I agree that the 200MHz x86 may be a bit weak, but would do the trick. The RPM Database used to run off a K6-2/450 with 512MB RAM. The B&W G3 sounds very nice, but I'd definitely recommend using a Server OS. Panther is nice, but is still a Desktop OS. Panther Server would do, but you don't...

Apple have published a great document call Designing AirPort Networks. If you read through it, you may find that you can configure the Extreme (connected to the Modem) as WDS Main Base Station and the old AirPort as a WDS Remote Base Station. I understand that WDS permits Roaming between...

Try DivX Doctor and DiVa. DivX Doctor converts DivX Video to 3ivX Quicktime. DiVa can be used to convert MPEG1 and MPEG2 to Quicktime-supported formats, and supports Cropping and Rescaling. Great for "Backing up" your DVD's to 3GPP so you can play them on your Mobile Phone ;)

Yes, use the 3rd Drive as a DV Scratch disk. Although HFS+ handles Fragmentation ridiculously well, it can still get fragmented if you move large files around on it a lot, and if the two RAID Drives get too full (which can happen real quick with DV) they can be a bit tricky to tidy up. Also...

Freiheit, Since MacOS X Mounts all non-boot Volumes in the /Volume Folder of the filesystem it makes more sense to keep everything on the same Partition. MacOS X uses a very specific Filesystem structure, and doesn't easily permit you to mount Volumes in those specific Folders. Traditional...

If you use the mini-iTunes mode, (by pressing the Green (+) maximize button), it'll take up less screen, and you'll be able to easily ignore it when you open a new Sound File.

No, I haven't used Windows as my Main Computer for almost 5 years. I live in an OpenSource World, a World which Apple Computer are relying on for most of their Security updates. Apple Patches for Vulnerabilities in Samba, SSH and even Kerberos have been provided to Apple Computer from Open...

That's why I dislike .Mac being Integrated with MacOS X. It's similar to how Microsoft have bundled Passport as an integral part of Windows. Many Windows Features can be accessed without having access to the passport server. If you want to use iCal within your Corporate Network, you could...

Actually, Security Through Obscurity used to be Microsoft's policy during the Rise of NT. They actually had Marketing Campaigns about how NT was secure because it was "New Technology", and "Hackers" (crackers) didn't know how to get into it. This was about the same time as some kids I knew were...

First Make sure "Personal File Sharing" is enabled on both Machines. Secondly, physically network the two machines together. My recommendation is to use two ethernet cables to hook them up to your Router, if you haven't already. If you want to create an Ad-Hoc network, you should be able to...

30GB in iBook 20GB in External FW Drive 6.4GB on BeOS Machine 2GB on Linux Machine I still have; 19GB free on iBook 9GB free on FW Drive (for Backups) 6GB free on BeOS Machine on separate Partitions. I'm experimenting with OpenBeOS Debian Machine is Maxed Out. I should uninstall some...

To Qualify what Randman said; To install Tiger on your Machine, you'll have to purchase a copy, which is likely to be about $129.00. Generally OS Updates include the latest iLife releases, so I would personally wait until iLife 5.0 gets released, and see if I could then update them both for...

iBlog is quite good, It will work with any Web Server which supports Plain HTML. It generates Static Pages locally, which are then uploaded to your Web Server. It works over FTP or WebDav, so your iDisk and .Mac account can be used. Unfortunately, when I tried it a year ago, it didn't "Sync"...

But your Door being unlocked by a Toothpick doesn't effect your Neighbors house. If Everyone in your Block of Flats had Dodgy front door locks, and one person discovered it, I'd expect that person to tell everyone in the Block, so that everyone can make sure it was fixed. If that one person...

If someone noticed that the Front door of my House could be opened with a Toothpick, and told me, I would fix it straight away. If I owned rental properties and one of my Tenants told me that the doors could be opened with toothpicks, I'd have a Locksmith out there fixing the locks as soon as...

Good Set of Rumours on Apple Insider. The two issues I have are any suggestion of WebKit in Finder. The Finder is for Finding and Managing Files. Not for Web browsing. The other is the increasing reliance on .Mac. If the profitability of .Mac is failing due to lack-of-interest, it's not going...

Do you have a mini-VGA port? it's a small (12mm) D-shaped Port with 14 internal contacts (7 on the top, 7 on the bottom) It has a 15th contact, which is the shield around the outside of the D. My Dual USB iBook has one of these ports, and supports both the mini-VGA to VGA adaptor (which came...

I still think they should've bought Be Inc, but Palm beat them to it. Palm got back what they paid for Be when the Be vs MS Court Case was Settled, and also got all the Be Engineers. They are now just sitting on the BeOS codebase and patents When Palm go bust (hey, they dropped support for...

Would you rather have them lugging a US$1500 (or AU$3000) iBook? Meanwhile, they have their $600 Mobile Phones, with $100 per month SMS Bills. When it comes down to it, a $500 iPod doesn't seem that bad. I know what I'd rather give a 12 year old Child.

The last time I used WordPerfect for Linux, It was such utter Crap, I immediately uninstalled it. For a background, I used to use WP Suite 7 and 8 in Windows, before Switching to Linux, and loved it. I hated having to use WinWord 6 or 95, since it didn't support "Reveal Codes" due to a design...
