I've been thinking about trying that, although actually I was thinking of writing. Do you think that would be as effective? And yeah I agree with you, it's an outdated computer.. not even supported on 10.6 haha but I just can't help but feel a little slighted, I was the windows user who said...

I have a aluminum pbg4 15 inch 1.5Ghz... been nothing but trouble since day one. repairs completed on the computer (in chronological order): 1. new logic board (to solve random sleep errors) -- didnt work 2. new topcase to replace the trackpad sensor causing it to sleep randomly, like i...

So I installed NTFS-3G, mounted the drive, copied a pretty big folder over and just left the computer for an hour or so. I came back to my computer sleeping (i think due to power saver? but i dunno) When i woke it up, the drive was there on the desktop but it had a little lock icon on the...

Okay, so I can safely write my mac's files to a MSDOS formatted drive but not an NTFS drive?

Hello, I have a pbg4 running 10.5 that I would like to do a clean OS install on. I don't currently own an external HD, but I do have access to my roommate's, which is currently hooked up to a PC so im assuming its formatted in NTFS. Is there a way for me to partition the drive, to leave...

Just randomly I began to notice that most times i was pressing the trackpad button to single click, my computer was double-clicking. occasionally it would get a single click but they mostly got interpreted wrong. I started noticing it when I would click a window and it would minimize into the...

I've further noticed that the computer is simply interpreting single-click trackpad button events as a double click. ??? PS i'm using a powerbook G4 15

I haven't noticed this when using a USB mouse, but when I use my trackpad recently, and click on a non-active window, it focuses on the window I clicked on and then immediately "minimizes" it into the dock. Any ideas?

I seem to be having the same problem with my PB 15"... sometimes I can re-awaken it from sleep, sometimes I have to re-awaken it 5 times, sometimes it will just not wake up at all and I have to disconnect the battery and power supply and restart it.. only for it to start all over again. To...

I find that my Mac randomly decides to change the balance in the sound output... Is there some sort of key combination that I could be pressing accidentally that adjusts this?

Why is a Macintosh not a Macintosh anymore because it has an Intel chip? What do you call a Macintosh with a Motorola processor, then?

It's supposed to be used as a roman numeral...but it's pretty retarded to say "Mac OS Ten Ten Point Four." hence "Mac OS Ten Tiger"

Right clicking apps in the Dock and clicking Quit is just so much nicer than doing File>Quit or Apple+Q. On the other hand, most of the stuff that can be done with a right click should be able to be done by a keyboard shortcut, which some would argue is better because then your hands don't...

Right...I guess I just don't understand why people need their own server for things..unless you're like running a business or something.. I don't get it.. mail server? mail.comcast.net web server? for what? file server? my hard drive??

Would someone mind explaining to me the point of the Performa line? .. Being that they all seem to be the same as another mac series (Power Macintosh)? And secondly, how/what exactly do you use a computer as your "server"? What is it serving?
