And why the hell does it keep wanting to access various urls with .nl and .ws suffixxes? I fear the worst, spyware? malware? something wants to constantly report home. Little snitch tells me that it is an application callled "nmdb". a search of my system turned up no such app. :confused...

yes indeed, but what about after the battery is fully charged? Is it ok to continuously charge a full battery? I would think this would considerably shorten the lifespan of the battery over time. My old G3 PowerBook battery barely maintains a 20 minute charge these days due to constant charging.

got it, thanks everybody!

The big new 17 incher that I find myself carrying around these days has me nervous. Its so big and beautiful, but just how hardy is it? I have had a G3 Powerbook for 5 years now, and it has been to hell and back with me numerous times. The port cover is missing,the original HD is dead, the...

Ok, Quicktime Pro was the 1st half of my solution. I actually did the editing in QTpro, and saved snippets as separate mpg's. This snippets however, are still too big for the web, is imovie what I need now to compress a 5 meg clip down to about a meg?

I have a video capture of my wifes last ultrasound. It weighs in at just over 1 gig, and about 30 minutes long. it is an .mpg, and was captured using an aurora fuse card. I want to take key parts of the footage, in 5-15 second snippets, and save them as indivudal files. What program do you...

I would (and do on my old old perofrma) use it to emulate a roland 303 synth. Rebirth 1.5 will run on that old thing just fine with OS8.6. With an old serial midiman , I now have 2 roland 303's and an 808 in my midi network. Gotta love it. In my opinion, if it still works, there are always...

We use 9 for our pro audio studio setup. ProTools, damn near every plugin ever made, and Digital Performer 3. Tweaked just right and running very stable and speedily on the last of the great G4 beasts (dual 1.25) that still boots 9. Our prospects in X are grim, but we are gearing up for it...

Apple takes 1/3 of the 99¢ for every song. The artists are STILL getting ripped off. Do not buy music from ITMS if you support artists rights. http://downhillbattle.org/itunes/index.html

ok, you nailed it bobw. We have a panther box on our network and when we plugged the drive into it, it saw the drive just fine. Although we cannot access that drive on the network . And good thought Zammy, but these 3 pc's are so specialized they dont even have nic cards so we couldnt...

I have a 250gig firewire drive formatted for PC. It was used to backup the sample libraries of 3 giga samplers (speacilized PC's running XP). So it is literally full of $1000's worth of audio. We need to mount this drive on a Mac running 10.2.8, so we can convert the files for use with Mach 5...

An ipod that is also a megapixle camera could be in that price range.

Mac's are easy enough for mom to use; if she wants to surf the web, check email, av chat, etc.... However if your mom also runs final cut pro, and half a dozen other complex editing programs, while at the same time creating and deleting gigabyte sized files constantly, and is in an office...

Today I stumbled on something odd. I was on our composers workstation (a dual 1.25 G4 running 9.2.2 Using DP3 with a ProTools back end) and as I was rebooting it, it asked me if I wanted to connect to a shared drive on another mac (dual 800 G4 running jaguar). This struck me as odd because...

el gato numera diez señalan cuatro?

Fryke, yes it does. Thank you.

thats a shame, I guess I'll hafta wait till the price drops on Canopus Firewire boxes. Thanks.

Ok, well actually 2 monitors and a tv. Here is the scenario: The powerbook is a digital audio workstation for a film composer. In addition to the built-in 17" flat panel, I have a 20" CRT connected. It does provide an impressive amount of desktop. Since we will be scoring film, we need...

thanks!
