Ed - I commend you as well, although I didn't get a chance to see the post in question, nor do I care. If people want to talk trash, it doesn't bother me at all. As for cleaning it up for the kids, that's understandable. I have no problem with them mentioning it in their newsletter. They need...

Good to hear as well. I don't know if we'll see a free upgrade to pro-tools, but it sure would be nice. Usually these types of users (audio studio, graphic design houses, etc) are the last to upgrade to the latest os anyway. They get stuck in production mode.. No time to learn a new os, or...

Hehe. Yeah.. but you gotta provide the floppies! J5

Snowball - I hadn't seen your post before my last one. Drop me an email and we can get started. It will definitely be open-source and free to all. That's the whole point, that and the points you mention about showing Apple a little "tough love". J5

Hehe - I neglected to mention the powermac 8500 sitting next to me. Still going strong.. new drives and a maxpowr g4 card. Designated to running proTools. Added a usb card as well. Heck.. for a while we even had osx running on it! But as far as audio multi-tracking.. that's what this...

Plastic - I couldn't explain it to myself, let alone a 4yr. old. It literally makes no sense at all. At first, I was thinking: "Oh.. cool. I'm gonna back up my 30gig drive tonight to my idisk...so that I can reformat and do a clean install without using up a ton of cd's..." That's what...

Hey Plastic - Here's a link for ya' http://www.mac.com/1/iTour/tour_backup.html And good point - are they that strapped for cash!? It's so weird. Everytime they release something cool (jaguar, and all it's goodness) - I get all happy. Then there is always something that turns me right...

Not quite sure what you mean - That's exactly how I see it, and it's an email account I can do without. My point was that backup sounds like a simple piece of software to write. It just doesn't seem worth $99 a year to me. The backup software though to me seems like a good piece of...

Hey all - I've been thinking of posting this for a few days now, and have refrained because I didn't want to come off as a windows bashing lunatic. But.. my story: I own the mac in my sig. I use it all day, every day, and have for the past 5 years. Obviously, the 30gig drive didn't come...

Hey all - got an email last night promoting the new backup feature of .mac. I have no interest at all in .mac, but there was something in there that really rubbed me the wrong way. Ummm... ok... wtf? So wait... is Apple going to hook up 10 million cd burners on their servers for me(us), and...

Developer is the developer tools. You shouldn't need it unless you plan on creating your own apps for os x, java, etc. I think you can safely delete it, but I've never tried! J5

Wow! So the tibooks do have a fan?? I've never seen a powerbook with a fan! How on earth do they fit all that stuff in there?! Good to hear you got it straightened out. J5

That's really odd... I didn't know they had a fan? I don't have one, so I may be wrong. Did you leave the cd in there by any chance? Sometimes an off balance cd will make a whole lotta noise. :) J5

Hmmm.... It really depends on how much you want to keep! If you don't care, or have everything you want backed up, the simplest thing to do is to just reformat/partition the drive and start over. You'll need a cd with os9 that you can startup off of though. If you just bought Jaguar, it...

Ahhh.. that felt good. Thanks for the link. Hopefully Apple listens! J5

Hey all - Spent the morning installing and then hacking away at Jaguar! I got angry for a bit, cuz' I hate font smoothing, and couldn't get it to turn off. Found the culprit, or at least got it to work for now. A file called ".GlobalPreferences.plist" in my preferences folder. The first...

great topic! I think my biggest complaint is with Apple is the "forced" visuals. There is no way in heck I'm going back to os9.... I love os x's crash-free operation, it's amazing I got anything done before it's release. What I really truly hate is exactly what BuddhaBob is hinting at (I...

Yokim - The flash-based video/audio conferencing works well with macs.. although a bit slow on some older macs. I'm running 300mhz, and it's quite usable for me. Unfortunately but not suprisingly, the pc I had running the flash communication server has decided to die. Go figure. There is...

Hey - The majority of the time - I agree. I hate the "sue-happy" world as much as the next guy. Makes me sick when people get all money hungry and want to sue everyone for everything. I don't thinking sueing Apple is going to happen, and I certainly don't think we'd win if we tried. We'd waste...

Roper - Good call -- but it seems they might have caught on already.. hope you got better screen shots than I did. At the very bottom of the page, there is a line: "iTools and other Internet features require Internet access; fees may apply. " Argh. J5 Just some thoughts -- if the...
