The HP of that size beat both of them and the Sony LCD's in several tests both on Macs and windows. When you buy Apple you are paying for the name. I have found very few WIN people using Apple monitors, I am not sure if there would be issues with DVI connections and such on the KVM switch.

Use Konfabulator and you will have thousands of widgets on their web site. Konfabulator widgets do not require special keys to show up, they exist on the desktop where you put them. Yes, it is stable in Tiger.

One OS on one partition, one on the other would not be bad, there is no real issue with using an external as your main drive.

It is probably a bad directory, DiskWarrior should be just fine but you will want to be sure that it is using the latest version from their web site. DiskWarrior runs from it's CD and the CD can boot up most Macs. It requires very littel space to rebuild directories, it is good medicine.

Are you using the latest ROM in your machine?

USB ports are warranty items, either way Apple will take care of it. I am not an engineer but I do believe that the keyboard and track pad are linked to USB, they do not show up on a system profile but I do believe that they are all connected. Get a warranty repair, if it has been less than a...

Well that is a tough one...Before you do anything, back up the files you need, there are no promises that Panther will run fine on the blue and white with a third party processor. Panther does not include a bootable version of OS9. You will need to install the apps into classic after the...

Firewire networking is also a great way to play games and what not. You can set up Firewire networking in the Network Preferences under Network Port Configurations. If I need to move a lot of stuff fast I use Firewire.

The first one is the memory that is user accessible PC2700 200-pin SO-DIMM There is a little application out there that can help with this and other issues called MacTracker, it has the system info on every Apple product. The real challenge is those tiny screws in the base of the iMac, if...

In OSX it is in the Speech preference window (system preferences), you will also find a window for Universal Acess, be sure that everything is set ok there. In OS9, you will find it in the control panels

I am not aware of any map making software specific to the Mac os. I often have my students prctice their skills by taking maps from phone books and tracing them. The software that we use for that is Illustrator and FreeHand, either will work fine, this is NOT a task for PhotoShop. Thes two...

PageMaker 7.0.1 works fine with Tiger in classic mode on my powerbook. What you need to understand is that a Mac is not a Mac is not a Mac. Meaning that this PowerBook operates differently than a mini, just as both do operate the same way as an iMac. So what may work on my machine may not work...

I would clean out some Cache files in the Library and see if that does it. The next step is DiskWarrior to check the health of the director, DiskUtilities will not check the system as well as DiskWarrior. There is a new version for Tiger.

I am not quite sure anyone would need 2000 fonts but I can say that 10.2 of Suitcase X1 is working fine on my Powerbook 17. How many different sets are you tryin g to create? Hold old are the fonts? Age may not be a huge issue but it will be more and more of an issue with fonts, I do know that...

Konfabulator, which already has a widget is far superior to dashboard. It is a shame that apple did not work with those folks to develope a better widget system for OS Tiger, I am back to my Konfabulator and my widget for OSX.com.
