The scanning software you are looking for is something called Optical Character Recognition, or OCR. I do not know of any freeware/shareware programs that do OCR. There are several commercial apps available for OS9...

You are thinking about the cache thing all wrong. It won't provide the cut and dry performance increases you are looking for. More L2 cache will prevent the processor from waiting for instructions. It will decrease the frequency that the processor has to ask (and then wait) for...

Solrac was the first person I know of to start spelling things in the dock. You can find the original thread HERE . To spice up this thread a little bit, here is the pic: FaRuvius

I agree, that looks close. But it still looks black, or grey, whereas the pic in the ad nearly white. Somebody's been playing gratuitously with photoshop...... FaRuvius

Price is 1735 euros = $1500 US dollars. FaRuvius

Saw this dell advertisement over at C|Net. The notebook in this picture looks suspiciously like an iBook, but at the same time, not an iBook. But the kicker is, I can't find a notebook on Dell's website that looks ANYTHING like this one they have pictured here. Is Dell using the slick...

My friend should be getting his guitar late this summer. To add to his collection of like 12 other guitars. Speaking of two drummers, my fraternity had a band with two drummers. One good drummer and me banging around, with 2 guys on bass, a keyboardist, and Seth on guitar. The lead singer...

One of my college buddies is an amazing guitar player. While I don't play guitar myself(I'm more of a drum kinda guy), I loved chatting guitars with him. He actually is fortunate enough to be buying a custom guitar from Doug Irwin. Before I knew the history of Mr. Irwin, I was amazed that...

Jerry Garcia played them, Doug Irwin made them. Doug gets to keep two, and the GD Productions keeps the other two. I wouldn't mind having one of those. It'd go for millions on eBay. FaRuvius

I have been searching for a way to do bin/cue files for a really long time! Will have to try this when I get back to my mac! FaRuvius

The great thing about MacOSX, is that you only need ONE button. Yet it has support for up to 27 buttons. If you want extra buttons, you can get them through a 3rd party. But you will never NEED more than one to do ANYTHING. This is a good thing. FaRuvius

This is really the first time that the computer has really taken a shift in terms of presentation. Why does a computer need to be a box? This iMac will hopefully break that mold in a way the cube tried but failed. FaRuvius

Damn, blingbling.... What'd you do? trade in the ice from around your neck? Thats some serious Kaysh you just dropped.... Don't worry tho, i just did the same, but for a TiBook! FaRuvius

The iBooks are underpowered. But they are fairly inexpensive... Perhaps an iBook could be an interim portable while saving money for the soon(hopefully) to be upgraded desktop machines....... But on the other hand, the G3 is obviously getting phased out...... Decisions decisions...

Which new toy should I purchase? I just sold my 466 g4, and I wished that it were a little bit faster...

additional harddrives additional video cards PCI cards multiple optical drives etc But you are absolutely right. Everything is overpriced/underpowered compared to the new iMacs. FaRuvius
