    How in the world do I convert AIFF files to MP3 in iTunes 3?

    Trust apple to "hide" better functionality instead of exposing it. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Thanks for this tip though...its a life saver. [had the same problem yesterday]

    Jaguar Finder -> Cocoa?

    yeah, multi-threaded [and well programmed] is more important, and IMHO this should have been done a long time ago.

    Jaguar shipping schedule

    Heh. That was before the "new" apple came around. Now they will start charging you 100 dollars extra and ship you extra "productivity" software. [the above was a poorly made .mac joke]

    ntfs hard drives

    If you have partition magic and a windows machine, you can convert the drive back to FAT32 from ntfs. I've done this many times safely and its been a life saver. Tip to most other users- Dont use NTFS unless you really need to mess with permissions a lot. It can create a lot of headaches that...

    Virus protection? Come On!

    I find virex 7.0 to be competent and unobtrusive. Updating it is very old fashioned, you must log into network assoc. FTP and download the update package, and it only comes once per month, unlike the daily updates I am used to with great PC products like Kaspersky AVP. But, since the mac...

    Lots of ?????? (literally) in Terminal

    You guys should check what packages/terminal apps fink can download for you. This is really a thread for the darwin forum, I doubt all the unix users there frequent this forum that often. You should ask a mod to move this thread over there.

    How about a macosx.com email addy? or macsrule.com?

    That is a very reasonable price Mister Admin...... I already have free email that is world class quality, but thanks. As far as the email account management button on mac.com [as per the instructions on that web page] , it doesnt exist on my side, but that would be nice if it did.

    iChat, why AIM?

    I think its politics more than anything else , MacLegacy. I use Proteus or Fire, so that I can talk to people no matter what service they happen to be on. Not that I talk to anyone much these days.

    .Mac Petition

    Amen evildan. You said it 10x more eloquently than I even have the energy to attempt. Im getting a little tired of the response "you know, companies have to make money" every time someone else complains about being shafted by their favorite company X. And thats exactly what Apple makes it...

    Apple doesnt want your ideas

    Apple is charging for itools now for 2 reasons in my eyes. a) they believe that a substantial portion of their userbase is willing to pay b) they do not want to turn itools into another "hotmail" ...which is notorious for losing money and having horrendous operating costs/requirements...

    The biggest surprise.

    IMHO the ipod is just the beginning. I think apple has something big in the works with their ipod platform......like people say....all that storage space......all that untapped CPU power .... I agree about AAC though. Perhaps its taking a long time to program that kind of decoding...

    OS X Performance

    monroeq - It should not matter whether the Ram is specifically listed as mac compatible. It just has to be the right specs. I recommend that you check the ibook ram thread to see what was said there about ram. Bottom line is that most of the time you can get ram at a decent price from a...
