    What crashes your X?

    The only thing that crashed my computer was when I was trying to copy some files from my Windows XP computer running PC Maclan via Appletalk. I do this all the time, mount my windows volume on my Mac desktop and drag and drop my documents from the PC to my Mac. For some reason my Mac did not...

    Advantages & Disadvantages of Partitioning

    I did say I have more than one OS and I do have separate partitions for each. I suggested that IF you had more than one OS then you should have a separate partition for each.

    Advantages & Disadvantages of Partitioning

    I always partition my drive, one for Mac OS 9, one for Mac OS 10, and one as a storage dumpster. If YOU have more than one OS on the computer you should install each OS on a different partition so you can switch between the two at startup with the option key

    .mpg movie

    Quick question. I know next to nothing about mpg or mpeg. I have a movie file that has the extension .mpg. It will not play in Windows Media Player or Quicktime on Mac OS X or 9 because it says a piece of software needed could not be found. I have the exact same file on my Windows XP machine and...

    Favourite Rumorsite

    I think Think Secret is the best because they have good information that is not far fetched. Macrumors is also good because they have a great message board. The others I don't visit often. mosr.com used to be on the top of my list too but they don't update enough to keep me reading.

    Does anyone know what this is?

    I was looking at Newton stuff and I came across this on ebay.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1342929621 It is obviously old, does anyone know what it is? I have never seen anything like it before. By the time I posted this it went up by $60!

    Maybe I'm a moron, but here's what I am doing...

    Another option you could consider is getting the PowerBook G3 Pismo - 400 MHz. You could probably get one for less than $900. You could still get your iPod that way. I would do that myself if I were going to downgrade and get an iPod.

    The older iBook does look good, I personally really liked the indigo one. I wish Apple would bring out computers with colors like they did! 800x600 will look much better on the older iBook than the new one. You will have to post your thoughts about your new setup when you get it. Have fun...

    Maybe I'm a moron, but here's what I am doing...

    The big bad thing about the pre dual usb iBook is the fact that the screen resolution is 800x600 not 1024x768 like the dual usb. Mac OS X is awful at 800x600. Second the older iBook is rather bukly and has a lot of extra plastic so it is much larger. Those two things are what drove me to buy the...

    Where are the dang rumors?

    I highly doubt that would happen. The price and specs make no sense.

    MacOS X? Nice but simply too slow ...

    What bothers me about OS X to no extent is the fact that dialog boxes and popup windows are so slow in appearing and windows don't gain and lose focus quickly. In OS 9 when you went to empty the trash or open preferences in some application the dialog box would pop up instantly and all the...

    Where are the dang rumors?

    I too have noticed that the rumor sites have been rather quiet lately. What has me rather annoyed is there has been almost no word about 10.2 lately. IE any build newer than 6B11. I will be severely disappointed if there is no word about OS 10.2 on Thursday.

    real media player for OS X

    Usually most sites have an option to choose between Real Media and either Quicktime or Windows Media. Since both Quicktime and Windows Media work with a Mac who cares about Real? I gave up on Real a long time ago.
