    New PowerBook came with Old OS

    I just bought a brand new PowerBook G4 550 ... got a deal at MicroCenter, it had been up in the warehouse and everyone forgot about it, well they put it out on the floor yesterday and I just happened to be at the right place at the right time - lucky me! My question is; I thought Apple...

    I've used TT-web a couple times, overall good experiences, just like mdnky said about H&R, TT-web let's you save and come back, and output in PDF, federal, state. I don't recall which browser on which OS I did it though, probably IE 5 on OSX.

    PS Plugin to make cartoon cell look from photo?

    Have you seen the Intel commercial, where the girl takes the photograph of the band and uses some graphics tool to quickly make it look like a cartoon animation cell to use as the artwork for the CD cover? How'd they do that? Does anyone know of a Photoshop plugin to do such a thing? Thanks!!

    PC Configurartion Questions...

    1) Probably, but never assume anything. 2) I think the shared video memory is due to the video adapter being built into the motherboard and not an addtional card. If you're not gaming or using it for heavy graphics it's probably no big deal especially if you're used to VPC. 3) Can't say...

    What if? iApps for Win32??

    What if instead of the iApps charge of $50 for the bundle of iPhoto, iMovie and iDVD for Mac users that's been rumored everywhere, it's actually a package for Windows users that'll cost $50?? On ThinkSecret.com they talk about something that M$ wouldn't be happy about... could this be it...

    Stupid Move on Apple's part

    RacerX... I don't want to get off on a rant here (Dennis Miller) ... the difference between Apple and Be, Apple has a following already, and Apple has lots of wannabe customers that don't want or can't afford to buy their hardware. That's why it would be different for them to sell the OS and...

    Stupid Move on Apple's part

    First iTools, now this? Very sad to see this happen if it's indeed true. I switched about a year and a half ago, and have had new mac envy for a few months now. But another move like this is going to keep Apple a bit player in the market. When will Apple realize that the only way to turn...

    Survey: What DON'T you like about how OSX behaves?

    I love the idea of a tabbed Dock, that would be sweet! Maybe a seperate tab for open app windows instead of the right side of the dock??

    Pictures Folder screen effects, suddenly slow

    I don't know what I might have installed, since I've installed quite a few things lately, but I've noticed my screensaver has slowed to an ugly slow crawl lately. The pictures draw themselves very slowly on screen and the fades are terrible, it used to be so smooth. Does anyone have any info...

    what do you guys think of buying refurbished?

    I bought my iBook refurb'd from macwarehouse.com - other than the refurbished sticker on the box, it appeared brand new. The only thing I wish I would have done is purchased the Apple Care, but I'd definately buy refurbished again, I saved around $200 at the time off the new price.

    Webhosting? Who should I switch to?

    FWIW: I like echolima.com - multiple domains on a single account, advanced control panel too, but cheapest account is $9.95 mo., cheaper if paid in advance.

    any suggestions for good webcam for 10.2.x?

    I'm using a firewire iBot - got my clearanced from my local Micro Center - it had been returned by someone. Works great - haven't had any problems with it. BTW, I recommend EvoCam (http://www.evological.com/) for a webcam app. My cam is up and running off my iBook G3 500 right now as a...
