    My proposed home setup

    Right, that is why I want to primarily use ethernet, because it is more reliable. The whole reason why I wanted gigabit was so that I could use the G3 as a NAS so I could store all of my media and do backups. I wanted the website thing so that If i was at a computer that only had a browser, I...

    External Display iBook G4

    I have the VGA dongle to hook up to an external display, I was wondering if I can get a higher resolution than 1024x768 on the external display. It has only 32MB of video ram but if I remember correctly display resoltion only depends on the amount of vram you have and 32 is more than enough to...

    I have a bluetooth phone (Nokia 3600) and there is a application you can download called Salling Clicker that lets you remotely control many applications on your mac including itunes. It does cost you like 20 some dollars but you can try it for free.

    Networking a windows XP machine as a router to OSX

    I have tried this over and over, at one time I had it all going with a crossover cable via ethernet. I tried Using the wireless in ad hoc mode but it was flaky and the range is horrible. I would just go buy a wireless router, it sucks to spend more money, but it will work and make it so you...

    Buy now or wait until after MacWorld?

    I bought an iBook a few weeks ago. I was going to wait, but I figured that this one is going to last me a long time. Besides it is not definite that new intel macs are going to be released in Jan. I thought they were predicting sometime later on this year. I also needed a computer, as I am...

Whenever I start up front row, i go into videos and the music videos show up in the movies category rather than the music video category...

    I have an ibook now!

    Congrats, I just purchased a new g4 ibook as well, the 14 inch. I love it! I downloaded wolfenstein: enemy territory and it runs smooth. I was a little skeptical because of only 32 mb of vid ram, but it surprises me! I was thinking of getting sims 2 as well, the specs seem like they just meet...

    who started using USB...Apple or ?

    umm, I have an IBM Aptiva desktop Pentium 133Mhz circa early 1996 that has USB built into the motherboard. So it obviously wasnt a standard across perifs, but still you say that macs didnt use them till 1998. I also own a Packard Bell Pentium 233Mhz purchased November 1997 that has 2 USB ports...

    How've Mac's changed your life?

    I was a big hater of macs a few years ago. I thought that no one used them and they were too expensive and too undersupported. Recently at the beggining of '05 I felt that there was an explosion of publicity on the tech shows that I watched. I had never used osx before I recieved my b&w g3...

    Tiger Install Woes

    hmm, that puzzles me because am currently running tiger on the 20g drive and no problems. I assume I have the master/slave settings correct because both drives mount on the desktop. I have tried many other settings and cables, but Tiger will always give me errors on the 40g drive. Maybe I'll...

    Tiger Install Woes

    I have a G3 450Mhz 512MB Ram. I upgraded to tiger from 10.3.9 a couple of months ago. Tiger installed perfectly. I was using a Western Digital 20gig drive that I had previously on a windows machine. I pulled my 40gig Western Digital from another windows box and wanted to do a clean install of...

    better video card benefits

    I have a 450Mhz G3 B&W with the stock 16MB pci video card. Would an upgraded (32 or 64MB) card speed up rendering within Tiger? Specifically the genie effect when minimizing windows(right now its ok, but looks choppy)? Also when using expose, while it is fast, it is choppy. Also my current card...

    iPhoto slideshows

    I am currently running iPhoto 5.02, whenever I play a slideshow fullscreen, it changes my resolution on my monitor (17" crt) from 1024x768 to 800x600. It looks so crappy! I don't remember it doing it before. Is there some way that I could set the resolution to display them in? Or has anyone had...
