    casual user scratching below!

    It really is as easy as CaCa was describing. this is exactly what i have done. I have two 200 gig drives with my music on it. the iTunes prefs are just set to look to that drive(s) (software RAIDed so it looks like one drive) for the music instead of my home folder.

    iBook CD drive

    I changed the harddrive myself on my iBook G3/500 and it was not fun. I had already bought the disk and then tried to open it. i am not sure if i would have upgraded it if i would have known what i know now. If you have not taken apart a computer before then this would be a horrible place to...

    My opinion. Airport Express sucks

    Mine has been working great too, but i actually dont use it as a base station, just to relay music through while joining my graphite base station network. i set up an extention cord and a audio line to the top of each of the stereos in the house so i can plug it in where ever i want. I have...

    Beige G3 SCSI 'conflict'?

    as far as i know you should be able to use any mac compatible IDE cd rom drive. from my understanding, the beige G3s do have to have the device set to master if you plan on booting from them though.

    Mac Mini opinion

    I don't think the harddrive speed would be an issue for anything that has been mentioned so far, except the video editing. doing things like playing mpegs that are up to a somewhat large resolution should be fine, but i think you will run into issues with doing DV files. the easiest solution...

    Photoshop resizing question

    if you are going to upsizing images it is best to do it in small intervals, but if you need to make a lot of pictures larger or you need to make them REALLY large, it would be best to use something like genuine fractols or the fred miranda action.

    Mac Mini as small + quiet + headless personal web server?

    As i posted in your other thread that i aggree got way out of line, the short answer is that the mini will be overkill for what you need. About 6 months ago i switched from an 8500 with a G3/300 card and 512mb of ram and only a total of about 12 gig of harddrives to my BW G3/450. the 8500...

    Free space on Mac mini hard drive

    randman, I think he was trying to say that is about what the formatted capacity of the internal 40gig drive on the mini would be also. i have a 40 gig in my ibook, after i installed the complete os and the dev tools and ilife 04 and route 66 and photoshop 7, i have about 26 gig left.

    News.com: Apple is too much style and no substance ... YEAH RIGHT...

    i got the additude from his article that even if the mac mini was priced at $99 he would still not buy one because he does not like mac at all because we are too snooty or something. I had a hard time taking him seriously, especially when he can't do some simple math like that dell he mentioned...

    Mac Mini Stacks....

    A few years back i had a completely working pile of parts called a 6100 with no case and a huge cavern of a gap under my dash of my 91 accord that i wanted to try to fit it in, but i could not find a place to put a monitor that i liked.

    Mac Mini as a server ?

    I think it would be a GREAT server for home uses. Remember he said that he is using a 200mhz PC for his server right now, this mini would be such a freakin huge increase from that! I am currently using a BW G3/450 as my LAN/WAN server which is low volume and it does a super job. the...

    Your Mac accidents

    Story 6 Just a couple of weeks ago my nephew knocked over a glass of water directly onto the same iBook mentioned in story 5. my sister-in-law immediately picked it up and unplugged the power and so on, but the water ran out of the thing when she tipped it on the side. my sister-in-law said...
