    New intel Macs

    Well, no one has mentioned "Inpple" yet - sounds like something that grows on the surface of your skin where the sun doesn't shine. GOSH! I've been sitting on this Inpple for a week now and it hasn't gone away! Do you think I should see a doctor?

    we can breath easier about intel macs

    Irrespective of the logo, I still think that the switch to Intel is a bad idea, and I think that IBM will eventually get its act together and produce high-end PowerPC G5 chips worthy of laptop functionality. I have a 3.2 GHz Intel Pentium based IBM PC (REAL IBM!) at work and it is a real dawg...

    What applications to use with X11? Suggestions and reviews

    If you want a more fully functional version of OpenOffice, try NeoOffice (http://www.neooffice.org/).

    Yes, Mail is set to check for new mail every 15 minutes. The issue is that I know the new mail is in the account because Mozilla 1.7.10 downloads the mail in its email client.

    [FAQ]Can I install Tiger on my Mac from another Mac's DVD/CDs?

    When I purchased Mac OS X Tiger, it naturally came on a DVD, and my Blue & White G3 didn't have a DVD drive from which to startup, so I installed Tiger (Installation DVD) on my iPod from my external DVD, booted from my iPod, and installed Tiger on to my hard drive from the iPod. This was not an...

    [HOW TO] rip DVD's to iPod

    You could also try MacTheRipper for ripper DVDs and DVD2oneX for compressing them to lower quality video and size. After all, how good does the quality need to be to watch on a 2.5 inch screen? Plus, it's not like you'll be needing Dolby Surround Sound either. You can use VLC to watch any...
