    to eMac or not to eMac...

    I would say spend more money, and get a powerbook when you can afford it. That thing will last you so long especially with 10.2 coming out so soon. Im not sure if the new powerbooks are on their way soon, ask around here, maybe the mac pros know. As far as the Emac, I would get one...

    OSX - Dramatic Speedup from re-install

    Fryke, you voiced exactly my thoughts of the OS X images vs. the OS X install CD. My concern is that there is a difference, whether it be a bug in the image installation , anything. I just know there is a big difference now. Not huge, but big enough.

    Trash & Deletion Problems [HELP!]

    I've got something in my trash, "temporary items" folder that I dragged from a freshly formatted partition. Now, it appears empty but there are invisible files, it wont let me change their permissions to delete, and trash wont empty it. How do I get into my trash folder via terminal and...

    G5 or what...??

    Here is what I know of motorola [which is a lot more than I know about macs, which still isnt much, but anyway :) ] Motorola "has the goods". They have g5's up and working right now. The problem is yield. The G5 [like the g3, g4 etc] are a tough chip to produce, and therefore it takes a long...

    Mac OS X remote login from a PC

    VNC is a good desktop sharing/viewing solution, its cross platform, and works really well over local networks. [and not that bad over the net as well] I run VNC servers on both my mac and my PC on my home network, so I can log into them from the other room and use them as if I were actually...

    ADB Wacom Tablet

    Serial to USB adapters DO exist. The question is whether your mac will recognize the device once its plugged in. I would fire off an email to Wacom support and ask, although I fear you may get a "no, buy one of our newer tablets" responses. Good luck brother.

    OSX - Dramatic Speedup from re-install

    I don't know how original this experience is, but I'll throw it out anyway. I bought an imac 800mhz a couple of months ago. It had osx 10.1.4 pre-installed. It wasn't running very snappy, but not slower than i'd seen store models run. Anyhow, to cut a long story short, after playing...

    Will OSX ever be as fast as XP?

    gl- I've tried a preliminary jaguar build and I believe it shows promise and will actually take advantage of our current hardware a lot better than 10.1 and below currently do. It also seems to add a lot of UI improvements and hooks into the underlying BSD subsystem that went un-used before...

    Some design software buying advice needed...

    Other people here are probably more outspoken, and experienced in this area. But I thought I would throw out that I've had great experience with Corel Graphics Suite 10 , 11 is out soon, and should be priced very competetively. Just thought I'd throw that out.

    Anyone read this yet... I tend to agree.

    I just want to chime in on DELL for a second. My last "all in one" store bought computer was a dell Dimension XPS D333, a pentium 2-333 with the usual trimmings for the time. It was an excellent computer, and design wise I considered it a real winner. It was sleek, small [for the time], quiet...

    Photo touch-up software

    omnigraffle sounds like the perfect app for you on versiontracker there are also a lot of apps for idea/visualization/diagrams but the big boys of vector illustration are adobe illustrator and corel draw...just in case you wanted something that cost more money :)

    [HOWTO] - Mount a DOS firewire partition

    awesome post, really appreciate that insight. As a side note though, I use 10.1.5, and I booted into 9.2.2 and my dos firewire partition DID mount automatically. [weird?] It doesnt, as you mention, in OS X however.
