CAn >>> anyone telll me what it's called? Just in case you are in the mood for yet another suggestion - StoryMill (which is part of the current MacUpdate bundle) has a clutter-free writing mode that I quite like - it takes over the whole screen like WriteRoom but it does white text on a blue background, bringing back wonderful nostalgic images of the old days of WordPerfect. Yes, I really did like WordPerfect. StoryMill, incidentally, is a really nice product if writing is your thing. It's aimed at fiction writers but I find it good for technical writing too.

I am debating about this with myself right now. Technically, Devonthink sort of does all this, although not the cork boards that scrivener does, and not as prettily.

And I'm not impressed by the retro green-on-black either; even in the days of green mono moitors and (Aaaah!) Protext, I used to run black text on a necessarily green page. I always found that more restful. TextEdit at full screen does it all, except maybe the autosave, but that's just a Cmd-S from time to time...

If run TextEdit full screen, like with the green button clicked, the only other thing on screen is the top menu bar and my small Dock on the right- which I could banish if I wanted to. It's just a huge blank sheet, nothing but me, the text and absolutely minimal tools to enable me to control fonts etc. I agree that it lacks the purity/austerity of WriteRoom, but not by much.

Pulling out the network cable or disabling Airport works pretty well, and you don't have to reboot to get it back. Also what's wrong with "Hide other appls" if you only want to work with 1 appl?

I think the point is that you can re-enable those at will - this enforces the disconnected state a little more, thus helping people with less willpower. > Also what's wrong with "Hide other appls" if you only want to work > with 1 appl?

There is, of course, an easier way - create a second user and populate the Dock for that user with only the apps you need for productivity.

I know you'd feel a bit iffy about it on your current Mac but I suspect it's just issuing a ifconfig [interface] down command, starting a background timer, then issuing the 'up' command.
