Okay - your question interested me as I recently did the search for a new scanner after my trusty old (read 'old') SCSI scanner died... It was a great, solid scanner (they don't make them like that anymore) but it was as slow as a waiting line at the Bank. In the end I got quite confused with...

Okay... been doing my research. It seems that a Quicksilver which has a 344W power supply should be able to handle a 7455B dual 1.33 processor + Radeon 9800 + SCSI drives + more okay. (Concern was raised when a review of this processor card found that it could not work with a Radeon 9800 in...

Hello. I'm wishing to get YOUR opinion on my G4 upgrade dilemma. Now before people start posting abuse - I know this has been done to death, but I still, just wanted to get YOUR opinion. So here goes... I have a G4 867mhz Quicksilver. (I love it - not interested in getting a G5...) I've...

crazy, crazy, crazy... But it looks good, heh. Does this mean that Apple has entered a whole new phase where it actually listens to what its customers want? All I can say is... about time! First thing I did when I got my new G4 Quicksilver (way back then) was to get rid of the Apple Pro...

The only real advantage of turning your Apple computer off (as opposed to sleep) is that the Memory usage is returned to default. This can be a good thing - as having applications open for a long time slowly consume the amount of memory available. And until that apllication is quit, that memory...

I don't know... Check on the Epson website - if there are drivers for 10.3 Panther (or 10.4 Tiger if that's what you have) you're in business.

First, make sure what G3 machine you have. OS X is unsupported on many G3 machines. Apple decided to only support G3 machines with in-built USB. That meant that only the B+W G3's and iMacs were supported. So if you have an older G3 without in-built USB - like a beige G3 you are going to find it...

I would like to voice my experience on defragmentation... Recently decided to do a big clean up. (Now don't get me wrong - my system wasn't that untidy - but after 4 months of heavy use, it was needing a good spring clean...) Having sorted things out (and against better judgement) I decided...

Anyone else?...

Just in case people get the wrong idea... My previous two posts were a 'natural' light-hearted reaction to what is a deadly serious topic. Please don't get me wrong. It's refreshing that Steve Jobs took the initiative to "make that call" - and I highly commend him for doing so. Most other...

• First thing, make sure that you have the right Epson Driver for your OS. (I say this because I had a lot of trouble with my Epson RX510 when Panther changed from 10.3.4 to 10.3.5 - needed new driver and scanning software update.) • When setting printer in 'print utility' - you must change...

I've got an idea. Someone 'should' create a "how to behave in society" podcast. (And make it a mandatory download and listening material to all teens under 18 years of age.) The iPod could become the ulimate tool in behaviour modification...

(...adapted from the movie 'Crocodile Dundee'...) teen 1: "You call that an MP3 player?" teen 2: (...briefly looks down at his new iRiver...) teen 1: "THIS... is an MP3 player!" (...pulls out an iPod...)

Thanks Viro - that's kinda my leaning (and understanding) at the moment also... But of course, having never experienced dual processors - I don't know what the benefits are? Like I said, 867Mhz (at the moment) is not too shabby - but I do want more "grunt". If responsiveness is a main...

Apple dual 1Ghz vs 1.42Ghz Mercury Extreme... > Okay people - I need your advice and thoughts on the following: I have a Quicksilver 867mhz. (I know it's starting to get a bit old skool- but I love it.) Best Apple Mac I've ever had. I spent an enormous amount of time (and money) setting it...

Hey, interesting thread... I'm still with Panther 10.3.9. And loving it! (Quicksilver 867mhz / 1.5GB ram) I decided to hold off upgrading for the following reasons: • I'll wait until version 4.3/4.4 comes out by which time all the main bugs will be ironed out. • Although Wiggets /...

Agreed. Australia of all countries should have got an iTunes store by now...! I guess the small population combined with ARIA's 'bureaucratic' red tape makes it not a high priority for Apple. Come on Aussie (itunes), Come on, Come on...

Correct - all G4 models up until the Quicksilver series have an IDE controller on the motherboard which will only recognise up to 128GB of any drive. At the time of manufacture these G4 towers supported the biggest HD you could get - 140GB (or was it 136GB?). Eitherway, the only way you are...

I've personally always gone with Seagate - very quiet, fast, and never any trouble - at least for me anyway. A friend of mine recently got a Western Digital 80GB - (even after I recommended Seagate) - but it was $15 dollars cheaper at the time. After setting it up for her I couldn't believe both...

I recently got an Epson Stylus Photo RX510. (There is a newer version out now). It's a multi-function: high-res scanner / transparity scanner / fax / colour inkjet printer / photo printer / with memory card reader / etc. After doing my research I concluded that it was the best one of the lot. I...
