Nah, it doesn't work. It won't let me change anything because I use PPPoE so everything is greyed out.

Well, if you want to compare XP to OS X, here's one for you. My PC Pentium II 333mhz Hewlett Packard 288mb RAM Windows XP Professional SP1 52x CD Rom GeForce2 32mb my iMac G3 333mhz 96mb RAM mac OS X.2 (not even X.2.1) 24x CD Rom 6mb video RAM. It takes my PC 5 minutes to get...

I think you should try to get it cleaned, or even better, bring it into an AppleCentre and see if they can clean it for you, or replace the fan. One of my PC friends had a pc where the fan screwed up, and his Duron melted his motherboard. No joking. Green goo :S

I was experiementing with the dock colour changer thing in Jaguar, and I didn't like it withoput a background. I changed it back. I just logged into the root user (I'm still there, god help me) and this dock has no background! None of the users on this mac, apart from mine, have abackground! How...

How do I change my network address? Mine's something like \\i105-251.nv.iinet.net.au which is really hard to remember ;) Is there a way to change it to something like 192.168.95.4 (my school's proxie address)? I use an ethernet ADSL modem. That makes a difference doesn't it?

Yeh. The button will say Browse if you're in the library, Import if you have an Audio CD in the drive, Burn when you're in a playlist, and Options when you have the Visualizations running. Are you trying to copy a CD directly? If so, you can't do that with iTunes. What you have to do is...

Hehe, well, as I am a McDonald's employee, I can tell you EXACTLY how dangerous the Quarter Pounders are, and how dangerous the thick shakes are :P Did you know a small McDonald's thick shake has the same amount of fat as a cheeseburger?

I've had the same kind of thing happen to me on Internet Explorer 4 on Windows 98. I don't know what caused it, but all the elements in the Preferences dialogue were random stuff like "Tim, we've gotta add some random proxie crap here" and "Tim, I think we should take this shit out of here"...

Actually, the easiest way to install Explorer was to just gt it though the Mac OS Software Update. It did it wall for me, installed an iPod update (useless, cause I don' thave an iPod... yet) and restarted my mac. No shitty explorer installer.

If office v.X is carbon, how come it won't run under OS 9? I thought that carbon worked on both?

That's one thing I like. When i see that Australia has something more advanced than the USA ;) We use the GSM 800/1600 bands. That's our dual band phones, and we have a coupel of Tri Bands phones. It's funny, these work in any country.... except the USA and Japan. In the USA, you have...

I'm going to add my views to this 'discussion'. One of the things that I loved about my mac was that I could get this great mac.com email address that meant that I couls show off to everyone that I used a great machine (and provided advertising for apple), but that was taken when the .mac was...

I would like to see AMD making chips with the PowerPC achitechture, but I know why that won't happen. IBM/Motorolla have that, and anyway, isn't the PowerPC architechture what's limiting the speeds of the macs already? I just don't want to have to go though a transition like the 68k to PPC again.

You can't get past the AirPort slot without voiding the warantee. The memory slots and the AirPort slot are as far in as possible.

Since when did iMac have a spare drive bay?

Depends on the options you choose. I seem to recall mine taking beteen 900mb and 1.1gb.

Can't you just get Mail to allow to decrypt the authorization to the keychain? Everytime I do a system update Mail asks me to allow access to the keychain. I never get asked to Authenticate.

Does anyone know of any software that will work with my Nokia 5510 and the USB cable that it came with? Either to transfer music to it, or to manage phone stuff?

Well, i have that model iMac, with only 96mb of RAM running OS X.2 fine... maybe I'm just lucky ;)

I just checked, and yes, you can import a MIDI file into iTunes 3 and 3.0.1 and then select it and choose Advanced > Convert Selection to MP3
