Chips instead of IBM Chips. It is said, you can run the Mac-System AND Windows, but you won´t be supported by Apple. But you cannot run "normal" Computers with Apple System, so if you like to use MAC, you have to buy Apple-Hardware

reza: System.exit() terminates the whole application, i.e. all its frames and windows. If you want to close only one frame, call its own close() method.

22. June 2005, 07:45:52
Expired 
The method of "exit(int)" from "System" class is used to close the program .

In the program that i wrote there's a window that opens with "Frame" class, in this window there's a button by pushing which another window is supposed to open.

Now I have trouble making my program close the second window without closing the first one. I tried to use exit(int) but it closes the whole thing. Does anyone have any idea how I should do it?

I'd appreciate it if the solution you give is in 'system' class.

Thanks very much.
