Hmm - good answer to a daft question

Thank you - once again - for such a concise Idiot's Guide. Spanish and French I can cope with, though to me computers mostly speak Greek. Or Double-Dutch. Hey ho, so long as they look pretty and don't crash whilst doing it, that's all I ask. Was the decision to go their separate ways...

I can tune a 12-string guitar whilst wasted and understand my two-year-old daughter when she talks in her sleep at 3am with a dummy in her mouth. But I don't understand the relationship between Mac and PC. Is it possible to run OsX on any old PC and XP on any old Mac, or is that only possible...

Just curious, Diesel32 - why would you want to run Windows98 on an Intel Mac? It's not the first use that springs to mind.

ahhh, so that's why no one eats my salads..! Nice analogy, specifically targetted at a six-year-old. Thanks!

Hello ecirtap (you should have seen me trying to type patrice backwards, took me a while - just woken up, hangover). Thanks for the reply. Now all I have to do is save up a thousand pesos to buy the monitor I want!

Diabloconcaca - I'm very dim when it comes to anything but the simplest explanations. Can you expand on why Screen Spanning Doctor should be so hit and miss in terms of possible meltdown. P-l-e-a-s-e, in the words of Tom Hanks, explain it to me like I'm six. Ta, easterhay

Hi mcf - I've lost track of how many views this thread has had, and yours is the first reply, which must mean good things about people's experiences. Just one doubt - you mean repair permissions through Disk Utility and everything should be okay? Do you mean before or after installing? Thanks...

Sadly looks like we'll have to change the title of this thread to '101 uses for a dead applecollection'. Can't get a response, no vital signs. Anyone know CPR?

I so hope this isn't a lame repeat of a long forgotten thread..... In honour of that 80s cartoon book classic '101 uses for a dead cat', once your beloved Mac bites the dust, what the hell do you do with it? Opening gambit - 12" iBook - wide open in death as in life: the perfect angle for...

Physically, I'm in Patagonia (dropped off the bottom of the user map). But my heart's in Norfolk, UK. Note to mods: Is it possible to zoom the map's default opening settings further out? We far-flung members don't register unless you look for us.

hi etiennecaron - I have no idea what you're talking about but it sounds great. I wish you the very best of luck with your endeavour. Please post pics when you have finished! In fact, I think this calls for a thread in its own right - how crazy can you get with a 12" iBook? I've turned mine into...

I used to use this when I had a PC: http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file_description/0,fid,22963,00.asp If you can borrow a Windoze machine it should do the job. Nowhere near as much fun as the woodchipper though!

Arse. Oh well, thanks for the explanation. Will just have to continue with the rigorous programme of index finger pilates in order to develop the necessary high-speed scrolling.

Howdy - I use a Wacom Graphire pad, pen and cordless mouse (USB trackpad type thing) hooked up to iBook 12" running 10.3.9. Any suggestions why I get one scroll wheel speed in, say, Safari, and a r-e-a-l-l-y irritatingly slow one in Appleworks? Any fixes welcome. Cheers

Have seen this hack (details here: http://www.rutemoeller.com/mp/ibook/ibook_e.html) mentioned in other threads, but wondered if anyone could shed further light on possible problems. I've been toying with the thought of an additional monitor to supplement my 12" iBook. I'm a switcher and had no...

Thank you Mikuro - ffmpegX is my new friend

Just a thought - do the problems coincide with any new applications you might have installed recently?

Thank you. I have downloaded your recommendations and will try them out. Cheers for the help

huh, had never noticed the tiny 'google ads' logo. Shows how much attention I pay. Thanks for the answer
