Hi My order date was 9/4 (education order). The configuration is: Dual 2 Ghz 512 RAM 160 GB Hard drive 9800 ATI Card No Modem Combo drive instead of the super drive. That's it. David

Happy to report that the G5 will be delivered this afternoon. I saw the photos of Virginia Techs cluster yesterday. Wow... I will post a post script after it is unboxed and booted. Have a good day. David

Good morning It doesn't matter what kind of machine or processor a boot sequence is pretty much similiar. The person that noted that with more RAM the sequence is longer is correct. One of the first steps is to check physical RAM. The more RAM the longer it takes. Also, during the boot...

Hi Everyone Please don't get frustrated or angry, but I received an email last night from Apple that my G5 shipped (Dual). I received free ground shipping and they sent it 2nd day air. Keep in mind this is an educational order. My estimated ship date had been 10/9. If you are still...

The only reason it appears that way is the apparent silence from the "huge" number of pre-orders. I would expect (expectation only) that if the duals were flying out of the factory there would be a ton of stories showing up on the web about everyones new machines. The relative silence gives...

I still wonder how many of the 100,000 have shipped. It sure doesn't sound (from the news on the net) that they are pouring out. I hope you are right about the 1st week in October. The number of people reporting getting duals still seems to be one or two a day (a bit of an exaggeration -...

It looks like they are not rapidly going through their backorder list. If you ordered on July 2 and just got a ship date, I don't see how they will hit my ship date of 10/9 when I ordered 9/4. I wouldn't be surprised if the dates slip. Still haven't heard of a flood of machines coming out...

The way this is communicated it does not give a lot of reassurance. I certainly hope you get yours soon. My order date was 9/4 so the estimated lead time was just over a month. On the phone they indicated there was a possibility for a sooner ship date, but I have not heard a ton of news of...

I ordered about three weeks ago and I was told 10/9. In the three weeks that date hasn't changed. I wish it was more clear if they were updating it or not.

Hi I like to use the Finder windows in Column (list) mode. However, many windows don't come up that way by default (rather in Icon mode). Also, I like to use the type and size columns and they are never visible when a window first comes up so I am resizing the windows all the time. Is...

Hi When I create a new folder, for a split second it the name bar is highlighted for editing (so you can name the new folder), then it immediately snaps out of that state before I do any user input so these folders are always named "untitled folder". I then have to click on them to change...

I tried everything and nothing worked. Finally I used Drive 10 and it appears to have corrected the problem. It did note however, that there were unusual changes -> so I can not as of yet guarantee that this utility did resolve the issue. I tried both fsck directly in single user mode and...

Hi I have tried to individually empty each folder into the trash. When I do that it returns that it can not be deleted because it is in use. When I try sudo rm -r * the terminal response is that the directories inside of temp-furthur are not empty. When a run ls -a (-Rqa) the only...

Thanx I tried that but the terminal response is: Last login: Thu Aug 22 16:55:40 on ttyp1 Welcome to Darwin! [24-196-147-92:~] darmour% sudo rm -r ~/Desktop/temp-furthur rm: /Users/darmour/Desktop/temp-furthur/aru1994-03-26.shnf: Directory not empty rm...

I have a directory named temp-furthur which contains three directories each of which appear to be empty both from the Finder as well as the Terminal. When I try and empty the trash it comes back in use, while rm indicates the directories are not empty. I have tried rm inside the directory...

When I put the folder (directory) into the trash it will not delete because it says it is being used. The directory has no visible contents (including through the terminal). I have tried rm inside the directory and then rmdir of the directory and still no go (it claims that the directory is...

Hi I just encountered for the second time in two days a boot sector error on the OS X partition. I don't know if it is some OS X software I am installing or booting back into OS 9, but something is messing with the boot sector. I installed: Docking Manuvers Drop Things and a few other...

Hi Last night I installed several pieces of software including the RDBMS OpenBase. Several of them generated a Apple Event error during the de-compress and un-archiving process. I booted into OS 9 for my family after the installation. Today at the end of the day I went to boot into OS X...

Hi I want to have several applications automatically load at boot and/or login. I do not see where there is a start up directory or some such thing to either throw the app or an alias? How is this done? David Armour
