Thanks for the info, looks like I should fill it up with as much RAM as possible (1 gig, I think). I typically have a couple Office apps open along with SPSS & possibly iPhoto and/or Photoshop. Then of course the obvious Safari, Mail and iTunes. I always presumed that 640mb was enough and...

I recently got Tiger 10.4 and, perhaps more importantly, a Firewire DVD-R/W drive. I have an 800mhz G4 with 640mb of RAM. My question is, would an increase in RAM (say, upgrading to a total of 1gb) give me much of a speed/reliability boost? I wouldn't consider myself a power user but I do...

This truly makes upgrading any non-DVD Mac a royal pain in the butt. I took the extreme measure and ordered an external DVD-RW drive; to me, this signifies that all future OS releases will come on DVD only as well as other software bundles (yeah I'm lookin' at you, iLife). It's a tough day...

Did you try repairing permissions? Whenever I have an OS/Finder problem that is always the first thing I'm told to do.

That's quite frightening. I have a Lacie D2 drive that I use for backup purposes as well. Unfortunately I don't have the new MacOS so I can't help you with your situation. I would like to hear how it turns out, though. Good luck! (bumping for a friend in need)

Wow, someone sounds quite bitter. I'll also do my homework, which sounds like a move you had started but evidently didn't completely follow-through with. I do sympathize with you as I own a fairly older Mac, myself, that has no DVD drive. No reason for you to "punish" Apple for your own lack...

I'm guessing it should run okay, but I've been wondering the same thing as far as the speed issue goes. I'm on an eMac 700mhz, it seems to get bogged down right now in Panther so I'm hoping Tiger helps out with that ... really hoping. I've got 640 mb of ram, too! Oh well...

Quite the interesting monopoly this has created; I'm sure Bill Gates is proud (and possibly jealous?).

This is a pretty shitty port. I was way too excited for this app to be coming to Mac; I use it daily in class, work and play. So I get an Arizona TOPO! for Christmas (thanks bro!) and fire it up. I gotta tell you, I was IMMEDIATELY disappointed with it's general speed. In the time it takes...

well as long it's nothing I need to be too concerned about. i'd just never seen that before. thanks for the info!

Just yesterday I began getting returned emails, like the ones you get when send something to a dead address, to messages I've never sent. I even received a blank email sent to myself, that I didn't construct. What the hell? :mad: Is there any way to stop this? Does this mean they have the...

Best GPS mapping app by far (IMO) is the National Geographic TOPO software.

I tried enabling Airport to Ethernet bridging and my roommate's Mac lost his internet, so I had to use Distribute again. Is there another way to go about this?

So I finally determined how to port forward, yay! Now my problem is that my Mac's local IP keeps changing, completely screwing up my whole port forwarding scheme. Is there a way to assign my computer a static local IP address with Airport? I have OS 10.3.7 and my Basestation is the...

I would really like to use the .Mac website builder due to it's simplicity. However, I really like to keep a little news/blog-type page as well...but I'm really anal in that I want the entire site to look similar. I've searched and searched and cannot find anything that will post onto .Mac...

Well I must say, this is the first time owning a Mac has really bitten me in the ass. :(

Thanks Jeff, I appreciate the jesture. I can actually take it to my buddie's house and try to unzip it; the reason I wanted to ask here first is because the file is about 2 gigabytes and I'm not sure if his PC will see my external FW harddrive (it's MacOS formatted). We'll try and see. Just...

The file is much too large to post here ... a little over 2 Gigs. If it were a more managable size I'd just burn it to a CD-R and unzip it at work or something. I'll have to think about this, thanks for the replies though!

I've got a zipped archive that I downloaded which I'm having problems with. I rechecked the file and it's fully downloaded. Here's the deal, it was created on Windows with WinZip. Other Win-users encounter issues unzipping UNLESS they too, use WinZip. Obviously I don't have that luxury so I'm...

3335 songs .. 20 gigs or so. About 1/3 of those songs are live recordings, mostly Phish.
