My Sony DCR-TRV18 will take an analog input and send it directly out as a DV stream to the computer :) Brian

Are you asking how to get the blueooth headset to work with the phone? Or how to get the headset to work with the computer? Or how to get the phone to work with the computer? Brian

If it's why does all the press releases on the G5 focus on Professional applications and professional users? In the benchmarks that they tout, the computers they are testing against are business line computers. If you look at the solutions page on apple.com for the G5, every application it...

iMovie only uses one CPU at a time, and any Mac sold today can run iMovie perfectly. You hit the nail on the head with the usage patterns having as much to do with what you need as the apps you run. One thing to remember, that many people forget, the PowerMac line is not designed for home...

The taxes in the US depend on what state you live in. For me in Minnesota, I'd have to pay 6.5% tax on it. In California you'd pay 7.25%, in Deleware you'd pay zero. Brian

I have use OnTrack Data Recovery (http://www.ontrack.com) numerous times over the years, and have had excellent service and results from them, but they are expensive. They sent us the data on multiple CDROMs. We also used the 2 day service as we needed the data ASAP. The companies will only due...

I vote for the Logitech Optical Mouse. I have one on my computer at work, one on my mac at home, and one on my wifes mac at home. They work out of the box perfectly with OS X, they are solid. I've never had a single problem with a Logitech mouse, my last one (classic 3 button logitech mouse) was...

That card would work, but I wouldn't recommend it as it's fairly slow. Probably best just to spend $100 and get a 120G harddrive from bestbuy :) Brian

Commerical DVD's are dual layered. They are created by a stamping process instead of a burning process. There will be dual layered DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW sometime next year available, but their compatilibity with existing DVD players is yet to be seen. These will only be around 8G total storage...

The stripped RAID they are selling is just two disks that are configured in a stripe in software. You could buy 2 250G SATA drives for around $250 US each and remove the 160G drive it ships with. Or, buy it with one 250G drive, and buy a 2nd one via a 3rd party. Other then memory and disk drive...

Yeah, DriveSavers is one of many places that do data recovery, but it's expensive. They charge around $200 just to attempt to restore your data. The average recovery that they do is around $1000, but can be up to $2-3k. They send you your data on a CD/DVD/Tape/etc, what ever media you'd like...

According to reports, they don't mount via ssh. Brian

My wife loved how her G4 iMac was packaged, made it kinda fun to open and go thru. Brian

Yes, it will work, but you need a Ultra2 or Ultra3 SCSI card such as this one http://eshop.macsales.com/Catalog_Item.cfm?ID=6162&Item=APL6612171. No additional software would be needed. Incase you're not familiar with this product, it is a JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks). It will show up to...

The problem has to do with the automounter. All your external drives are automounted when needed (in this case, when you login). If they are sitting idle and unused, they will unmount themselves. This is the default behavior, and is actually a very good behavior to have. What is most likely...

There are newer "Blue laser" DVD drives out that store around 23GB of data. Sony started selling one of these earlier this year for around $4k. Ofcourse, there are two competeing technologies for blue lasers, which are not compatible with each other, just like we have the fun of DVD-R/RW and...

Give Throttled a try, http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/7570. It's a bit complicated to setup, but it should do what you want. Brian

Nope, they won't recover data. They'll stick a new hard drive in it with a default image as if you had just purchased it. They specifically state that they are no responsible for any data. You do have backups of your data don't you? :) Brian

I don't know of any inexpensive options for OS X, but there are many free options for *BSD, Linux, and Solaris for doing software RAID 5. Ofcourse, using software RAID 5 really really kills performance :) Brian

When I think RAID 5, I don't think performance. RAID 5 has OK performance, but it's biggest advantage as far as I'm concered, is it's price. RAID 5 is one of the cheapest ways to get redundant data. RAID 5 is most commonly used for file servers and the like, but some people use it for Databases...
