    Installing Mac OS X on a Powerbook without DVD/CD

    Technically this will work, you just select the Powerbook drive as the destination. You will however need another 10.4 licence unless you have a family pack to install it on a second system.

    WoW System Requirements

    Depends on whether that it is stated that 933Mhz is the minimum requirement or the recommeded one. If the former it will not work well if at all, if the latter then you should be OK if you turn some of the display options off in the game.

    Xbox360, Airport Extreme, WEP, DNS failure and general misery and strife...

    I would definitely get them to check the base station out, it sounds as if it may be at least part of the problem. You could see if you know anyone who has a wireless unit that you could try in its place before you took it in so you could at least rule it out before spending any money.

    maxtor sucks..

    New disc I'm afraid. You might be able to salvage the case and just buy a new hard disk.

    maxtor sucks..

    The clicking you can hear is usually symptomatic of a hardware failure on the disc, sorry.

    Vista Devolves Further Still

    I am currently running the latest Beta of Vista and I would say it is very different to XP in many ways. Yes it is very late, but the you have to look at this from a remote perspective concerning Microsoft and Apple. Microsoft has a vast market share and has a reputation as a stable patform...

    macbookpro runs VERY HOT

    The only one I have come across ran very hot as well. Mind you even the PPC based Powerbooks got very warm.

    Can't install os x software after I changed the hard drive!

    Boot form the OSX installation CD/DVD and after the screen asking which language to use you will see a Utilities tab on the toolbar. Slect Disc Utility from the drop down list. Select the hard disk (if you can see it) and select partition. For 100GB I would suggest two partitions rather than...

    Can't install os x software after I changed the hard drive!

    During the installation try running Disc Utility and partitioning the disk. It will at least show if the Mac detect it. New hard drives are usually not formatted or formatted for Windows.

    MS SQL Install on Virtual PC

    No, that is fine, you might even get away with a full SQL 2005 install, but none of the previous versions.

    MS SQL Install on Virtual PC

    That would be your problem. You cannot run SQL server version 2000 or above on Windows XP. You get the error you are seeing even if it lets you get as far as installing it. You would need Windows Server 2000 or 2003 to get it to run.

    vpc7 and vista

    How did you get it installed at all. If I try on my G5 running VPC7.02 it fails with an ACPI error ? Any help appreciated and then I'll check the networking. From running it on a PC it can be a bit flaky anyway.

    Norway et al. against the iPod/iTunes

    It looks like I should have split that paragraph up. I was not suggesting that it was because of the UK that Microsoft bailed Apple out. At the time there was no other viable desktop OS, linux was in its infancy and still open source. OS2 may have been a choice in the DOS days but was long dead...

    Norway et al. against the iPod/iTunes

    But in this case you don't, certainly in the UK. The courts take action to prevent companies gaining a monopoly, the is not a lot you can do once they have. That was the original reason Microsoft bailed out Mac years ago so as to keep another OS/computer player in the market place.

    Norway et al. against the iPod/iTunes

    Firstly diablojota, my whole opposition to your arguement is summed up in the phrase 'their iTMS songs'. They aren't the property of Apple. Apple are just a distributor/publisher in exactly the same way that rcord companies are and these should be available for anyone who has purchased them to...

    New to Mac, Slow, slow, slow downloads

    You change the speed of the network card from Network section of system preferences. On the In-built ethernet section select Configure then Ethernet and change from Automatically to Manual(Advanced) and set to 100Mbps Half Duplex.

    Norway et al. against the iPod/iTunes

    While I agree with most of what you say, the bottom line with the iTunes music store rather than the iTunes software is to my mind, at least they are selling music and you should be able to play that music, that you have legally purchased how you want to not how you are told to by the company...
