    Connecting two iMacs & a cable modem

    Need help there... how can I connect two iMacs (one on OS 10.1, one on 9.2) and a cable modem together so that they both have internet access and can share files and a printer? And how much will it cost me? Additional requirement: they need to share the same IP, or my ISP will know I have more...

    Hidden goodies in 10.1.1...

    Now, they might have appeared in 10.1, but I know they were not there in 10.0... -you can now choose your mic for speech recognition -the "slideshow" screensaver is vastly improved: -it no longer needs to pre-load the picts -it will loop though all of them, not just 5 picked at random...

    Disk Copy & Disk Utility "dying"

    for reinstalling, yeah, I had the problem in 10.0, clean-installed 10.1 and it disapeared for a while... However if I can avoid it I dont fancy reinstalling everything ;-) (especialy since that mean repatching the OS (security and installer))

    iTunes 2: did it erase your HD or not?

    shows that either very few people were affected, or that people affected lost their browsers... still waiting for Apple's apologies though.

    Yes!!!! iTunes 2 is scriptable!!!!

    I use a plaintalk mic, and it picks very little of the music. I'm not saying that speech recognition is perfect, but it works about as well with and without music. That said, I'm never more than 2 meters away and I listen to music with a low volume. Oh, and I do miss commands ;-) 'play love...

    iMac ram - technical specs

    OK, so its not strictly OSX-related (though my need for ram is ;) ), but I'm used to asking this sort of things here... Anyone knows the technical specs of the iMac ram (second generation, slot-loading)? Is it PC-compatible RAM? cause if it is, I'm buying it at the university shop, will be much...

    SCREW Epson - Printing To Unsuported Printers!

    hadn't noticed the plugs are packages themselves... lol, will I find more packages in them? As for holding my breath... I'm not. Actually, if doesn't work I might make a script automatically printing from classic acrobat reader any PDF files dropped in a folder... and then use "print as PDF" in...

    SCREW Epson - Printing To Unsuported Printers!

    for some reason relogging did not. Well, so I changed all those 'SC680' to 'SC600'... but my printer still shows up as unsupported :( (even after restarting) I couldn't open the plugins files (either in textedit or in bbedit); could that be the problem? TIA, Kinniken

    SCREW Epson - Printing To Unsuported Printers!

    Tried giving everyone every rights and removing all the privileges (on all the items, not just the plugin), didn't change a thing. That app looks pretty useful though :)

    SCREW Epson - Printing To Unsuported Printers!

    In the finder, all I can see is the "contents" folder, and its dimmed. In the terminal, I can see all the files, but bar editing them with emacs (which I cant start to use), its not much use :( TIA, Kinniken

    Got iPod

    why do Apple's coolest gadgets must alway be so expensive? Sure, prices will drop, and will even drop fast I hope, but by the time they do it will no longer be THE new, cool hardware and everyone will be talking about Steve's new airport-enabled teapot or firewire-connected microwave =/ I wish...

    How many students here ?!

    University are considered 'second-grade' If you want to be an engineer (thats high-class in France, top-of-the-range) you do a 5-year enginering school, not university. University is only good if you want to spend 8 years in it and do research after. And to make things a bit more...
