The background of the situation: The volume that is being mounted is on an Iomega NAS A300u running some variant of UNIX. I am pushing our Mac users to connect via SMB due to the NAS unit not being able to show AFP clients files whose names are longer than 31 characters. My current problem...

Good interview... I should stop by here more often (thanks for the link).

I liked the round guy in the background with the wide stance.

That solution would be the simplest perhaps, but I wouldn't have complete control of my music library. I can't purchase music from the store or create playlists, for example. We both have our own iPods and it would be handy to manage them on our own accounts.

The quest is to easily manage the same body of music on multiple accounts; mine and my wife's. The solution thus far is to place the entire iTunes folder (which would normally be located in each user's Music folder) into Users > Shared > iTunes and replacing each user's iTunes folder with an...

I am also not as interested in the iPhone due to the way it is permanently installed, just like iPods. As far as I can tell, the biggest problem with the iPod (and the reason people buy new iPods) is because the battery eventually loses its endurance. I recently paid $95 ($50 for parts / $45...

Subject kinda says it all... there are plenty of washable or otherwise spill resistant keyboards that exist for PC. I'm looking for one that is made for the Mac. Bluetooth wireless is a plus. If none exist, I wonder if it's not that big of a deal to use a PC (USB) keyboard with a Mac -...

Looks like Evolis made this news announcement on August 11, 2006:

Hooray! I checked Evolis' website on a whim today and they now list the following drivers for Mac: EvolisCardPrinter-10.3.9.pkg.zip EvolisCardPrinter-10.3-2.1.pkg.zip EvolisCardPrinter-10.4-2.1.pkg.zip I was also surprised to see they now offer Linux support, so 'woo-hoo'. I'm going to stop...

For anyone finding this post interesting I thought I'd add... The HP laptops (we purchased two total, possibly a 3rd one soon) do NOT have any backup/recovery CDs or DVDs. After you startup the computer there's a program called "HP Backup and Recovery Manager" that encourages you to burn your...

Aye, I understand that the MacBook Pro is a superior product in many ways, but that's the problem... I just couldn't spec out a truly fair shootout. The major factors were screen size and price. Apple just doesn't offer a lower cost 17" laptop. I often have to spec out new machines and I...

I don't come here too much anymore, but I thought it might be interesting to see the decision in a laptop shoot-out I put together for my dad / boss today. It is intended to run FileMaker, routine web browsing, word processing, and SolidWorks (CAD software). HP nx9420 (Mid-Range option)...

Huh... didn't realize that. OK, good to know. Thanks for the info.

I've got Virtual PC 7 with Windows XP Professional as part of MS Office 2004 for Mac. It's got three CDs for the VPC part. I'm wondering if I can use those CDs (or at least the activation code) for use with a new Intel based Mac / PC workstation. This will replace my existing VPC setup, so...

It's not so pathetic once you remember that Apple was forcing Best Buy to purchase iMacs on palettes, with all different colors. Best Buy only wanted to stock the most popular colors (Indigo and some other color). Best Buy dropped the original iMacs because of this issue. I would too...

We are setting up our new Kyocera Mita KM-2550 in the office and have the faxes and scans setup to be deposited on a publicly-shared folder on a Windows XP Pro workstation. Authentication is handled via a domain controller on a separate server. Windows users can log in, view, move / rename...

Several months late, but I'm researching my own file sharing problems so I came across this thread. Could this have anything to do with the fact that Macs can read NTFS formatted volumes, but cannot write to them?
