    Digital Monitor Switcher Box???

    what i meant was which interface you were using. New Graphics cards have different outputs to old ones (analog output use VGA while the new hard-core one use DVI). VGA switching box is much cheaper than a DVI swiching box (ie 2xDVI inputs (one from each computer) going to one dvi output)

    Digital Monitor Switcher Box???

    Remote desktop is a great idea and i sometimes wish Mac OS X had it built in, but for what you want it would be useless. It is ideal for apps like word etc but as soon as you start using it for anything that uses the 3D graphics card it will crumble as it will need to do all 3D rendering in...

    Please help me..I think i may have killed my drive.

    did you tell it to 'zero' the drive? If you did it is going through and writing 0's to every sector of the disk... that could take a while. But if you just asked it to format and paritiion then it should be done in no more than about 30 seconds. Sounds like you have no data to loose, just...

    Sharing Stickies between Accounts

    or instead of rsync-ing the files you could just set the permissions to group write then move the file from the shared folder to the users on login then back to shared on logout. Only one person has access to the file at a time after all. You might want to copy the file just incase the...

    i dont think windows sharing can startup if there is no network connection, either ethernet (en0) or ppp (ppp0) or airport etc... Basically because you dont have an ip address (unless you use static ip instead of dhcp) Is you network plugged in? try going to terminal and typing...

    Upload with apache

    try opening it with project builder then go to format>line endings> Use Unix Line endings (LF) then resave and try again. It may be the perl script has windows line endings (CR/LF) which means it wont run on unix because it cant tell where the lines end! I would almost put money on it -...
