    ISPs that support OS X

    As far as DSL, you should have no problems at all if using OSX. Setup in X is easier than a Windows machine. You will just need the info to put in these setup window such as DNS servers/various settings.

    Speeding up my sawtooth

    OC a Sawtooth G4...have fun....soldering/desoldering those tiny points just doesn't appeal to me, especially when I cannot afford to buy a replacement if I mess up. Let us know how it turns out (would be really cool if you posted progress pictures!)

    Speeding up my sawtooth

    Quite honestly, if I haven't booted into OS9 in quite a while, I start to get fairly comfortable with the speed and function of OSX. BUT...If I find a need to boot into 9 (as I did just this afternoon), then BOY does 10.1.5 seem SLOW! Nine just seems to plain fly compared to X. What is...

    Mac OS X Speed

    I don't see any reason at all that a new Hard Drive of recent manufacture would cause any heat related problems with an iMac. The majority of newer models of 7200RPM drives are actually cooler running that a lot of 5+ year old 5400RPM drives. Of course, some manufacturers drives are warmer...

    iTunes Hijacks RealAudio files....

    That was the first thing I did. I have subsequently gone back to double check the settings and they are set up correctly to use RealOne to play them....

    iTunes Hijacks RealAudio files....

    Trying to listen to music samples on the J.W. Pepper page. Click on the Real Audio link and iTunes launches and sits there. Now, I know that iTunes cannot play RealPlayer files, but I do have RealOne (the Real Audio player for OSX). I also have IE set up to use RealOne to play all files in...

    .Mac Petition

    It's hypocritical to complain that Apple forgot the "free email for life" pledge they made to us?

    .Mac Petition

    I am afraid you are correct - the full price upgrade policy will wiz off quite a few people. Especially when we are being reamed by the .Mac fiasco as well.

    10.1.5 - huge problem

    Turn the monitor off before you boot the computer. The machine autosenses the monitor right off the bat, so the monitor needs to be off from the very beginning of the boot. After the boot is 100% complete, then turn on the monitor. This should work....

    10.1.5 - huge problem

    Your problem is very similar to mine.... I lost most of the resolution options and refresh rates with my 32MB Radeon AGP and Viewsonic 19" monitor as well. Although I am not limited to just one resolution, I am limited to a much shorter list, with no refresh rates over 85hz. I prviously ran...

    Fix to use Epson SC850 under OSX.....ummm...

    MacFixIt has an article on how some users supposedly got their Epson SC 850 printers to work under OSX (not the ethernet or "N" variety, but standard 850). Here is the quote: "Getting Espon 850 USB to work in OS X - Epson's official driver for the 850N "supports Ethernet connections only...

    Help plz - Troubleshooting X + games....

    I've not tried the other games you mentioned, but your symptoms for Giants are identical to mine. According to MacPlay - my machine more than meets the requirements for the game. They claim that they run it regularly on an iMac 500 with OS X and 256MB ram. I find this terribly hard to...

    Help plz - Troubleshooting X + games....

    Just played a bit of 4X4 EVO booted into 9.2.2. The game runs ok, but will finally freeze solid after about 2 minutes of actual game play. I have alloted 125000K ram to it (yes - it played a bit longer before lock-up, but still locked up). Giants Citizen Kabuto will not run under less than...

    Entourage and Print error....

    Well.... I decided to try printing from Entourage this afternoon. Print Center crashed again with the same error. I had to do some electrical work (replace outlet) so I shut down the computer and the circuit breaker. When I finished, I booted back up and tried to launch...
