Does someone now the exact hard disk models Apple is currently using in the 2.8 iMac? So I can check the specs of the disks?

Dear All, I am thinking of ordering one of the new 24" iMac 2.8 GHz machines. However I find it difficult to choose which hard disk to order. I prefer not to use external hard disks, but would like to have as much space as possible. I also very much like a quiet machine. Does anyone...

Yes, it seems to work that way. Thus, clicking on 'New Posts' does NOT get the new posts since the previous time you cliced 'New Posts'. That is what I understood from your earlier response, and which would make perfect sense. And, if I remember correctly, that was also the way it used to be...

When I use 'New Posts' I find a couple of pages of new posts. Next, I click on New Posts AGAIN and I get the same list! Thus, not new since the previous time I clicked it, then it whould show no or only a few posts ... So, are you sure it works that way? Or did I misunderstand your post?

Thanks for the hint, so I can just skip the 'Mark Forums Read' command. I agree that a simpler and more logical behaviour (than the timeout) would be that 'New Posts' gives you the new posts since the previous time you clicked 'New Posts'. Indeed, as it used to be ...

For some time I have enjoyed reading many of the posts on this board. Typically I scan all new messages once a day. To do this, I go to the forums, click 'New Posts' and start reading. When I am done, I use the 'Mark Forums Read' SUBMENU from 'Quick Links'. It works perfectly. These are...

The X11-way of creating new terminals is just to start additional terminal programs. One of the possible terminal programs, which is always available with any X11 implementation, is xterm. Thus, to start type the following at the command line: xterm & You'll get a new terminal window...

The clock of my computer is running way too fast. Opening the date and time preference panel immediatly synchronizes it. In the pref panel "Set Date&Time automatically" is turned on. A day later the clock was again way off (about 10 minutes a day), opening the Date&Time pref panel again...

In practice this means that I'll probably need to move my pictures and music folder to some other location. To prevent backup problems. I'm a little surprised, I guess you could already do this with an encrypted disk image in Jaguar. Thanks for the info!

If you use FileVault to encrypt your home directory, are the files encrypted individually or will there be some kind of encrypted disk containing all files? Imagine I make a change to a document in my home directory. If I would now make a backup, where only changed files are backed up will...

I've been using the adapter since I have the machine without problems. I try to get along without using it, but since I use it to sync my Palm it is difficult to get a long time without using it. The last few panics (about one a week, machine always on), were within 12 hours after using the...

Ah, another mistake, read too many rumors! I am running 10.2.6.

Oops, I forgot to mention: my machine is a 800 Mhz imac 17"

Since using system 10.2.7 I am experiencing kernel panics now and then (about one a week). They do not seem related to anything specific, in the panic.log the Keyspan software shows up (for my Keyspan USB-serial adapter). Is this a known problem, or am I looking in the wrong place? Anyone...

Thanks for the info, With QT pro, can you direct the DV stream directly to the firewire port, or do you have to save it in DV format first?
