    DVR newbie - need some recommendations :)

    Speaking as a long time tivo user, I cannot say enough good things about the tivo units and service. It's so easy to use, and the monthly fee is not that big of a deal honestly. I use 2, a old Sony Series 1 unit, and a newer Humax 80 hour with DVD recorder. It's soooo nice to be able to slap...

    iPod headphone jack

    Or you could pry the ipod apart and glue/solder the jack back to solidville. If its that old, its not under warranty anyhoo right.

    Unreal for OS X?

    As far as I know, there is no Unreal app or patch for OS X. The only one done was Glenda Adams (co-founder of Westlake Interactive, moved to Aspyr) for Unreal Tournament. And it never really got developed fully and was unofficial. It required the Mac version of the game CD to work. Unless you...

    Macromedia MX 2004

    Nope. If I cant afford it, I find an alternative that is cheaper, use an old version I own or buy used or just do without. And if I make money on a job, I put some of that money towards the more expensive programs that will help me make money later. It sucks when I make X dollars on a job...

    Macromedia MX 2004

    People are always complaining about spending money on software, yet they turn around and use it to earn their living. This is silly. If you are a casual user, the 30 day trial should be plenty to play with the software. And if you truly like it, and use it, or earn money by using it... pay...

    Vector graphics

    I personally prefer Freehand most of the time but was an illustrator user since it was released ages ago as Illustrator 88. Inkscape looks interesting as well, but I have not tried it. Not really seen anything else that is worth investigating.

    Recharging an iPod mini using USB1.1

    Apple says 4 hours for a full charge. I would assume that the kind of USB would not be relevant since they both pull the same power.

    Macromedia MX 2004

    Yeah, goto www.macromedia.com to the download section for a good copy. You will get a full functional 30 day trial, and the option to purchase it after that.

    Website Design

    Located in the US here... only 2:31pm right now, the day is young! Your question regarding sharing your connection. I would say go with the network card over the USB, it will provide faster access (since USB is slower even if its USB 2 than what a PCI card could provide at 100baseT)

    pictures

    Its not bad for what it does, organize photos. It's really designed to be a simple tool for organizing and sorting your pictures. But also to help Apple sell their photo books, etc. I found that if you have lots of pictures, its really more of a pain than anything. When I got over several...

    Website Design

    The startup stuff is located in Preferences > Users. Each user has a place to add login/startup items. I think you can mount the drive, then add it to this place adn it will mount each time. The Applescript. I dont have it here (at work), it has its downside if you are worried about...

    pictures

    Yep, iPhoto will give you some editing funcionality. If thats not enough there are affordable shareware and commerical alternatives that are more powerful, like GraphicConverter and Adobe Photoshop Elements.

    Best Vesion of OSX for iBook G3/300 Rev B.

    You can always put Tiger on it and see how it performs and then go to an alternatiev previous version if needed.

    You can use an applescript to auto mount that drive at boot... thats what i do, it sends the info and the drives come up from my other machines. I believe you can also add the drive to your startup items and it will mount but not sure on that one as ive never tried it.

    Need help with image manipulation

    Just do a search on google for photoshop tricks and tips, that sort of thing. If you are a book kind of person there are some good books out there as well. Some of the things you want to do are pretty simple. Example, if you want to do a gradient transparency... take the image you wish to...

    Upside Down Monitor

    Yes, Tiger does offer the monitor rotate... however, for everyone else using an ATI card, their control panel (and the latest firmware update) offers the same functionality. Actually ATI has been doing VersaVision for quite a bit longer than Apple.

    Upside Down Monitor

    If you update to the latest ATI control panel (assuming you still use its ATI Rage card) you should be able to rotate it around 180 degrees with that using VersaVision. (Not sure if its supported on the cube) http://www2.ati.com/drivers/macosx-ati-displays-4-5-1.dmg
