    Test your real-world machine speed...

    I dunno....would the network time really matter? It only checks a few secs, when you turn on the system, and I suppose, whenver you wake from sleep. Don't think it would make too much of a diff on the test...but hey....any more gflops I can pump out of this thing, would make me happy! :D I...

    ATI Radeon Mac vs. Radeon 7000 Mac

    A similar thread was on the Apple support forums. I don't claim to be an expert, but it has something to do with the rom chip on the card, also the fact that the mac version has a adc connector (and if memory serves, the regular 8500 has a dvi connection). I know that the Mac version has an...

    HP Scanjet software....

    Just an update on my HP Scanning software attempts... After talking with HP technical support directly this morning, with a couple of holds in between, the techs don't know when the software is being released, and said that they didn't think the software would work (they weren't too sure on...

    HP Scanjet software....

    Thanks dude. Maybe we should all click "No, this was not helpful"? :D I believe I've seen that page before, from hp. It's up to like 1 year late now. *l* Really odd, is that the newer scanners (3500/3570) say 10.2 on their box....so I'm gonna try to grab their cd, and see if it works.

    Macwarehoues and Studio 15 displays....

    I was on the macwarehouse site (in my case, the canadian site) last week, and in the clearance section, the 15" Studio Display was listed for $850can (roughly $550us), as compared to it's regular $899.99. But it was only in the clearance section for that price, so after exchanging emails with...

    Slow startup (2:30 minutes too much) after installing 10.1.5

    I found, that if you use the Network Time option, and say your high speed modem isn't on.....when you boot up, your system will just sit there, trying to get the proper time. But if you're problem is happening before that...at the smiley face, you might wanna consider wiping your drive, and...

    HP Scanjet software....

    Alrighty, I dunno if this has been covered before, but I'll ask.... Does anyone know if/when HP will be releasing OS X native software for their Scanjet scanners? I have the 4400c....and it comes with OS9 software. The website doesn't mention X yet....but I've noticed on their latest...

    Finder will not save my default HD View

    I had the same problem in OS X 10.1.5, view settings in windows, would revert to their dis-organized state, after a reboot. But on the Apple support forums, I found this fix.....but then again, nopody's nerfect. :-> What has happened, is that a file called .DS Store file has been...

    difference between dvd-r & dvd+r

    Very true.....that link is maintained by the dvddplusr.org forum - so a pinch of salt is required, when reading that. I did find it interesting, that it said that Sony is part of the +R alliance....even though their latest systems use the Pioneer DVD-R drive! *laughs* I think the...

    I just found out why Apple should be charging for Jaguar

    Darn! Since you had him on the phone, you should have asked if we can use our coupons that we got, with our software / systems! :D *laughs*
