yeah maybe I should major in finance instead ;) Well engineering isn't so bad. I like what you can do with it but I'm not sure that's what I want to do. Did I mention that it's too much work?

You can use Conceptdraw but it's a pain when you could have some nice prebuilt NAND gates and transistors. If you have X windows and Finch installed you can get dia. It's not bad but I'm still looking for a good OS X GUI based app. I know many engineers that wish they could use their macs...

I'm looking for a Mac OS X app in which I can draw circuit diagrams to put in a project. No simulation is necessary, I have other software for that (Cadence awb, cmosis5, virtuoso). Basically any software that can draw logic gates and basic devices like a mux, voltage source, amplifier...

Damn those new CLIE's are tempting. They cost about the price of the iPod. Now I don't feel like buying a damn iPod anymore. The only grippe I have is that the battery life sucks. Come on 7 hours with the screen of? My Tibook can last that long with the screen off. I guess I could always...

Well it all depends on how they implement it but convergence is definatly the future. I mean wouldn't it be cool to have a cell phone/PDA/mp3 player all in one? The Sony Clie is cool no matter what you say. The problem with the mp3 player is that is uses memory sticks. Flash memory is cool and...

I'm looking to buy an Mp3 player this summer. The iPod is great and it is definatly tempting but I also want to buy a PDA; the Sony Clie is nice with its built in Mp3 player. The iPod could easily be made into a kickass PDA if Apple wanted to. The iPod has 32 MB of SDRAM and an ARM7...

I know this is on the border line of not belonging on this part of the forum but who reads the printer section anyway? :) I have been looking all over the place for reviews of multifunction printers but I can't find many. I've looked on Macworld and Macaddict but they only mention about...

I run 10.1 on a beige 266mhz with 256mb of RAM. It's not so bad. Just make sur you are runing in thousands of colours (not millions!). Of course my Tibook runs X much better, but the beige still isn't bad for a 3 year old machine. I think that your 350mhz imac should be fine. Loading it...

I've been wanting to learn Applescript for some time now. It doesn't look too hard to learn. Are there any good online tutorials and books I should use? Thanks for the info.

Well, I figured out how to find documentation on the Darwin file stystem. I had forgotten the very usefull command hier (yesterday in French, weird). Using the man pages is perfect. man hier #to view info on the Darwin file system

Here is my problem: Mac OS X does not support floppy disks. But Mac OS X is just a shell that sits on top of Darwin UNIX right? Correct me if I'm wrong but Darwin is very similar to FreeBSD, and FreeBSD supports floppies!!! Damn :D Therefore if I can mount floppies in FreeBSD I should be...

Does anyone know? It seems that I haven't heard of RealPlayer coming out for X. I have lots of movies in Real format, are there any apps that could convert them to .mov for me?

Go to www.VersionTracker.com and do a search for DivX. Download DivOSX. It plays most .avi movies right in Quicktime, some you need to doctor to transform to .mov I have tons of divx movies (all anime) and i haven't found one file so far that doesn't work perfectly. The deal with Divx is...

Where can I learn more about Startup items? Do you have any links? I was also wondering why I can't delete files and folders from my Library folder when I'm logged as root. I had to go into the command line, log in as superuser and then delete my Startup items to start fresh.

I just read your signature, lol. I need to write myself one.

I know floppy drives are obsolete but that is really not my problem. I have my own Titanium Powerbook G4 and an external Firewire CD burner. Believe me, I know the value of a CD! I'm a computer engineering student. My brothers are all younger than me and they are in high school. The beige G3...

What!!!! This is horrible! There is not way to make it work? This is the familly computer and we are 6 using it! No disk = back to OS 9 on this computer. Nooooooooooo! Aren't there any free drivers out there somewhere? There must be a way! Please! Noooooooooooooo :eek: :confused: :(

Say it ain't so!! I really hope I'm wrong. I've tried everything to get my Floppy Drive working on my Beige G3 in OS X 10.1.1 but now I'm beginning to wonder if Apple just abandoned Floppy Drive support. My computer is one of the only computers that has a built in Floppy drive and supports OS...

That fixed my problem. Thanx, you well deserve your titles of Lincensed Computer Geek and Unofficial Mac Genius! :D

I've got it working! Thanks for the help. After playing around with it, and reading some commands in my UNIX in a Nutshell book I figured it out. Not too easy for a beginner. It makes me realize that I have to learn a lot more about UNIX. The only reason why it didn't work in the first...
