How to start Windows 95 on a Mac

Have you ever wanted to run Windows 95 on your brand new modern Mac? Well, now your wish will come true thanks to a new project that allows you to run Windows 95 in MacOS as a program. Yes, all Windows 95 really does fit into a regular program.

Believe it or not, Windows 95 works fine, at least on a MacBook Pro. If you want to plunge into nostalgia and play around with an operating system that is almost 20 years old, with all its legendary programs (Windows Explorer, MSDOS, Windows Paint, Notepad, Minesweeper, Internet Explorer), it's very easy.

How to start Windows 95 on a Mac

1. Go to this page Github and download the program for Mac (the file is called windows95-1-macos.zip).
2. Unzip the file "windows95.zip" as usual.
3. Run "windows95.app" as a normal program to immediately start Windows 95.

The archive weighs about 135MB, and the entire Windows 95 application is only 450MB.

When you run the program, use the Escape key to switch the mouse and keyboard between the program and the main interface. The program has full support for the keyboard, but there is no access to the Internet.

Obviously, you can use the program just for fun. If you want to run Windows on a Mac for serious reasons, it's better to use a virtual machine through programs like VirtualBox, VMware or Parallels. They allow running Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, XP, ME, 7, 8 and Windows 10. For full access you can use Boot Camp . And if you just want to play, this program is perfect.

The only thing the program lacks is the legendary sound of launching Windows 95 ...

How to change the AutoCorrect settings in Word on a Mac

AutoCorrect is one of the functions that either adore or hate. It is in most messengers. It can be annoying by replacing the text you entered with something incomprehensible, and you notice it only after sending the message.

In Word, AutoCorrect is very useful. It can save you from errors, help you enter text faster and will automatically format the document while you type the text. Below, we'll show you how to set up AutoCorrect.

How to open AutoCorrect settings

1) Run Word on your Mac.

2) Select Word from the menu.

3) Select Options .

4) Click Spelling on the pop-up window.

AutoCorrect - the first tab in the window with the settings. With the checkmark near the very first line, you can turn the function on and off. You can also configure other options.

AutoCorrect Replicas

You can enable or disable the AutoCorrect button that is displayed in the document. Also, you can automatically correct two uppercase letters at the beginning of a word, put a large letter at the beginning of sentences, write the names of days with a capital letter and make the first letters of cells in the tables in capital letters.

Each of these options is very convenient, especially the correction of the two upper-case letters at the beginning of the word. For example, if you write "Hello", AutoCorrect will correct the words to "Hello".

Exceptions

Below is the Replace As section . You can click the Exceptions button to configure options and add your options. The section Capital Letter contains abbreviations, which should be written with a small letter. For example: "etc.", "etc.", "including" and others.

Two other sections you can customize yourself. For example, if the program writes an abbreviation, which you often use, with a capital letter, you can add it to the exceptions.

Substitutions

Returning to the main settings window, you will see a list of replacements at the very bottom. This is very convenient - there are listed characters and emoticons, which you often use. In addition, there are fixes like "kka" on "how", etc.

You can delete replacements and add new ones, as well as edit replacements.

AutoFormat when typing

On this tab you can enable or disable options.

Here are the substitutions that are used when typing. For example, if you have automatic numbering of lists, then if you enter the number "1" and press Enter , the next line will begin with the number "2".

You can also customize the formatting of quotes and everything else. Just check the box next to the options you want.

AutoCorrect can be very useful in some situations. With it, you can type the text in Microsoft Word as quickly as possible.

How to clear the "Quick View" cache in Mac OS

Quick Look is a useful feature of the Mac OS that allows you to select a file in the file system and get its quick preview, be it the Finder, the "open" or "save" command, etc. The function makes using the Mac file system more convenient, viewing may stop working properly. Sometimes previews are displayed empty or not updated. The most common problem is in the cache. To solve a problem it is easy - for this purpose it is just necessary to clear a cache of fast viewing.

Clearing the quick scan cache is also recommended for security reasons, but without good reasons it is better not to do it at all.

How to Clear a  Quick Browser Cache

1. Open Terminal from the Utilities folder.
2. Type the following command:

   qlmanage -r cache

3. Press Return (Enter) to clear the Quick Look cache.

You will see the following result if you did everything right:

$ qlmanage -r cache
qlmanage: call reset on cache

The size of the Quick Look cache depends on what type of Mac you have, what files are stored on the device, how often you use Quick View, etc. You can disable the quick scan cache with the command "qlmanage -r disable cache", but we strongly do not recommend doing this.

Where in the Mac OS is the Quick Look cache

The quick cache is located at the following address:

$ TMPDIR /../ C / com.apple.QuickLook.thumbnailcache /

Open the folder in the Finder using this program:

open $ TMPDIR /../ C / com.apple.QuickLook.thumbnailcache /

This will open the "com.apple.QuickLook.thumbnailcache" folder in a new Finder window:

Moreover, $ TMPDIR is the main folder with temporary files on the Mac. If you want to find all folders with temporary files.

Remember that editing or deleting files in these folders is not recommended, as this can lead to system problems. If you want to clear temporary files, just restart the computer.

In the database Apple found 10 new models iPad and Mac

This year, in autumn, Apple should update its line of Mac laptops and tablets iPad Pro, and now we have access to evidence that the information is reliable.

The French site of Consomac has information that five new iPad models and five new Mac models were registered in the company's data base.

All technology companies that sell their devices in Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan must register their devices for obtaining permits.

Here are the names of the models:

• New Mac models : A1931, A1932, A1988, A1989 and A1990.
• New models of the iPad: A1876, A2013, A1934, A1979 and A2014.

According to the data, on all the above mentioned iPad will be installed iOS 11, and on laptops Mac - macOS High Sierra. It's strange, considering that Apple usually releases updates to its lines in the fall, when the final versions of iOS 12 and macOS Mojave should be released.

Most likely, Apple will update the information in the database, and new versions of operating systems will be installed on new models. Although it is likely that new models will be released this summer until September.

According to rumors, there will be several new MacBook Pro models, some of which will be cheaper than the current ones. In addition, there should be an updated 12-inch MacBook and a 13-inch laptop with a Retina screen.

As for tablets, we expect an updated line of iPad Pro with Face ID technology and TrueDepth camera, as well as a frameless design without the Home button, etc.
