    .Mac - is it worth it?

    my response would be that i would probibly have an account, but i have my own server and do 90% of what a .mac would allow me to do, except i have zero space limitations like a .mac account does.

    Macintosh Power PC One 225

    I am thinking it might be a clone, like a umax or powercomputing or something of that nature. Diablo is right that if it is a beige machine that you will have a chance with X using XPF, but it will not allow it to run on all beige machines.

    desktop recording software to make videos

    I found on a few weeks ago on apples website in the get mac software section, i tested it out and it worked great and you could dictate the frame rate too, but it only did a small box, not the entire desktop. I forget what it was called exactly but it was a pretty self descriptive title.

    Mac Os 10.2.8 Loses Video On Beige G3 Towers

    If i remember correctly those machines had issues with waking up from a sleep in X.2.8 so that could potentially be the root of the problem? try to change the computers to never go to sleep in the enger saver prefpane. I could be remembering this wrong though.

    Tiger RAM Requirements & Issues...

    i have 640 in my ibook and it is very usable, but not as smooth as panther was, but then again my dual 867 with 2gig of ram is not as soon as panther was either, nothing major, but just a bit more stuttery in the graphics.

    Where do the gigabytes go?

    open up the terminal and see if there are some hidden files/folders that could be containing the data. you could type in: ls -ail to get a description of all the files and folders. there is also a command line utility to list all of the largest folders/files on the drive in size...

    Installing a G3 PCI video card in a G5

    some G5s have PCI-x slots and some have just plain PCI slots so that depends on which you have. I would image that if it has the plain PCI slots that you could use it as long as the card is OS X compatible.

    New to Mac, Few questions regarding OX 9 and OS X and more.

    i think you found your own error. i only understand english so that is all i have ever used, but if X is in english it is probibly expecting the same language for 9 and if that system is french that could be the problem, especially since it says that it cannot find the localized system.

    Built in?

    on those it is very easy to tell by physically looking. there is two tabs in between the "f" keys and that will allow you to get under the keyboard. the airport card should be right there, and if not, you will see a slot for a PC sized card and the antenna not plugged into anything. you can...
