    Install Panther on a blank harddrive

    The issue of whether it's wise or not largely depends on what you plan on doing with your mac. Partitioning is a good start, especially with such a large drive. However, it is entirely up to you whether you partition it or not. It isn't a requirement...

    Install Panther on a blank harddrive

    I might be stating the obvious here, but do you want to use the _whole_ 120gig hard drive for the boot disk? One word: partition .. lot's of them...

    G5 better than AMD / Intel?..

    ElDiabloConCaca's right. What's the rush? There's always someone holding out for the next big thing. What I tend to do -- and I know this is some part a retraction of what I said earlier -- is wait for the new models to come out and grab an EOL model with all of the bells and whistles...

    G5 better than AMD / Intel?..

    I'm actually a little miffed right now. I'm quite skint / broke, and what a time for it! The pound is killing the dollar. So £1,500.00 would snag me $2,900.00 or thereabouts. I'm sickened... ::evil::

    G5 better than AMD / Intel?..

    It's certainly a thrilling prospect. I'm still a good year from an upgrade to my workstation. I'm merrily typing away on my Quicksilver G4, which has served me very well. When I do get around to the update, I'm going to go the whole hog this time -- the fastest dual processor model...

    QuickTime needs a quick fix...

    Well if QuickTime [the component, not the player] isn't embedded, first try taking it out -- assuming the system will let you. Assuming even further you have managed to pull it out, try running any application and see what you get? If that's not embedded, then I don't know what is. But...

    fat kids...

    Although not a solution for kids, I find sex to be an excellent form of aerobic exercise. Problem is, after a good shufty, you're absolutely starving... :D

    QuickTime needs a quick fix...

    Maybe all you've got to do is launch the damn thing! Problem is for mac users, QuickTime is embedded into the system. So it begs the question: does this leave us with big back door into our systems?..

    Steve Capps not happy with current UI's

    We have an old expression; don't put the cart before the horse. Before you do anything, you might want to create some simple prototypes in something like html or if you have the time and experience, in Macromedia Flash. Once you've done this, get people sat in front of it and show them...

    Steve Capps not happy with current UI's

    You're most likely to hear these people spout disparaging and uncomplimentary remarks about Apple et al, yet you rarely hear them talk about how they were a part of one of the most significant decades in computing history .. while working for one of the most influential companies in computing...

    fat kids...

    What irks me is when fat people make an issue of this and start screaming: 'discrimination'. I'm 6 foot 7 inches and a shade over 17 stone in weight. I'm actually quite well built, so it's not like I'm fat, but the same rules apply. I can't sit comfortably in a cinema, small cars are a...

    ftp server doesn't accept users

    That might have had an influence on things, to say the least! If you're running an Xserve, you really ought to be using a UPS. They're not that expensive and they are worth every penny. So far, I've weathered two storm-induced black outs, numerous brown outs and a plethora of fuses...
