    I suggest trying the beta. The drivers work well enough for me. I share an Epson RX600.

    iTunes: Convert/Format "Protected" Song Files?

    The truth is that you own the cd, not the music on it. Also iTunes store would not exist without file protection as the record companies would not licence the music to Apple if they thought it would be distributed freely.

    OSx86: Are You Serious?

    No surprise there, having only recently seen the light and bought a powerbook. Maybe Windows is harder to shake off than I thought! Thanks for the snippet of history, I always thought the first anti trust cases was more to do with bundled software (IE, Media Player et al.)

    OSx86: Are You Serious?

    "That bares repeating... Apple releasing Mac OS X for Intel is going to do nothing (at all) to increase market share. Why? Because the only time that an operating system is counted in market share is when it is bundled with the computer." Ok, I didn't know that! I presumed that market...

    OSx86: Are You Serious?

    Microsoft are big, yes but I wrote increase not take the majority of market share. But you're probably right. The only thing is that I cannot see how Apple are going to keep OSX86 on their hardware only, TPM chips or not. We've seen how quickly the OSX86 software has been hacked and really...

    OSx86: Are You Serious?

    IMO, If Apple wished to increase market share all they'd need to do would be: Update OSX86 by adding Apple hardware only features. (No doubt it would be hacked though.) Then release OSX86 to run on any pc, not just Apple hardware. This should surely make a large stack of cash, I think that...

    maximum PowerBook cpu temperature

    You can buy stands with fans built in that claim to cool a notebook. I don't know if these work but they might be worth a look.

    Should I stay or should I Go!

    My brother-in-law bought an imac g5 in April. He has no problems with his, although he does occasionally find the fans a little off putting. He readily admits that his (very old! 6 years!) pc was a lot louder, but he is so used to the quiet now that the fans seem noisy! Personally I think...

    Should I stay or should I Go!

    I was in the same situation. Fed up with Windows (too much like hard work, not to mention viruses) I looked at several mac websites and was almost put off by the amount of; this is broken, that doesn't work, zap the pram this, trash the plist that et al..... But I thought on and realised that...

    Global Template On Ms Word 2001

    I don't think that you mean template. Normal.dot is the blank page you see when starting Word. And doesn't change your toolbars. To restore toolbars go to view/toolbars and add what you like.

    Sick of sites that don't support Macs

    I suspect Perseus meant one browser that does it all on a mac. I have to use three different browsers just to log in to various financial sites: Safari, Camino (I could also use Firefox,) and IE5.

    do you use the httpmail plug in to work with hotmail? Older versions will not work with Tiger. If you do use it then download and install the new version and Mail will open again.
