I used to buy RAM and such there until one of the hard disks I ordered was DOA. It was part of a combined order, to keep the shipping costs low. However, shipping back the one bad HD on itself was almost as expensive as shipping the package. Worst of all, the shipping back almost doubled the...

Please stop calling something "BD" because it's full HD. You're confusing people. The format of the disk has nothing to do with the resolution of the video files that are put on it. You could put a HD movie (fragment) on a floppy disk if you wanted to. Calling it a BD floppy would be :D funny...

It's been a while since your post. What model did you choose? Most US stores don't deliver to Europe, or at prices that are not competitive (think of shipping and handling, taxes and what happens if it's DOA and you also have to pay for shipping back again..). I have been looking around for a...

Meanwhile, in 2004.. I must warn you that back in 2001 we spend days and days, trying to get it to work, without succes. Eventually we even installed Linux for PowerPC on my computer - but even that was a failure - to get the 'normal' lib to work. Finally we gave up by lack of time. Of...

Often this is even better: After pressing CMD-SHIFT-4 and while dragging over the part of the screen you want a dump of with the mousebutton pressed, keep the CTRL key pressed before you let go the mousebutton. Instead of saving it to a file on your desktop, OS X will put it on your clipboard...

There is a lot a problems around this. What works best is to quit Mail and manually put the old mail file in the new folder at Users/Username/Library/Mail or Users/Username/Library/Mail/Mailboxes - I forgot since it is months ago since I did it. Just Google for more info about this.

I'd like to think of it as.. 999 out of a 1000 things in OS X work smoothly now, by 10.4, but since OS X has thousands of bits and pieces.. there is still some bug to solve here and there - and since the number of pieces keeps growing..

I (also) meant: If there is no installer, you can (quit illustrator first and) put them in the plug-in folder yourself, and restart illustrator. This should be enough to use the plug-in(s), if they are suitable for your app.

Usually, 3rd party plugins come with an installer who puts 'm in the plug-ins folder, which is in the illustrator folder. Restart Illustrator before you try to use them.

Have you tried de-installing it, restarting, downloading the latest driver (there has just been another update..) and installing it again? Also, when it works fine at one account and not in another, it means it almost certainly lies in the preferences (or other files) of the latter.

When I make a screenshot (CMD-SHIFT-3 or CMD-SHIFT-4), Tiger makes PNG files on the desktop of them, even after typing your code in the Terminal.. What do I do wrong?? :confused:

OK... finally, it worked at the 4th attempt, by copying straight from the cdrom instead of from the folder I had used before to import the old mail.. :)

I had problems importing my old mail, so I tried this tip. Dragged my Mail folder to the desktop, copied my old Mail folder in my Library instead, replaced the com.apple.mail.plist file in the same fashion. Started up Mail 2 -> it suggests to import old mail. When I choose not to, all I got...

Sounds cool to me :) I live in the Netherlands though :P

Havn't got a clue about the cards, but.. I bought a new G5 lately, plus a 2nd HD of exactly the same type as was in it, but at a local PC shop. Such a ST3160023AS [Seagate Barracuda] cost me about €115,- That's only a fraction of the price of a G5. I mean: what are you going to do when...
