Well, I just brunched with Stevie (Jobs, not Nicks), and here's what he had to tell me (granted it took a few Buttery Nipples [the drink, not the widely unknown sexual torture technique]) 1. 26" flat panel iMac that borrows ideas from the MacTV and functions as your computer, television, and...

Here's something that worked very well for me... I keep mail open all time time, see? and I keep it checking my email every minute, see? y'know, i got a cable modem, what the hell? i turned it off today because I realized that i have no need to downloam spam that quickly. cut it back to...

That's one reason I love apples, and one reason why i almost had a heart attack when i had to have my motherboard replaced because a microphone plug had broken off in the audio in port. woulda been a simple fix for a pc, but in this case i had to get the motherboard replaced. last day of my...

I was using a hacked DVD 3.0 to play DVDs back on my B&W for a while, and typically the Top command would reveal that the DVD app was using up to 90% of my CPU! The Dock was rendered unresponsive for the most part, although I could still do light things like use Mail or a Classic web browser...

That's a neat little app :) thanks! It doesn't give much in the way of detailed info, but its a neat little util to quickly check out just how badly resizing windows clogs up your processor ;) Plus it look cool just sitting there spinning in the Dock!

I just upgraded my macs and I'm looking to gloat, and here's the perfect place to do it. My current state-of-the-Mac address is:

well i just installed 10.1.1 and it seems to have fixed it .. but thank you for the reply! :) every day i learn a lil more about this wonderful unix stuff, and the more i see the more i like it :)

Hello, each and every time I try to run vi or pico through the command line, I get the same response: Incomplete Termcap Entry and then its right back to the command prompt - this only happens on my regular user account, in my admin account I can use vi or pico fine. What might be...

After finding a great FAQ about this OS online, I discovered that none of the AV models are supported, so both my Centris and Quadra 660 will be useless for this, as will my LCIII. And the only other Macs I have are all Power Macs. I can't believe I have this many Macs and not a one that will...

This is an awesome thread. Just had to mention that. As far as hardware goes for a/ux, what size HD would u need as a bare minimum? RAM? I think I have a machine that would be fairly good at this, a Quadra660 w/ 52MB of RAM and 700MB HD. Would this make a good lightweight server? I also...

I don't care how it gets to me ... perhaps i can set up ftp to my Mac OS X box at a specified time, but I NEED THIS OS - This is exactly what I have been looking for for this 6300 I just purchased for $10. I was going to use NetBSD but I'd rather use an all-Apple solution if possible. How can...

So i'm poking around the terminal and decide to try out vi to edit some text. i get: [cc603769-a:~] zjd% vi ex/vi: Error: network: No such file or directory So then I try pico: [cc603769-a:~] zjd% pico Incomplete termcap entry I just want to change my hostname and its not...

Hi all, I've pretty much got the basics of the CLI down, but there's one thing that's killing me: how to follow links through the CLI. The way I have my box set up, intead of each user having their own Pictures and Music folders, I have them all set up as links to specific folders on a...

I've had no problems running Flash in Classic at all - as a matter of fact, I was using my Wacom tablet under 10.1 running Classic 9.2.1 on an 8600 with a Sonnet FW/USB card and the stock 604e processor. Worked great. Perhaps its not an extension conflict, but a missing extension?

I've got a TV that's older than I am, about 26 yrs old. Buying a set top DVD player would be like putting a silk hat on a pig. But my, oh my, do my DVDs look gorgeous on my 17" Studio Display. Its my only player and I don't mind one bit. I ordered the DVD extra just cuz I knew it would be...

The entire time I've been on this board, I always assumed AdmiralAK WAS an admin, just because of the sheer volume and quality of his posts. You mean he's not? My world.. my whole dadgummed world.... just came crashing down around me

hmmmm guess i jumped the gun on that one, thanks for the info. I have seen some pageouts here and there, but no more than 350 - 400 total after a couple days use. I guess I just expected 10.1 to be faster with a GB of ram. how many people think that X will continue to get faster for a...

I'd just like to say how absolutely mind-bendingly cool it is to be involved in the (consumer) beginning of what X is now, and will be for some time to come: the most advanced OS EVER.  I feel great pity for the Winbloze fanbase simply because they're too utilitarian, to convenience-oriented...

Here's a good example – this is the output from the top command i just ran. Just for background, I just booted this thing up (after having to boot back into 9 to watch a DVD, feh!) not 5 minutes ago. All the apps you see open are launched at startup so they'll just "be there" when I need them...

I've gotten 10.1 up and running on my 8600/300 with stock 604e processor and 256MB of RAM. I'm actually quite pleased with the performance overall, its not that much slower than my G3 350, and it even handles Classic really well. Some things I ran into: 1. I have a Sonnet Tango...
