i saw a guy on the subway a few days ago with one of those. Nothing like a big sign on your back that says: "Technology inside! Please rob me!" :P

yeah, its pretty bad. I went through Ivan, but we never had anything like this... my heart aches for them. I know what its like to suffer like this, though our suffering ended in a matter of weeks and months-this will take years and generations to overcome... Mdnky, I just noticed your...

my parents purchased a 17" iMac G5 during the aforementioned timeframe and have not experienced any of those issues (in the first post). It is a good buy, and worth it not to have to deal with Windows on a day-to-day basis. Go for it! BTW: props to LT. on the post above (#9). Couldn't have...

would you really watch a movie on your small iPod screen? seems implausible. Even the iPod Photo seemed to be a bit of a stretch, IMO. For someone who enjoys photography immensely, it is "gimmicky" at best. My friend joined the club of "people ripping DVD's to their PDA's" but found the...

the effects of these things are very widespread. my hometown (150+ miles away from New Orleans) is getting some very damaging wind and flooding. not to mention, just under a year ago my town was battered by hurricane Ivan: http://macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?t=46288&highlight=hurricane...

i have last year's PB (see sig.) I play UT2004, WCIII, and WoW mostly. They all run beautifully. No problems (except on the server side of WoW-- LAG!!! lol). I bumped mine up to 1GB of RAM, but it ran excellently before the upgrade. Congrats on the new PB!

not sure what the problem is (apparently there is an "Error: -51", which prevents me from 'writing' to the desktop file), but it doesnt affect the other users, so Im creating another admin user and just going to delete the affected one. pain the butt.

cool!

more info: cannot 'create' files on the desktop (i.e. downloads, folders, etc). does this help in identifying the problem?? someone help please?!?!?!

ok, weird, at least now i can see the files on the desktop: i went to spotlight to locate the files, (found em right on the desktop) and as soon as i viewed the details of each file, they 'appeared' on the desktop. strange...:confused: go Tiger! lol still can't view with 'ls' in the...

yeah, the terminal.

tonight, while surfing, firefox stalled out. i force-quit it, then had to hard-reset. when it came back up, the files dissapeared from the desktop. i went to the terminal to try to move the files to another directory, and the ls command was not working. I'm not sure what the problem is, nor the...

My button assigned for dashboard keeps unmapping occasionally. I believe it does this after updates and/or installs. (havent paid attention close enough to occurrence) Anyone else experiencing this? Is there a fix (besides going to SysPref every time to reassign it)? Just curious

if it only works by the battery, find a friend who has the same computer and charge your battery. then, plug the water-mac into another computer and boot as a 'hard-drive' and move the data using a firewire cable. this will help u avoid having to rip out the hard drive (that is, if it will still...

just restarted my PB last night after the security update, before that it was probably about 7 or 8 days.

I was curious about the etiquette regarding the "free stuff for referral" (i.e. freeipods.com, etc) on MacOSX.com. I want to get some free stuff, but dont want to abuse the site for my "referrals" if it is frowned upon. I wanted to ask before I started to put it into my profile, etc. Thanks.

hehe, well my dad bought the multi-license install a couple months ago, and i moved to another city last month :( I need a copy for myself for a reinstall, so I can then install Oracle 10g. (unless the 'sudo' thing will work for me, ill look into it ;) )

looks like im going to have to get a copy too. (unless someone can tell me how to get my root password! I installed tiger, but cant remember if i A) didnt change the root password, or B) changed it to something, but dont remember it! I have the acct. set up as admin, but the 'root' password...

dang! I lost! hah

yeah, just a bad name altogether. like the 'Ford Festiva'. Has anyone seen these cars? What kind of a 'party' can u have in a car so small?? hahaha
