Just thought I'd pass this along - after much frustration I finally found out how to get my new Airport Express to talk to my Linksys 802.11g router. I'm no expert but it seems that if you try to use WEP security with a Linksys router the Airport express will not be able to join the network...

I've heard rumors that they plan to add a number of new nodes and that the replacements will be the new cluster node Xserve not the standard Xserve with three hard drives and an optical drive. I've also heard rumors that a number of the current dual 2GHz G5's will go to VTech computer labs and...

Bottom line is that any new Windows OS is still built on DOS which is about as obsolete as stone tools. Just go into CMD and you can still enter DOS commands in Windows (I don't want to hear any Windows weenies say that Windows is built on "NT" technology... bullshit). Microsoft has dug itself...

I've had UT2003 quit several times on my Dual 2Ghz, especially when playing online - I haven't had any other problems other than the "aliens" trying to contact me through my sound system with strange 1Hz beeps and static. Apple replaced the PSU which didn't fix the problem with the beeping but...

I'm posting this at the risk of getting my behind flamed to a crisp... one of my IT friends sent this to me. I've been using Mac's (and PC's) since the 80's and thought this was pretty funny (even though it pokes fun at Apple). Sorry if it's old news or if you're too much of an "Apple cult"...

Seriously. - john.

Here's my latest - it's in line with the Apple cat theme.... hopefully Apple will use "tiger" before the species is extinct. The image is from National Geographic's site - they have a huge collection of their most famous shots for free download - the best place for cool desktops IMHO - john...

Good question. Maybe Apple has some agreement with MS. Unlike the above posts, I haven't found a site (knocking on wood) that I need to use IE for but I keep it around just in case. -john.

I didn't say any old pc hardware - any hardware with the new PPC 900 series processors made by IBM (remember what this thread is about) which would only put Apple in competition with LINUX at this point in time. I have lots of IT friends who would love to have a UNIX based OS with a great front...

No problems here on my 10.3.1 2x2 G5 - make sure you have downloaded and installed the patch from MacSoft - john.

I think they will rebrand the 980 as the G6 simply because the chips are so different. The 980 is a Power5 cut in half but still has some of the add-ons of the Power5... i.e. memory controller on the die and a whole new method of dynamic processor and memory frequency control. Also, the 980 is...

I went to a Radiohead show in August - awesome show... there where several Powerbooks and iBooks on stage that could easily be seen by their distinctive glowing white Apples. I believe they were being used to play samples during certain songs. Thom York (lead singer) approached and used the...

That's pretty good... how about 5 reasons not to buy a dual 2GHz G5: 1. It weighs close to 50 lbs which makes carrying it to work every day a hassle 2. The enclosure is nowhere near as nicely formed as my Dell Dimension 8200 3. It would be loads cheaper than a comparable PC workstation if...
