While most of this is true, your bootloader isn't going to be either LILO or GRUB... For an Old World PPC machine you'll use BootX. For a New World machine, use YaBoot :cool: .

I used the Aeron at my former job. One negative thing I noticed was that; if you carry your wallet in your back pocket (as I, and some of my coworkers do), the hard plastic area around the seat frame of the Aeron would cause a wear mark on our pants. I'm built on the heavy side; but many of my...

Now is probably a good time to buy. Apple won't upgrade the 17" until at least the end of the year, if then. I do agree that most of us will have to pay some amount for Panther, once it's released.

You didn't mention what Mac you're trying this on, but you may want to check with Palm to see if a USB cradle/cable is available for your PDA. I suspect this may have something to do with your problem.

I did a search of the forums for this and didn't find anything... I took the plunge and bought the EyeTV module from El Gato Software. Here's how it's going so far: * It's a very simple package, with easy installation and setup. The software update from El Gato was painless also. * I've...

Ok, thanks! This was the info I was looking for. :)

I'm running MacOS X, almost exclusively now. I have a cable internet connection and was wondering; what is the safest state to leave my Mac in when I'm not using it (overnight, while at work...)? I've noticed that the machine doesn't really go to sleep when I logoff, but I wonder if it's just...

AR = Arkansas, AZ = Arizona ;). I'll send you a PM after I've researched this a bit. Thanks.

I'd be interested in upgrading from my 2001 iBook (500MHz, 128MB, 10GB, combo drive) in a few weeks from now. I really wouldn't want to run MacOS X on anything slower than a 500MHz G3; but I'd mainly be concerned about shipping to your location (once we agree on money over and above the...

Visor Edge (silver) 8MB memory monochrome display w/backlight Rechargable Sold with the following modules: *Magellan GPS *MemPlug (uses SmartMedia cards; includes 2 extra mem cards, movie/picture viewer) *Pedometer (counts your steps, keeps daily record) *Thumb keyboard Asking $200...

I really like the Palm m515. Maybe I could sell off my Visor Edge, with all the modules and pick up a m515 :). Palm does have better build quality than Handspring IMHO. Palm's expansion cards are less expensive too; hmmm...

It finally does a full backup of the databases from my Visor Edge (something none of the betas did). It does not install the 4.0 OS on the Visor though... gotta wait for Handspring to get their act together for that to happen, I guess :rolleyes: .

A strange note about the MP3's in iTunes... My iBook (bought last fall) came with 121 preloaded titles (not all of which are music). My new iMac only came preloaded with less than 20 music titles:confused: . True, it's easy enough to load the other titles up to the iMac, but not if I'd...

Nope; there is no switch on the iSub at all, so you'd have to unplug it from the USB port if you don't want to use it with headphones. Seems a shame for a $60 sub-woofer, but that's the way it is for now. I only paid about $75 for my Monsoon flat panel speakers, with a sub-woofer and the s/w has...
