I finally settled on a bike; its a South African brand (Silverback) that not well known yet. I got good components for a fair price: It has a Deore LX RD and Deore FD, Suntour shock, Deore shifters...., but a one year guarantee on the frame. I was sorely tempted by a Giant Iguana (with those...

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm limited to what's available on the local market. And from the quick browse of their products, they're rather expensive...as a comparison, the Shwinn Mesa bike I saw today is about the same price as their 3rd cheapest bike and that has an Acera rear derailleur...

Mechanical disk brakes; how reliable are they? I just saw a Schwinn Mesa GSD equipped with such brakes and its quite tempting.

Does anybody know of Merida mountain bikes? Their Kalahari series doesn't look too bad. It most probably isn't available in the US coz I've not been able to locate any info/reviews...

ok, cool. now, do u have a Skype name?

Hi guys & girls, I did that most odious of mistakes and bought a supermarket bike. I regretted it from the outset and have spent more time taking the bike for repair than riding it...I've resolved to get rid of it and get myself a good entry-level bike. It'll be used for the odd commute to...

1) About Safari, delete the Safari plist file. Empty trash. Log out and back in again. See if there's any improvement. 2) Tell us more about the Software Update problem. Yes, do have your computer looked at as far as the PMU is concerned...out of interest, how did you reset your PMU?

Hi guys and girls, I've been using a Mac since March and I'm finally getting curious about what I can or can't do MacOS X as far as developing and sys admin is concerned. And X11 is something I'm not familiar with at all. So, please educate me. Gently :) If you know any good resources where I...

Hi Alp. Have you tried opening the Pivot Bar options? If you right-click on the toolbar, one of the options will allow you to customise the toolbar...if I'm not mistaken

I'm still on Panther, but my computer has also acquired some questionable behavior. Like having a kernel panic when I wake it up. Or plug in my memory stick. Does not happen often, maybe because I've become a bit militant in using programs like System Optimizer X and OnyX. Lt Major Burns , I'm...

1. Welcome to the forum 2. My thoughts: http://www.macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?t=247074

I wish Apple did something PSP'ish; the present screen size is simply not for watching movie clips. I thought they were pushing the envelope when they expected people to view photos on that screen, let alone movie clips.

Don't have a solution for you, but I'm curious about one thing: how much did you pay for your keyboard and mouse?

Another reason I chose to subscribe to this magazine is to avoid the higher price I'll have paid at a newsagent or bookshop. In my case, the subscription works out to be half the price I would pay for 13 issues of the magazine at my local bookshop. And as baggss points out, this magazine is so...

I've noticed people report problems with their (not Apple) desktop sets. Newest post on this subject in the Hardware forum is about a Microsoft Bluetooth Desktop set paired with a PB ver. 5,6; some buttons do not work properly...A friend of mine went and bought a Logitech diNovo set to use with...

I just wanted to bring this particular magazine to your attention. It's published in the UK. It's an excellent magazine for all types of users. Its not the cheapest to subscribe to; cost me about 70 pounds sterling for a year's (international) subscription, but its worth the money. There're...

Hi there. I'm a developer for the Namibian distributor of HansaWorld software. Its a pretty complete solution, catering from single-users like yourself to multi-user setups with over 500 users. You can have the GUI and process-flow altered in order to give you a solution that's completely...

Hi there. Please search for answers in the Software, How To's and this forum; there're plenty of threads that have addressed this subject conclusively.

Cost was an issue for me. The 17" was too expensive for what I primarily use my computer for (writing code and testing software). There're lot of laptops out there that have mediocre options and prices and the 15" represented the best of what I could afford. But I've had to get a 17" display and...

I may have the same problem though I'm using an Apple battery. I've set the Energy Saver settings for Maximum Battery life. First things first; resetting PMU...is that the same as resetting PRAM? Never done this before. I've noticed my battery drains exceptionally fast. Its a replacement battery...
