Hey all.. I am trying to find someone selling a Lacie HDD firewire casing.. but not the current model.. the older silver w/ blue face model. I am hoping someone knows someone who had a lacie external hdd that broke and who wants to sell the case. I could buy one of the casings off...

Big beos fan AdmiralAK? I don't recall having seen you around the community. Maybe you have a different nick. I know I do. ;P

gpgmail seems pretty nice. I just installed it, and it looks good. I wish it was a bit more full featured, but the developers seem good, and it is still in development. Definately a good start. :) Is there /anything/ i can do about the spam in mail.app? I know i can "bounce" the messages, but...

Hey all.. I get about 40-50 spams a day, and would LOVE to find a way to filter them now that I have migrated to macs, and mail.app. How can i control these things? Outlook on the pc had a "junk senders" list, which helped quite a bit on the repeated spam, but mail.app doesnt seem to have...

Ok... so I went to the opening of the tice's corner apple store in NJ earlier this month, and it was as cool as I'd hoped... Now i am trying to recall something I saw there, and am having a hard time. The computers that didnt have soundsticks or some other output method had a pair of...

Hey... I just recently got my powerbook, and reformatted/partitioned it so i could keep my OS's and data seperate (i sense that OS X seems to like fresh installs of major releases, and multiple partitions will help) anyway, i moved my personal user directory over to the data partition by...

what is the other filesystem? does it have any advantages? is /it/ journaled? what is the trade off?

Hey.. I am coming to OS X from BeOS, which had a filesystem that did all sorts of nifty tricks. So does Win2k/XP. My question is about the OS X file system. I would research it myself, but the powerbook has yet to ship. :-( Anyway, what featuers does OS X have in its file system...

I am pretty sure the ibook uses the "superslim" model notebook harddisks. That excludes the 48gig notebook drives, as they are not "superslim" - i think the largest that would qualify is the 40gb toshiba disk. That said, i recently saw an announcement of a 60gb notebook drive (not superslim)...

tismey.. do you mean the 24x write, 40x read, 10x re-write lacie? if so, then that is the one i decide on. If there is a 40x write model, the 24x is going back and i am ordering the 40x. :P

Hey.. got a pbg4 in the mail. need to order a firewire cd-rw. My choices are: Formac 24x Smartdisk 8x bus powered portable or some other one.. maybe the tdk? Anyway, i cant decide between portability or speed and burn-proof. any advice would be greatly appreciated.

So i ordered a loaded TiBook and external firewire cd-rw last week. Needless to say, i am excited. If only the thing would hurry up and ship. Apparently, it's due to ship next week. At least according to MacMall. But my friend who ordered directly from apple at least a week earlier than me...

very cool. How about Unreal and Unreal Tournament. Will the updaters make them run as well? I just ordered my g4 TiBook, so expect a ton of these kinda crazy "what about..." questions from me until the thing arrives and i can actually play with it myself. :) Also.. my question about the...

Ok.. so I am pretty concerned over all the "email tapping" laws being put in place.. not because i have anything to hide, but because i believe i have the right to privacy. That said, I was trying to figure out how to use encrypted email under OS X the easiest. The best solution i could think...
