I don't mean to spam but I found a good offer that eMusic are doing with the Beanscene coffee shops. It's a 14 day free trial with 50 free downloads, there's no DRM and you get to keep the songs if you cancel. It's up at emusic.com/beanscene

That's good to know. Does the speedbooster stuff make much of a difference with the Linksys adapter? I was reading some of the threads on that forum and the drive seems a bit unstable, how have you found it? It would be cheaper for me to get the Linksys (or a D-Link) wireless kit than a new...

Thanks guys. I checked out that list and the few USB adapters on it all seem to be 802.11b so I think I'll just go for the Airport card.

I'm upgrading my Linksys modem/router and the wireless adapter for my girlfriend's iBook and could do with some recommendations. I'm currently using an old Belkin 802.11b USB adapter and I'd recently bought a Linksys modem and adapter bundle that was on offer, however no Mac drivers for the...

I just upgraded to 10.4 (I prefer Panther but some software demanded it) from 10.3.9 and the new Mail seems to have lost all my mail from July 2005 onwards. It downloaded everything off the mail servers but there's almost a year's worth of messages missing. I know I should back up once in a...

Thanks. I just installed Visual Studio and SQL Server Express onto VPC, so I'll give it a go.

I'm developing a dynamic website that is based around a calendar system, that should also be able to talk to calendar apps. Ideally I'd like to be able to display calendars for various users on the same screen. I'd assumed that this would be developed in PHP/MySQL as it's open source and I...

Nope, now it doesn't work at all.

Because the port is ass. I used to have it installed on my G4/800 and it ran ok, if a bit slow. I just installed it on my new G5 and the resolution was a bit funny so I installed the newsest patch which completely broke the game. Trying to reinstall just now with the old version. Had a quick...

With the right cable adaptors a DI box would also work. Like Satcomer said, you basically need a pre-amp to bring the signal from your microphone up to the right level. Same goes for plugging a guitar straight in. Basically just don't plug stuff like that straight into a line in. It won't...

I'm going to check the price on the 2.0Ghz today when I go in, might go for that if I can; I'm not totally sure I can get it on the same finance deal. 2 RAM slots on the 1.8 isn't great but it would do I suppose. Can you run two (non-mirrorred) monitors off the 64mb GeForce on the 1.8?

PC World I mean!

The thing is that the 1.8 is a really good deal whereas the 2.0 is just normal retail. Actually I'll need to check that as they're dropping the PowerMacs from their consumer range so I'm not sure if the 2.0 is the usual price or not. Hmm.

Apologies for the lame thread but here goes. I've been looking to replace my (heavily upgraded) PowerMac G4 for a while now, espcially since I've just started a new company and I could do with a sperate machine for work (web/print design, music production). Anyway, I spotted a "Buy Now Pay in 12...

I thought it had been announced on the Apple developer site, could be wrong though.

I think the developer machines are using BIOS since it's a fairly standard motherboard intended for getting something out to developers quickly, but as you mention Apple are going for EFI instead of Open Firmware. There's the expected banter on Slashdot about it; "Why are they using commodity...

I forgot that I posted this ages ago. I'd still quite like to find a solution and I'd imagine it would be useful for other people too, any ideas?

I know someone selling a fairly new Apple 17" LCD and I wanted to see if anyone could give an opinion on how good a buy it is. The price is £250; I couldn't seem to find how much the RRP was and I didn't see any around on eBay (maybe I wasn't looking hard enough). I know 17" LCDs start at about...

I for one welcome our new Adobe overlords.

I'm sure people will reply with more specific help soon but make sure that your firewall has all your ports locked down and set up a log so you can see any incoming traffic that looks suspicious.
