I did some investigating when we got our Xerox and it seems that the print core of MacOS X is not that good. I compared Xerox's ppd's for 9 and X and they were exactly the same. And that's the whole idea of ppd's, to have a file that works on any platform. Unfortunately MacOS X's print core...

Do you mean postscript printers? Postscript printers have PPD's (Postscript Printer Description) and they can be opened in a text editor. They are pretty straight forward and it's easy to do a little bit of editing. What kind of editing you had in mind? I edited PPD for Xerox DC2240...

I read from a finnish computer mag that it took 12 hours to finish a 40 gig hard drive. The guy had some serious issues with his powerbook. I think it takes longer if you have good amount of damage in your files... Three hours is not that much;)

The cause of the preferences not "sticking" is that they are saved in ByHost folder in your Library->preferences. And these preferences are hardware specific files -> Different computer cannot use another computers files and so it has to recreate them. Solution is to have a script to change...

In MacOS X Server you can set up print quotas for users. You could perhaps sell prints in advance, i.e. one could buy 50 prints and then you just set up a print quota for 50 prints. Of course you would have to buy MacOS X server. I had the same problem but I couldn't find a better solution...

I mean that sure you can screw it to your rack. It will fit there. The only thing is that it will stick out from the back of your rack. It is 84cm long!! Much longer than synth modules or effects... When I got my Xserve, I was suprised by the size and weight of this thing... You really have...

Xserve is really, really long!! It doesn't fit in regular rack. You really should get measures of the xserve and measure your rack before buying. And they are really loud! I have one of them and it is doing a great job as a server but I couldn't imagine using it for serious music stuff...

I believe that the Soundtrack is only capable of playing loops! You can't record any audio or midi of your own!! Am I right or is this only a bad nightmare. Logic is a very "pro" sequencer and it is used by many studios. You should also be aware of the other sequencer products: ProTools...

Buy a couple of those high-end Xserves and store your account information and home folders there. I have an lab with 12 G4 MDD's and one xserve. This works very well. You can use Workgroup Manager included in MacOS X Server to control what users can or can not do. I am a very happy system...

press alt-command-o-f on startup and you'll get to Open Firmware. Type "eject cd" without the quotes and you can get a very reluctant cd to come out. Open firmware is also useful for resetting nvram and other things. It has helped me a lot. reset-nvram reset-all By the way, Yellow...
