Welcome to the Mac fray andy! Congrats on your new Mini. I know I love mine, and it's just one of many Macs I've owned over the years. I noticed that the startup sound comes out the little speaker too, I could not find a way to change it or turn it off, aside from disconnecting the speaker...

Are you doing cylinder or cubic VRs? While cylinders are easier (pan the camera around a central point and stitch) the cubics are much prettier I think. And Apple has some old tools on their site to do these still. To shoot small rooms, even tho its a pain, it helps to break the wall into a...

I posed this questoin on another forum and it was suggested that this could possibly be a task for a haxie or similar. Viro - when I said secondary I was refereing to those who use it literally as a place to put pallettes and lesser used items, but where they still use the main display for...

Dreamweaver is definately not for beginners, but if you are somewhat adept at learning stuff you will find it isn't that difficult. The firs thing is to learn not to be overwhelmed by all it does. It has some definate strengths, and some weaknesses. I love that it can essentially handle...

Yes, I can also recommend NVu. I use it when I need down and dirty editing and don't want to fire up DreamWeaver.

I think the only solution to this would be to mirror the menu bar itself onto both displays. Might be possible for the display drivers to do this, who knows. However I don't see the problem since most who use 2 displays are using 1 as their primary and the other is secondary so it doesnt need...

Actually the VNC solution is better, partly because Remote Desktop ONLY works with Windows XP Pro, and Windows Server hosts. XP Home Edition and 98(se) are excluded. You will need a VNC host for your Windows machine and a VNC client for your Mac. Once it is setup it works great. A nice way to...

I use an AppleScript I made into an app that runs at startup and it works fine. It doesn't check for the machine before hand or anything but it works like a champ. To add multiple drives, just duplicate the "mount" line for each one. AppleScript Code: ----------------- tell application...

I ran iDVD on my 466 for quite sometime with no problems. Those requirements are not really exact, as they are aimed for what Apple considers appropriate performance. On a slower mac, iDVD just takes quite a bit longer to do its thing. I'd bet if you tried it, you would find it worked just...

Definately put some RAM into that sucker ASAP. I'd say skip the 512 and go straight to 1 gig, its cheap and well, its worth it. Mine was painfully slow for a 1.42ghz machine with only 256 (WHY OH WHY do they ship a machine with such inadequate RAM?). Popped in the 1gig (2 minutes start to...

chornbe - The Mini's are solid performers for most users. Mine's quite fast for my needs and handles everything I throw at it (Photoshop, Dreamweaver, DVD building, some gaming, etc) with pep and gusto. Obviously anyone who is doing current gaming or video work should get a tower. But for 95% of...

FYI, I just ordered the $120 USD Pioneer DVR-K04L for my Mini today. I will let you guys know how it works/installs etc.

Not a fan of the magnification thing, works fine in GoogleX, but in real life, it means that your dock, when full, is hard to target. I hate when my icons are moving all over the place left and right.

Yes, possibly. Both support Bluetooth. If you get a mini with bluetooth and a wireless keyboard/mouse. Not sure however (hence the possibly comment) if the Treo supports this. It might out of the box, but its also possible that it requires some software to allow it to recognize the...

I put a DVR-107 into my 466 and it recognized it as if it were Apple's own. Any one of the Pioneer superdrives should work just fine without problems since that is what Apple uses. As far as Dual Layer, Apple doesn't support it yet, but Toast does. And if the majority of the burning you will...

whitesaint - actually yes on the dual sided question. A Dual Sided DVD actually gives you 4.7 x 2 = 9.4 gig of storage. Essentially it is just a regular DVD-R on each side. I've never seen Double Sided DVD-R at any store locally to me, but then again I've never seen Dual Layer either and they...

fyi mwave.com (good prices and selection on PC parts) has the Pioneer DVR-K04L for $115 USD, which I believe is the Dual Layer drive OWC is offering. (I've read reports of people putting these in their minis with no problems.) But OWC's RAM price was unbeatable when I got my 1gig stick for my...

Really sad that we have to beg, plead, demand, and generally go way out of our ways to get something fixed/repaired/taken care of that should have been done the first time we asked. Good luck!

I have a 6100/66AV with upgraded memory (72meg maybe?) that needs a good home. It doesn't work currently that I know of, but there is no HD so I can't test it. Anyone interested in it, it's yours for the cost of shipping within the USA. r

While digging around on this subject I was reminded of what had been and was squashed at Apple. Anyone remember the PC emulator that was part of OSX before it was released to the public? A hacked version that worked with the Public Beta floated around a while but the performance was so bad it...
