how is that? on my iPod, it loads the first 32 MB of the song into memory and spins the HD down so it won't skip. i know the old firwmare had problems, but the new one is supposed to fix them. Are you up to date boi?

I am trying to write an AppleScript for our computer lab to automate login to my school network. There's a catch though. There are three possible servers somebody can log on to, one for freshman/soph, one for juni/seniors, and one for faculty. Basically, i want to write a script that automates...

maybe you already know, but there is a windows media player for mac. I don't know if it supports wmv version 9, but it's worth a shot.

Yeah, but you gotta admit, it sure is a lot easier using Command. Thumb and index finger doing cmd-s for save as opposed to the pinky-stretch of ctrl-s is a pretty big difference. And Apple also does a much better job of keyboard shortcuts; cmd-w for Window closing, cmd-a for select All...it's...

You two are both falling victim to country bias:). Senne, being in Belgium, has a different keyboard layout...and vice versa for evildan with his US keyboard layout. I like my WallStreet keyboard a lot, it feels a lot nicer than Dell keyboards. I also hear that the AlBook's keyboards are even...

On my WallStreet, it enables the integrated num pad (look at that pdf file for more info). I personally think it is really awkward and never use it, but i guess Apple has to keep up the feature bullet points to compete.

What you're looking for is on the macfixit.com website, but you need to be a subscriber to read the message once it's more than a week or two old. If I remember correctly though it was from 1/27/03, and it said something like putting all the updates on the desktop of the user and running...

Yes...but I still think something is strange because there is no real reason for Apple to implement this. When was the last time you pushed a Windows key on a keyboard plugged into a Mac? Never I imagine. Nothing would happen regardlesss, unless maybe it was Virtual PC. Strange though for Apple...

Try a PRAM reset: restart and hold down Command-Option-P-R until you hear the startup chime go off again (or to really clear everything, hear the startup chime 3 times) and then release everything.

binaryDigit: How do you map a Mac laptop keyboard to a PC? It doesn't detach and connect through USB as you seem to be implying. The only way I can think of is for Virtual PC. senne: I don't actually own a 12", they are too small for my tastes. I'll check on my WallStreet tonight though to see...

The edit post button doesn't allow you to attach pictures? Mods: why not?

Another little interesting fact: The 12" PowerBook will be able to support 1 GB of RAM when the memory manufacturers make the chips small enough. See the next attached picture, same source. (I keep attaching all these pictures :)) The same thing happened to my WallStreet - they eventually made...

Also, anyone with a 12" PowerBook: Do you have Virtual PC? If so, can you customize the keyboard preferences option with the Windows key? And secondly, can you push the contextual menu key in the Mac OS and get a virtual ctrl-click?

Check what exactly with KeyCaps? I just looked at that picture again and it looks pretty blurry so I'll post a zoomed in version.

This is a potentially hot topic :)! Maybe Apple put this in for Virtual PC, maybe it hints that Macs will run Windows, maybe I'm making a big deal out of nothing... But anyway, see the attached image, taken directly from the just-released developer note. At the bottom right are two keys very...

Yeah, where did SimX go? He was a great member.

It's okay to just rename it normally - remember, you're on a Mac - "It Just Works!"* *Well, at least most of the time.

The above post is exactly right, I've got a WallStreet.

I think you have to log in as the original administrator user - if you are using another account, switch to the admin.

Try apple-shift-g, i think it should work.
