I've just got my used PowerBook G4 (17"), and I'd like to see how it perform in gaming. But I was a little suprised when I realized the difficulty to find the official mac demo versions of the latest years most popular 3d games. Mainly, I'd like to know where I can download a legal copy of the...

Well, no. But I have the Classic environment installed on my Mini running Tiger. Will that do?

Is thre any way to get a hold of the original desktop pictures once included in Mac OS 8 / 9? I'd like to have them in my OS X system ;-). Or do I already have them? Is this something that one of you guys might upload, for me to download, or something? I'm talking about the large resolution...

Folk's, for the sake of argument and to maintain the quality of this board: We have different views of some tuff. Mainly because we're not sharing each others machines. That no criminal act, and there are parts of OS X that I too think is bloat, and there are things that I think are as far off...

Well, I can't do anything but agree with that. And thinking about it, I am amazed how NEW Mac OS X 1.4 is compared to 10.0. Or let's face it, different from 10.3. Most Windows using folks won't notice that, because to them, Aqua is still Aqua, and there's no change in the operating system as...

Yes. Keeping a program, and things equalivent to .dll in a .app folder automatically springs to mind, and obviously it works better. I am interested in your remark about Windows Vista, and people stopped caring? Can you explain that further? Please do.

Personally, I think that the most critical failure of Microsoft was not to build up their Windows software product line around Windows NT, but instead using MS-DOS based Windowses, all the way to the late 90's with Windows Me. Sure, Windows NT based system wouldn't save the world from the...

Well, it all boils down to the fact of market share. It's market share that makes viruses worth coding. Even if I ended up with OS X mainly because I've beviously been a Linux fan, I am not tehnically skilled enough to judge the different kinds of vulnerabilities towards viruses and worms...

Well, yes, it is possible to having a smooth Widnows based PC. Key is, I think it requires to much work to maintain a Windows PC, rather than /just start using it/.

At any rate, this is a pure and from-the-real-world example just why I got myself a Mac Mini. With the current price on the Mini, getting out of the drooling lobotomized look of the install-this-to-avoid-spyware mediocrity has never been easier. I'd urge everyone to Switch. Now. Because...

In 1996, when the really cool things tech in my life was the ability to run Heretic at a blazingly new speed at a Pentium 75, I never thought I'd switch to a Macintosh. Ever. The reason, back then, was "the lack of software" often talked about. Meaning, when young gamers like me back then ever...

Well, it ain't among the alternatives here, but dear God, have a glance at the Portable, from 1989: "The best thing about the Portable was probably the five-to-ten-hour lead-acid (no memory effect!) battery. Options included an internal modem and either a numeric keypad or trackball."...

Hello folks. I will just drop a few lines to see if anyone else ever heard of a similar problem and what I might do to get it right. I have a Mac Mini (Mac OS X 10.4.4), and a Nokia 6680 mobile phone. Since I got my Mini I've been using the Bluetooth synch function to keep the Adress book...

Hi there. I've been using my new Mac Mini now for roughly three months, and I must say it kept up with my expectations for it. I went from a used PowerMac G4@350Mhz/512Mb to the current "middle" model of the Mini. It generally has an uptime of ten days, and the only reason why it needs a...

Problem solved. Embarrassing enough, as it turns out, i had not yet set the DVD region for my drive.

I've had my Mac Mini for roughly two months now, and by all means it was a successful upgrade from my previous configuration; a PowerMac G4@350/512Mb. However, panic and destruction stuck this afternoon, when I was about to copy the contents of a dvd disc to a folder on my hard disc. This is...

Hello folks! I've guessed I messed around with things I shouldn't even have touched. I want to know how the defaults of the settings on http://dalo.berzen.se/pic1.png ? If someone could go through each option-by-option and post it here, if you are sure you haven't messed around with them...

Hi folks. I couldn't find any information at this, and what I did find elsewhere on the web was aimed for mirrored drive doors G4. Obviously, I don't have that kind of machine. I'm using a rahter old PowerMac G4 (350MHz) with PCI graphics. I love this machine, but I would like to enjoy the...

I'm not that sure this is really a software question, but it's my safest guess. Also tried to find threads already dealing with the subject, but with no luck. It's all rather simple: I now have a PowerMac G4. When I'll get a Mini in about a month or so, I wont go with the Superdrive one...
