Does anyone know how to make read/write system calls in a C program. I found a header file "mach_syscalls.h". If I include this header, can I make read/write system calls with it? Also, what are the arguments you need to send to read/write system calls. "#include<fcntl.h>" seems to let me...

Great tip!! BTW, did you just figure this out or are you getting this info from another source?

glowurm, Great info!! That's funny that there still are not any native FireWire devices out (kind of surprising since FireWire has been out for a while). All valid points, but a little too focused on what "might" be a problem for Cube owners. I'm an engineer, but not a hardware engineer...

I played with two monitors for about two months. Unless you're in publishing doing page layout, I don't see any reason to add an extra monitor. I did think twice about the fact you couldn't add an extra monitor. I came to the conclusion that 1600 by 1200 is enough desktop space for me. Having a...

I forgot to mention that I put my drive behind my desk, but my Maxtor FireWire drive is so quiet I don't think it would matter where I put it. My monitor is more noisy than my Maxtor drive, but this is not putting down my ViewSonic at all. The other nice thing about using a FireWire drive is the...

I like the fact that my Cube doesn't have an internal cooling fan because of the noise a fan can create. My Cube was so quiet the noise from my internal ATA HD was starting to annoy me. Apple just released a firmware update for the G4 Cube and this new update now allows Cube owners to boot from...

rharder, I guess I never had an alias of a folder in a folder. That's a neat trick to get an alias in a folder to pop open a sub menu!! I think this site is great, but I think a couple of things can be done better. One thing is to keep postings clear and easy to read. The info you...

pbrice, I didn't think that you should move an alias to the Dock. I was only pointing out to Rob that you could. The rest of your suggestions is exactly how I have my Dock and Application Folder arranged :-)

Rob I think aliases of folders in the dock do work. Are you dragging the alias into the right side of the dock?

I know people have been posting this feature, but I haven't seen anyone mention the big picture of this feature. I have seen postings about dragging your HD icon into the dock and then simply doing a Click/Hold (aka "MouseDown/Hold") on top of the new HD icon in the dock to get a model finder...

I'm running 320M of RAM, and I don't think things are too slow. Of course I don't have anything to compare my speed with, but I just downloaded iTunes and the visual effects mode is AWESOME!! I don't think iTunes taxes system resources much, so that might not be a good performance test. The...
