    Screen "radiation"

    I work with computers for a living, and I have a special pair of Rx glasses for my computer work. They allow my eyes to focus on the close-up monitor while the focusing muscles are almost perfectly relaxed. They're great!

    Rendezvous now called Bonjour

    I've got to admit, I haven't read the Tiger forum much before now. I guess I almost thought it'd be like spoiling the surprise... :D I did, however, read Apple's own Tiger promotions, and didn't notice anything about Bonjour. Ah well.

    Exploding toads

    You are the second person I've heard mention this explanation, but still none of the news sites I've visited have mentioned it; only that the scientists are still 'baffled'. EDIT: Right after I posted this, I found a site that mentioned this theory...

    Apple dashboard page - password protected?

    hah! Wow. Someone must have noticed a lot of hits on that restricted page, and put in the forwarding. Weird that it changed just now!

    dashboard question ... can it coexist with the finder ?

    Though I can definitely see why you'd want that, I think that's kind of counter to the idea of dashboard. It's supposed to be a kinda-sorta alternate desktop that flips down when needed. If you want it to behave like a regular app, most (though not all) of the standard widgets have an app...

    Apple dashboard page - password protected?

    Actually, I can get to http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/dashboard/ ...just fine. It's: http://www.apple.com/macosx/dashboard ...that's locked. (Note the lack of 'downloads' in that URL). I tried several browsers & got the same result, so it isn't a cookie. You're...

    Using a 250GB external hard drive

    Do you have manuals or original packaging for them? If not, you could check the manufacturers' web sites for information.

    Digital camera and emac

    IF the camera has firewire (and I'm sure that one does) then I would strongly recommend getting a firewire cable. There might be some kind of patch to let you capture through USB 2.0, but firewire offers basically guaranteed compatibility and good functionality. Since you already have the...

    Rush Limbaugh says Family Pack is Delayed...

    Oh gawd, Rush uses a Mac? Talk about mixed feelings...

    Using a 250GB external hard drive

    I believe that some G3 based Macs needed a newer ATA card to access an ATA drive that size - but if you're putting your drive into an external EIDE enclosure, then you'll be fine as long as the enclosure has a controller that can handle 250GB.

    Digital camera and emac

    Is it literally a CAMCORDER - i.e. records videos onto tape - or is it just a digital (still) camera? What model of camcorder or camera is it?

    Arrived early

    The gal I talked to said that they had queued my package for shipment on the 27th, but that FedEx hadn't shipped it until the 28th (yesterday). However, if yours didn't even ship until today, then I'd say it's gotta be Apple that dropped the ball. And darn it, if the 4/29 delivery was...

    Arrived early

    Well, I guess the squeaky wheel gets the grease. After emailing FedEx about the problem, they replied that they would try to get it to me today. Now their site says it's "On FedEx vehicle for delivery" !! :D However, I didn't realize my wife was running errands today. I really hope...

    Why Are Some DVD's uncopyable?

    I always choose my words very carefully sir. I called you no names. I said "this board is not a haven for video pirates." At the time I wrote this, I knew exactly ONE thing about you - not even your real name - only that you wanted to know how to copy protected DVDs. I did not directly...

    Arrived early

    I just talked to Apple - and fedex. My order, placed 4/12 (!!) is now scheduled to be delivered May 2!! The Apple rep told me that Fedex is under contract to deliver all those copies ordered before 4/26 by 4/29, absolutely NO exceptions or excuses. It won't get me my software any faster...
