Memory stick not empty after deleting files

I have a memory stick in my digital camera and after deleting the files on it, the card didn’t seem to be empty. There were no pictures on it, but I couldn’t shoot my usual 202 images anymore either. And being used to that number for a while now, it’s kind of hard to settle for 70-something.

So … I started looking …

Turns out, that unlike Windows where when you delete files from an external device it most of the time isn’t sent to you trash, in OSX it always ends up there.

Meaning all I had to do to get all of my 202 “spaces” back, was take a picture so there was at least one on the memory stick. Then connect it to my laptop, delete that picture from the memory card and right after empty my trash. And after both deleting and emptying unmount the digital camera.

Et vwalla …

Installing Diablo 2 on an intel Mac

When I tried installing Diablo 2 and the expansion pack on my intel Mac, it kept telling me “You cannot open the application Diablo II Installer because it is not supported on this system”.

After doing some research, I found out that this is b/c the older CD’s do not include an OSX installer, they are OS9 which isn’t supported on intel Macs. Luckely, there’s a workaround for this:
On the Blizzard site you can download the OSX Native Installer (which also includes the latest patches) and then use this to install Diablo II as well as the Lord of Destuction add on (if you have it).

Good luck and see you on the other side …
