    iTunes: the program formerly known as cool

    The only problems I have had burning discs has been due to the media itself. When you look through your iTunes preferences/settings you will see a choice of burning speeds. I solved a lot of these problems by changing the speed to 4x/2x rather than max speed. This probably won't help when...

    Virtual Desktops

    Nice. I use an iMac and find the screen pic a little large even at 1204 by 768. Pushing it off the edge of the screen helps. I tend to keep my desktop clear of files except for what I am currently using so no problem there. I too would like an alternate method of switching screens. I have no...

    Terminal slow to launch (Continued from Classic forum)

    Viewing images within Mail.app

    Ethernet on a Performa...

    A 6400 has a PCI slot and a comm slot. You may already have a modem in the comm slot. You would do better to buy a 10/100 PCI ethernet card, belkin makes one that will work. You could also look for a PCI card with a realtek chipset. There are mac drivers on the web for the realtek...

    XDarwin & Orobor

    I also had problems with OroborOSX, I eventually installed afterstep and it works just fine. Once you go to rootless mode every thing looks better anyway. If you can't see your dock and screen try pressing apple, option and a. That should switch between xdarwin and aqua. If you run it as...
