    What's your Instant Messenging application ?

    Mmmh, well most ppl I know use Yahoo/ICQ or AIM. Dunno about MSN (I refuse to prostitute my privacy). Anyway, that's also Europe I'm talking about. It depends on a lot of factors. Anywy, I'm mostly doing Yahoo (which could bring out a better Mac version !).

    Graphics card for G4/PCI (Yikes)

    I received word from PowerLogix asking them whether 800/1000MHz upgrades would be made available fot the Yikes (and BW G3s for that matter) as well. The answer was "Yes".

    Virex vs Norton AntiVirus--which is better?

    Well, I think the idea is to buy an umbrella *before* the rain starts... I agree with you tho', for me Anti Virus software (especially now on OS X) has always been more of a pain than a benefit. I do have both Norton and Virex but they're just waiting on my HD, not actively installed. Just in...

    Graphics card for G4/PCI (Yikes)

    I can but agree. Me too, I'm not going to mess around with my machine because I rely on it home&work. Actually, I got the very first G4 in town ! I went to the only shop that had it. The guys wouldn't even sell it, telling me "it's the only one I got !" (apparently they wanted to fiddle around...

    Graphics card for G4/PCI (Yikes)

    512MB, that certainly sounds alright. Well, I just used the default settings on a 15" TFT display. It really runs okay. I would have to check the settings... However I didn't alter any of the parameters, if that helps you... Well, perhaps the question should be put to more ppl in order to...

    Graphics card for G4/PCI (Yikes)

    Thank you all for your input. I actually ordered the new card. lasmith5, that's strange. I have absolutely no problem playing WarCraft 3 even with my old graphics card. Perhaps more RAM would help ?

    Graphics card for G4/PCI (Yikes)

    Ooops, about the DVD thing. Actually, I bought the CD drive one too. However, I upgraded it with a Toshiba combo (was available for about $160 2+ years ago). That one does CD(-RW) and DVD. Works great with Apple's DVD player. The combo was never advertised for the Mac (it's supposed to be PC...

    Graphics card for G4/PCI (Yikes)

    Wow, that's about the best info (real experience) I could hope for. Thank you! Well, I was aware that Quartz Extreme isn't for us, so GUI sugar candy will continue to drain on the CPU... The other points sound encouraging and seem to make the purchase worth while. I'm currently at 512MB RAM...

    Problem with burnt CD

    Well, that method is not recommended for Audio CDs. It's okay for data backup but shouldn't really be used for music. I recommend you use iTunes (which is a free download at APPLE) . It lets you create playlists and you can burn them effortlessly. You can even choose to make it a mp3 or...

    Encoding DVDs in MPEG4

    Well, perhaps not too helpful but, if any of you read German, there's the latest issue of the german Mac magazine "MacLife" featuring a tutorial to that regard. From the description: "You wanna know how to create mpeg4 videos from DVDs and burn them on CD ? ...5 page, step by step tutorial..."...

    Graphics card for G4/PCI (Yikes)

    Hello everyone, I'm thinking of giving my G4/400 Yikes a new Graphics Card. What would you recommend ? I was looking at the Radeon 7000 (PCI). What does Nvidia have ? Any suggestions ? Thanks for your help !

    Software Update problem

    Did you install the latest security update ? If so, there will be no other (even older) updates available. That's a known issue and apparently, Apple is looking into it.

    Quicktime 6

    Well, I just checked back with MacBidouille and indeed the original article has been pulled. We now find: "Je suis désolé, mais j'ai décidé de ne plus publier de rumeurs "exclusives". En effet, elles n'apportent rien si ce n'est déranger du monde. Je continuerai à commenter des Rumeurs...

    Quicktime 6

    As far as I can remember (the site is currently down), he said that he "just received the confirmation that the 10.2 CDs are already pressed". He says nothing about other sites AFAIR. He wouldn't say that 10.2 will be there at MWNY but he states "exspect to see it any time now". And he...

    Quicktime 6

    10.2 is ready. The latest "developer seedings" (x8, x9) are incorporating changes due in 10.2.1. Check out MacBidouille to read the story. The article is intitled "Un très habile rideau de fumée". Well, it actually has "trés" but that's a typo. And yes, of course, it's in French... :D
