It should work fine. Airport and PC 802.11 are generally compatible with each other (aside from using different encryption schemes). I have set up this sort of thing up couple of times. Most recently was a three way connection between a WinXP laptop with a D-Link wireless PC card, a Win98...

Did you ever see the movie, "Showtime" ? There's a scene with a nicely placed G4+flatscreen running an Apple ad for about 5 minutes (or more). The screen is on camera the whole time.

Being the only mac on a PC-only network is basically a pain in the ass, but it's doable, so long as you realize what you should and shouldn't be doing. Your biggest problem is the lack of client software to access PC databases. There are piles of Windows-only databases (especially medical...

I use it all the time; it's where searchable developer documentation can be conveniently found :D - shrill -

Well, yeah. It's a bit different. If you're used to Visual C++ development with MFC, it's a lot different. Of course, writing a straight up windows program is a lot different then using MFC too. I can't think of anything on the Mac that's really equivalent to Visual C++ & MFC except Cocoa...

That's just sad. But I have 50 posts now. Waaahoooo!! :confused:

You can use Interface Builder for C++, but it's not as tightly integrated as it is with Cocoa (objective-c). I think there's some samples that are installed with the developer tools that do this. Apple has a great developer site, they have lots of sample code (a lot is for pre OS X, but...

Well, it can be a problem, especially if one is broken, and that's the one you're booting to. :D

I buy the cheap ones. Most of the ones that I have are Western Digital though. The realiability of most name brand hdd's is about the same, so go for the fast ones .. 7200 RPM+, low seek time, and a big cache. - shrill -

What "Trap Not Implemented" means is that Classic is trying to call a system routine that doesn't exist. I'm suprised that this is happening on a clean system. I'd guess that you either have a corrupted OS 9 install, or you have some old third party extensions loading. If OS 9 doesn't...

You could use either PCI or AGP. AGP has some benefits for video cards, like being able to use the system memory for 3D textures. Most of the real world performance benefits are in 3D, like video games. PCI is just fine though, the actual performance difference between PCI and AGP is...

You know, my G3/266 tower is 4 years old, and I run OS X just fine with my 6 MB ATI Rage something or another video card. I can't say that it's really smooth if I minimize a window, but on the other hand I can hold down shift. As far as supported graphics cards go, they're probably...

Dang. That takes a couple hours on a good cable connection. Hope your ISP doesn't charge you by the hour :D WOW. Jaguar comes with handwriting recognition? That's cool. And the OpenGL desktop .. Someone needs to hack that .. I want my windows to do a Z rotation as they shrink down...

I remember when they charged for Mac OS 7.6 (which sucked rocks), and then came out with Mac OS 8 a short time later. They made us pay for that too. A lot of people were burned by that. With the size of the OS upgrades these days, I think it's unrealistic to limit the upgrade to people with...

Actually, my desk is a mess too. Side effect of letting my two kids near my computers... Fast is a relative term. I remember the old days. I still use a my Quadra 610 (25MHz or so) fairly regularly. It's sufficiently fast to run my scanner, but too slow to do any image processing (which I do...

Hahahahahah!!!! Hey now. I like bit twiddling. There's nothing like shifting bits off the end, and wondering where they go.

Ed, you seem to have a bone to pick with me. I'm afraid we disagree on many points. Please allow me to respond. Your liver analogy is inaccurate. You might say that mach is more like the skeleton of Mac OS X; mach holds it up. Does just a skeleton make a human? Nope, but a kernel by itself...

nkuvu - There are a lot of people who are required to take classes in VB or other ridiculous languages in order to get an AS or BS degree. Some of these people may have tried to learn other languages like C, but being used to VB style rapid development tools, C scared them away. These...

Well, OS X is Unix; darwin is a part of X, and darwin is a Unix. Hard disk defragging was most important back in the days when hard disk interleave was important - 15+ years ago. Modern systems aren't going to gain much benefit from the process, except in a few small cases. The benefit...

Well, you are talking about rearranging several thousand files (my boot partition has 122,395 files taking up 7.3 GB on it). It's bound to take some time. I don't know how long it's supposed to take, but in my experience, an average Windows box takes at least a couple hours to defrag. It...
