okay so all of my friends have mac laptops and whenever they have like, ichat and two safari windows open they move their cursor to a corner in the screen and it'll separate into little parts so you can choose which window you want to go to. instead of minimizing and opening. but mine doesnt do this. what setting do i change to have it do this? i have leopard if that makes a difference in anything.

  1. the guy above me is right.

    you have a Mac? lucky. i really need one. im thinking about the MacMini so i can develop applications for iPhone using the iPhone SDK. iChat also looks interesting. as well as MobileMe, iCal and iPhoto


  2. what?

  3. They're using a function called expose. There are keys on your keyboard that do the same thing. Its either f9 on older computers or f3 on newer ones. If you want to make it so that it does that when you move your mouse to a corner of the screen, go to system preferences, desktop and screensavers, screensaver, and hot corners. There you can change what happens when you put your mouse in each other the corners. This gets annoying after a while because sometimes you might accidently put your mouse in a corner or something. Its better just to use the f3/f9 keys.
