At my home I use my OS X desktop 99% of the time but have a couple of laptops running W2k as well on WIFI. I don't have OS X server but am seeking to achieve the following: 1) Sharing volumes/folders across the local network. 2) Some kind of LDAP/etc. solution for my address book on the PCs...

I went to newegg.com and got an ImageQuest (hyundai) L70S 17" monitor. no DVI input but the text is absolutely crisp, colors/brightness great, no dead pixels and the price was only about $250. You can't beat that. I'm going to get a second one for side-by-side display but am wondering if the...

for sending emails....I did try to rearrange the addresses but it didn't seem to make a difference. It defaults to this person's work address no matter what I do!

I don't see any option to change this but I'm probably overlooking a checkbox somewhere ;)

Not currently a ADC member but saw this link today: http://developer.apple.com/macosx/tiger/tigerkit.html Seems like a good deal for $500. One question, though. The page says that a "GM versions of Mac OS X v10.4 and Xcode 2.0 when available" are included? GM? General Merchandise?

Thank you! Amazingly, I already have VLC installed... just didn't know it could play DVDS! Duh. Thanks again.

so I could make the window small and have it float over other applications in the corner while doing other things. Windows has it, I can't believe OS X doesn't.

I can't believe apple can't make this option in their otherwise improved program. Are there any workarounds or alternative programs that anyone knows about? Now that I have this beautiful G5, it would be nice to do some multitasking.

yeah, that's what I'm worried about.... spending that much money for a display (my first LCD not on a laptop) and getting a bunch of dead ones. Don't you think they'd at least pre-screen the one they were putting on display?

I'm planning a little trip to the store but was wondering if they have the 20/23" displays yet. I hear they have the new ipods (?) so it could be a nice visit. I haven't really seen any reviews of the displays yet anywhere. If so, I'm planning on picking up a dual 2.0 G5 and a 20" display. I...

In short, I think it might turn out okay, but it has been quite a trip. I'll summarize as briefly as possible: - 1 yr old 12" G4 powerbook, light use, occasional transportation/85% as a desktop on an iCurve at home with external LCD/wireless keyboard - 3 months ago bottom left corner of LCD...

hehe, I wouldn't say that I have $$ burning a hole in my pocket whatsoever ;) You make very good points and I almost wish they weren't as compelling as they are. It's hard to make a cool, calculated decision sometimes with apple producing such beautiful hardware. But, I'm not one of the - got...

It's not much different than a desktop setup, except I want to get a couple more hard drives, build up my music studio and I really don't need the portability anymore. I was surprised by the prices of the powerbooks on eBay also... but with the extra ram, icurve, keyboard, airport extreme, and...

Thanks Jerod, That's good advice. With the educational discount, I could get a bare bones G5 - throw some 3rd party ram/hd in, get applecare towards the end of the first year and the go from there. Because my purchase will be made after I take the bar exam at the end of July, maybe there...

Well, I could just use a few sane opinions on this situation. My 12" g4 powerbook from a year ago will be back from applecare service soon with a new lcd, new casings/plastic - they fixed it all because I finally convinced them that I didn't drop it, which I didn't. So, it will basically be a...

Here's a strange inquiry... I've got an airport extreme base, latest firmware, but use it as a firewall only - don't need wifi right now. Thought it would be nice to cutdown on the RF in my home - why not - but there is no option in advanced setup to disable wifi entirely. I setup a closed...

Well, that's good to hear. I used to use quicken on the PC as well with no incident. I've just been reluctant to do the mac version with all the negatives I've read. Hearing your positive feedback, though, is encouraging. Thanks.

After debating the pros/cons of gnucash/moneydance/icash/liquidledger/ibank, I've decided to give gnuchash a shot. Never been a quicken user - especially after reading the negatives over on versiontracker. BUT, something seems to be screwed up with my fink, X11 setup or something else. When I...

yep - it sure was. It's resetted now and seems to be working. So annoying when you think the problem is on your end and it really isn't! The plus side - I learned all about the console utility and am intrigued by all of these log files residing on my machine! (thanks for your reply. btw)

I sure hope someone has an idea here... I have my domain at 1and1.com hosting and use their POP mail in Mail.app. Everything was fine until a couple days ago when I stopped downloading mail for some reason. Console.log reports the following error: 2004-03-14 12:53:25.046 Mail[405]...
