try adding the following to the /etc/profile file and rebooting, this works with Fedora. export http_proxy="<address of your proxy:port number>"

You could try a program called FLACer, this will convert to AIFF and you can convert those to mp3 via iTunes. If you8 have access to a Windows system the easiest one to use that I have found is called Switch.

Sounds good Scott.

How about The Saloon - Bob's Place kinda goes with the hat.

I would suggest a piece of software called Audiobook Builder, works really well and is very cheap. Check here for details http://www.splasm.com/audiobookbuilder/

My thoughts and best wishes go to Bob's family and friends. From one of the many he helped, he will be sorely missed.

That Mac should handle it fine, I have a 400Mhz PCI G4 with the same amount of Ram and that runs videos from youtube and other sites with no issues. Does it play movie files stored on the Mac OK ? If so I would suggest you check out the networking side of things as your problem may lay there.

I'd go for the 15" for portability. I have no problem with mine which I use all day. If I need more screen real estate I just plug in a 19" flat panel screen and use that.

I agree with Fryke on 2 & 3, but I would suggest that partitioning the drive as you suggest. It is good practice to keep data and system on separate partitions, that way a wipe and install will not remove data files.

CJ, it is not desgined to be used like a typical computer it looks very interesting though I'm not sure what would happen if you put your feet up on it while watching the football :-) As for Microsoft stuff not working or selling I think the Xbox section might have a few comments to make on...

I noticed this as well, after saying move them to the Trash the icon looked empty and the Empty Trash option was greyed out. However after noticing my dwindling hard drive space I opened the Trash and there they were and I was then able to delete them, or recover the one I hadn't meant to...

I know that it is possible to crack the encryption on an HD-DVD certainly on a PC there is a utility to do this and from there copy it to the Hard Drive. I don't think there is a conversion utility to convert it to normal DVD anf if there is you are going to need enormous amounts of disk space...

You need to leave your Mac set to pick up it's IP address by DHCP. The original problem was caused, as I understand it, by you manually entering the IP address. The wireless system is obviously running a dhcp server and issuing IP addresses on a first come first served basis. The error message...

My Macbook Pro is suffering from the same thing. Can't find a fix for it or work out why it is doing it.

Try this and then just reverse the change when you have finished. http://www.osxfaq.com/DailyTips/02-2005/02-01.ws

I have a 3-Com Office Connect which I have had no issues with, including my Xbox 360 connection.

Just follow the instructions here for a transparent terminal window : http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20001120133050864

If you want to implement Active Directory to Windows based clients you are going to have to use a Windows server. A decently specified system with at least 4GB RAM will handle VPN and File stores perfectly well, just make sure you have plenty of disk space. Neither OSX or Windows 2003 will do...

The user is the sole user on the machine. The user's home network share would mount if it was connected to the network, but that is the same on all the other Powerbooks and they seem to have no problem. I was thinking maybe a profile problem, but I can't narrow it down any further as the user...

I have a Powerbook user who is having problems logging in when not connected to the network. In common with all other Mac portables it is bound to the Active Directory domain with a mobile account being created. When the machine is not physically connected to the network and the user tries to...
