    No 'flash' sounds on new PowerBook...?

    Hey everyone, So yes, the new PowerBook is a dream...it's been so long since I've enjoyed the mobile life, but this is nice. Anyway, I've noticed I can't hear audio on some/all flash sites. I've installed the latest player, but can't seem to get it worked out. Honestly, it really doesn't...

    New Powerbook battery not fully charging...suggestions?

    5.1 audio connector

    SATA HD in a G4?

    I added a PCI SATA card to my Dual 1Ghz and have 2 160's hanging off it working along side the 2 80's that shipped on the ATA controller. Everything has been working perfectly. Enjoy, Eddie

    5G iPods Soon?

    I was thinking about the curtain and 'One more thing' announcement... Yea, I know nothing, I just like analogies... I looked at it right from the beginning as a 'last of the PowerMac' updates...assuming that after Intel gets inside they wont be 'Power' Macs anymore...the curtain used as in...

    New DVD Burner...just checking compatability

    ....except I can't figure out how to correctly take off the front plate? What gives...there's 4 little tabs that 'appear' to be the only things holding that in, but it just doesnt' want to release. This is my first attempt at taking the face plate off an optical drive...anyone have any...

    New DVD Burner...just checking compatability

    The 104 in my system died a couple of years ago...then I spent WAY too much money on an external 106 from Formac...(I loved the converter I got from them, but the burner, while still working, looks and sounds like it was put together by complete morons - and their software sucks too). I'm...
