Yeah, I don't think my wife knows all their names yet... but then again, there are only a handful that she actually uses.

Not really... they are all quite friendly. As I usually have the displays off on most of them, I have them set to speak alert dialogs. So I can be working on one and another from the other side of the room will call out "David, I need you for something", that type of thing. Plus the general...

I don't prefer (or use) any of those... It is a good thing for me that there are other browsers. :D

Well, there isn't much to see here. This is a diagram of my computer area (what should have been the living room of our apartment): and this is a quick set of images of the room (covering about 320 degrees): click to enlarge I think I've talked about most of these systems and...

And then on the lower lower end is HyperEngine AV and Avid Free DV, both running around... oh, free. :D

ActiveX is one of the file formats design to create platform lock in. Microsoft will never release it for any other platform. Microsoft has also tried in the past to pollute other standards in an attempt to do the same thing. They tried to push an MS-HTML and Visual J++ (a Windows only Java...

I don't know... Netscape 6 was so buggy that most everyone I knew that tried it quickly went back to using Netscape Communicator 4.7x. I would recommend Communicator 4.8 before Netscape 6. In fact I carry a ton of browsers compatible with most versions of the Mac OS (from 7.x to 10.4.x) and...

Also I don't think this can be called the first of it's kind for Mac OS X. I seem to recall that someone had created a Trojan that looked like the installer for MS Word v.X that was on some wares servers a few years back. The idea of using social engineering rather than pure technical ability...

Quick historical note... The Beige G3s were faster than any of the existing Intel desktops back when they were current. When introduced the G4 was faster than any existing Intel desktops. And Intel has yet to ship a processor that can replace the G5 in Apple's product line (though they should...

Ask yourself what is the first thing that Apple does when it buys another software company... It discontinues the Windows versions of the products. No a single high end application that Apple sells is for Windows. The iPod and the iTunes Music Store aren't part of Apple's computer...

There is the rub...the software may be free to download from Apple, but you need a system that can deal with it. Part of the reason I have hardware spanning so many years is that I can always find some system that will let me do something I need to do. You'll most likely need a pre-Mac OS X...

That was most likely the drive it came with from the factory... which means it was made in 1987-88. There is a good chance that the drive maybe completely dead. Most drives have a life expectancy of about 7 to 10 years. That one was pushing 20. A replacement SCSI drive of about 500 MB...

Why would that matter? I use a number of platforms, and I feel no need to say that one is better than another. When I'm posting in an SGI forum, I'm not sitting there saying Macs are better any more than I'm sitting here saying SGIs are better. But these are the self improvement issues that...

If you tried initialize, then you erased the disk. Initializing a drive erases all information on a volume. System 7 runs great on as little as 4 MB of RAM on systems much slower than a IIcx. I ran System 7.1 on my Macintosh SE/30 (same processor at the same speed as the IIcx, a 68030 at 16...

The solution here is not an easy one to post... so I'm not going to even really try (beyond an outline). Create a disk image of between 500 MB and 1 GB, move Distiller 5 and your Mac OS 9 System Folder onto the disk image. Remove other copies of Distiller 5 from your system. Point Classic at...

Really? So you're saying that the laptop you have is adequate for learning to support Macs? Someone who says that they want to support Macs isn't going to gain any experience with a system sitting in the corner in their home. If you are really looking to learn, a PowerBook or iBook would...

Well, honestly, with that statement you've pretty much locked yourself out of Mac support. Supporting a platform means immersing yourself in it to the point of understanding the ins and outs of the systems... and you've basically stated that you aren't willing to do that. If you aren't...

Unless it will impact your work flow... I don't consider Windows to have the ability to let users multitask. In which case, someone more productive on a Mac would make better use of their time building on a Mac and later testing on a PC. :rolleyes: Unless you are paid by the hour of...
