First, Cmd+space i enter, a enter saves 6 key strokes. Second, why would you open a new terminal window, then immediately open a new terminal window? Third, I accounted for this in my post. Finally, what kind of response is this? Are you posting a how-to? Are you making a counter point? Are you just being snarky?

I stay on OS X 10.6 because later versions drop support for PowerPC (Rosetta) applications. Many programs - abandoned programs and games - do not have Intel versions. And some games have Intel versions, but the Intel version costs money or is incompatible with previous saved games. I use these old programs rarely, but like to have the option of opening their files or playing those games. Such applications include Air…

And the visuals produced by Fountain Music, unlike every other visualizer I’ve seen, actually reflect the audio very well. It’s not just a mesmerizing screensaver that is theoretically tied to the audio somehow – you can clearly hear a connection between each note playing and each fountain of particles shooting up. The fact that the visuals reflect the music (most of the time) can put me more emotionally into the track, because I’m getting complementary signals through my eyes and ears.
Also, there is rarely such a thing as “substitute games”. That’s what makes games different from other programs – well-made games, even ones in the same genre, have their own unique, irreplaceable features. They are like books and movies in that regard. That’s why emulators for consoles like the SNES and the Dreamcast are still around – people don’t want to give up their favorite old games.
