Well, it depends with what you want to do with it. If you want to run a fun box to just play arround with I would definately get a Desktop. Desktops give you more bang for your buck so to speak. I just got an old Lime iMac that I play with. (I actually stripped down OSX to the shell and run...

Note also: If using highspeed internet access (DSL, Cable) your modem will useually use your ethernet plug, and you would need a hub, and router to use the connection. Powermac whats the type of connection that your trying to share?

The better defination of the diffrent RAID structures is on apples web site at the bottom of this page: http://www.apple.com/xserve/raid/reliability.html

Its external firewire, the drive itself is IDE

well, I have a bit of a problem. Every time I try and erase or partition my external firewire drive with Disk Utility it starts up fine then just sits there with "unmounting volumes" up indefinately. There are no volumes on the 100gb disk to to unmount. So i went to the shell and tried fdisk...

Well, my best guess is that apple doesent want to plunge too much money into such a new technology. I suppose after FW800 really takes off in the market all the machines will be all 800.

A LAN party is a all geek game blowout. Useually involving consuming redicoulously large amounts of cheap foods and downing gallons of coke. No sleep is included in mutli day events. Problems: Power grid, loss of eyesight, cessation of sub crainal brain activity. All together a whole lot of...

it depends on where your buying it. If ya buy it from a store such as CompUSA dont. However if you get it directly from apple go ahead and get it. Personally I diddent on my New Dualie but on a laptop I probabally would. The reason I metnion stores is beacuse if you go back in there and...

Yea, ive been useing a old logitech M-BA47 for years (mouse ball) and it has held up well. So i would recomend a logitech mouse to you. Note: There are drivers inolved with OSX. Mutliple button mice are allready supported. As well are scroll wheels!! Nothing to install at all, just plug...

Yea, dont allow the battery to discharge all the way. You will significantly loose battery life. As you may have read at somewhere like www.ipodlounge.com people with the first generation iPods are starting to have battery troubles. This is largely attributed to people draining their...

Hey, all mac users should know better than to get jumpy with MHZ. We all know how much clock speed is not a measure of performance. I must say I just got a dual 1ghz system and it flies compared to the G3 I used to have. Unfortunately there is no indication bescides time pointing to apple...

The limitation that I know of is this. Logitech makes great cameras but has not released drivers for OSX and wont respond to me emails (assholes) But their cameras are great. You dont need firewire for a simple webcam. The bandwidth so to speak is just not nessicary. Dont bother with...

Oh and by the way, in any metropolitan area there is NO UNUSED frequency. Every bit of it has something on it. You just need to have a clearer signal than they do. (I know this because i work at a radio station)

Actually, the FCC allows pleanty of power to get from your dash (or trunk) to you antenna. Its not their fault. Also car sterios have the best recievers of any radio on the market so that is not the problem The problem is in the transmitter. FM radio is easily distorted my metal and...

correction LTJ Bukem not LYJ

Check out BT, Chemical Brothers, AIR, Dirty Vegas, Loop Guru, LYJ Bukem, Plug, Prodigy, Prozzak, and Soul Coughing. I happen to be a DJ on KSUB seattle.

An option for finding lower end macs that I recently discovered: Go to your local university and ask them if they would be willing to sell you one of their older surplus computers. I just got an 450mhz iMac DV for $300. Which I might add runns OS X just fine after I bumped the RAM.

if apple was going to release anything new soon they would have done it at macworld.

Hey, I run VPC all the time with my 3D modeling/CAD software, I hate windows, but the apps are only for PC. I actually runs well, but crashes about once a week,
