    G4's and harddrive capacity

    Are you running the 260GB on one FW port all by itself? Leave it all connected and reboot into OSX single user mode. Then let it sit for the amount of time it usually takes for the 260GB to "vanish". If you see something like "IOFireWire...failed...retry", you have a FW port that is bad. I've...

    New Owner! Where to order RAM?

    Where to order RAM? www.memorytogo.com (Excellent service; prices at or near the cheapest; never had a defective module.) Where NOT to order RAM? www.18004memory.com (30% reject rate - personal experience, your mileage may vary)

    How reliable is running OS X from external HD?

    Another contrarian opinion: Replace the internal drive with a much larger one (WD120GB/8MB cache for about $150). Also buy a $50 firewire enclosure. Put the 9GB in the enclosure. Setup the FW drive to be your "emergency" with OSX, OS9.2, and all the utilities (Norton, Disk Warrior, etc.). 9GB is...

    VCD Burning?

    Point your browser to www.dvdrhelp.com All the info and links are there. You can do this without Toast but, frankly, Toast's QT VCD encoder works very well and is worth the $$.

    VCD's and burning

    In order for Toast to burn a VCD, the movie must be in a valid "mpeg-1" format. As you have Toast, you should also have the Toast VCD QuickTime plugin which will permit you to export from iMovie and QT Player (Pro) in the appropriate format. Note that some movies may already be in some sort of...

    "/" in Excel doesn't activate menu anymore

    In older versions of Excel you could use the "/" key to activate Excel's menus; then you could use the arrow keys to navigate through the menu structure before hitting "Return" to actually select the menu command. Is there a way to do this with Office X? Thanks, Barry

    Cannot eliminate OS9 - because of iMovie!

    There have been many discussions about this topic (elsewhere on the web so how would you know?). 1. FireWire hard drives - Nope; can't reliably use them for importing from your camcorder nor exporting to the camcorder from the FW drive. This appears mostly in OSX but has been known to happen...

    Jaguar is $50 off at Amazon!

    So those who bought 10.0 and provided feedback to Apple to correct all of the problems throughout the last 15 months up to the 10.1.5 release get to pay the same price as those who puchased nothing. Consider this: Someone is paying the $50 rebate back to the consumer who purchases 10.2 from...
