I've always known Finder was just another application running on OS X but had wondered why it didn't have a quit/exit menu item. You may need to restart Finder, due to a problem, or you may just want the memory for some other process.

Here's how to do it:

1. Open terminal
2. Type defaults write com.apple.finder QuitMenuItem -bool yes
3. Hit return and then close Terminal
4. Goto the Force Quit menu and relaunch Finder
5. Now you have a Quit Finder menu item - just like other apps.

Enjoy!

After a few months of searching, we found a lovely house in the Brecon Beacons National Park. It's a fantastic place, in a need of a little work but nothing too major. No idea when we'll get the keys, before the start of the summer with any luck.

If any of our friends fancy a weekend helping to get the place together, let us know

Some good friends of ours are getting married on the 9th Aug 2008 - we just discovered - so we've changed the wedding date to the 2nd Aug 2008 - the website has been updated.

We all managed to get tickets, what a relief!!!

Here comes the best Summer yet…..and we can't wait.
