    Dockingstation for 15'' alubook

    Wow that looks just scarey to me, what happenes when you crank on that lever and something isn't lined up just right? There go you're ports or the dock connectors. No thanks not for me, not a big deal anyway with a Bluetooth mouse and Airpot extreme. The only thing I usually need to plug in is a...

    iTunes - Pepsi is a FARCE, a LIE, and a SHAME

    Central PA here, I've redeemed about twenty so far. By the way if you tilt a 20oz bottle just right you can look up through the side plastic and see if you have a winner before you buy it. Just don't make it too obvious what you're doing. :D

    .bmp pictures not displaying in browsers

    I installed Mozilla and it displays BMPs in web pages no problem using the same helper QuickTime Plugin.plugin picture viewer. I reported the bug. It is a bug, why can Mozilla do it but Safari can't with the same options? :confused: Let me get this right. I'm browsing Ebay and everytime I...

    .bmp pictures not displaying in browsers

    Well what a pain in the kiester! This seems like something that should be fixed with an update or something.

    .bmp pictures not displaying in browsers

    I agree 100% I'd never use a .bmp on any web page I'd ever build, but the problem comes in trying to see stuff on Ebay or some other auction, forum or whatever where some idiot just has to use .bmp or dosen't know how to convert. Unfortunately I find myself turning to my PC to look at stuff...

    .bmp pictures not displaying in browsers

    In Safari I get a blank placeholder and in IE I get a stupid symbol where the .bmp is supposed to be. If I copy a .bmp from the web it opens a blank placeholder. WTF is up with that? Help

    Sold an Authorized computer.

    That was fast, I was expecting a long wait. Cool!

    Sold an Authorized computer.

    There's nothing on the machine that can identify anything about me. I initialized the full HD in it right before I sold it and only installed 9 Even if the person I sold it to reads these very forums and manages to guess at things, it's unlikely that they could guess both a username and password .

    Setting up 2nd hard drive for Mac OS X

    I may be wrong on this but I think you're comparing formatting too much to PCs. Every HD I've partitioned and "initialized" with Panther or Jaguar has been done with blazing speed. I think after you partition the system just needs to allocate the free space not actually write some mysterious...

    Sold an Authorized computer.

    So like an idiot I sold a machine that was authorized for iTunes. I'm not worried about the machine I sold, it was reinitialized and only OS 9 installed. However it's ID or whatever Apple keeps on file must still be there, I've gone through my machines and can only authorize two at one time...

    Freakin' Mac Security Update Screwed Up Panther!!!

    I have the same Book and just did it with no trouble. Of course this is a fresh install today also though. I also use auto-login, I hate multiple user machines too much of a headache. Maybe you had some pre-exsisting problem that didn't show up until you did this update.

    I may be crazy, or not?

    Maybe it's just preceived, I know the first thing I do when I buy or repair a PC is re-partition and format the drive whether it needs it or not to get rid of all the factory junk that does nothing more than slow down a machine. Plus to start a new with fresh shiat. Then you know what's there...

    I may be crazy, or not?

    I re-partitioned my HD and did a fresh install of Panther without enabling journaling. This a less than 1 month old PB (see sig) I did this to try out YDL but alas it's a no go. Anyway now my Panther seems way more snappier and responsive than before. Could this be just because of the journaling...

    PB 15" G4 1Ghz Combo, Trackpad Question

    I installed that sidetrack proggy. It is a good thing. I'll just have to live with accidentally tapping now and again on the road. I can't believe more folks don't wan't an adjustment for this. Maybe we can hope for an update or request it from the sidetrack developer. Oh and I did download...

    PB 15" G4 1Ghz Combo, Trackpad Question

    Sounds like a good app, but does it provide trackpad tap sensitivity adjustments?
