Sounds like the way forward fryke. Unfortunately for me I don't have a PC at home, so even some of the so called techies are of little help to me, unless they start pulling the 'ping' and 'tracert' DOS commands out of the box. If you say 'UNIX' or 'Mac' to them you can almost hear them filling...

The reason that it is good that a cablemodem or DSL services supports an OS is because when you ring up their helpdesk when the service goes down, if your OS is not supported, then they always blame it on that. If they support it then they can run standard diagnostic tests on your machine to...

it's not overheating is it? I had a really wierd error like this once on a PC server. It took us weeks to determine what was wrong - we were getting very odd software errors. Once we added aircon into the comms room all the errors went away. OSX does tax the processor more than OS9 so that may...

where is the sound coming from? - internal speakers or external ones. Sometimes the startup chime (apple's terminology :cool: ) isn't heard by external speakers because they haven't had a chance to power up (especially speakers in monitors). Did you get the gong before installing/crashing...

Hey Dave, Glad to hear that you are getting on well with Macs. I too work in The City in London, but I have seen a mac in a bank, believe it or not. If you walk along the walkway between Bishopsgate and liverpool street station (behind Barings AM/Natwest markets (or whatever they are...

It could be construed as representation that they support OSX however. It depends whether the ad is an offer (with terms and conditions in it) or an invite to treat, which means that they are not contracturally bound by what they show. (The latter is more likely to be honest - look at the small...

Any chance of re-installing using a different OSX CD? A long shot, I realise, but at least it would take it out of the equation. R.

I used to use this app in the early days of OSX: Network Statistics Dockling - 1.0.5 found here: http://www.versiontracker.com/moreinfo.fcgi?id=11025&db=mac It was OK - it had a little double graph that sat in your dock and basically you could tell what was going in and out of an...

You could include the username/password in the connection string. If anonymous is set up then the connection string would be something like: ftp://ftp:anon@10.0.1.1 which is ftp://<UserName>:<Password>@<IP Address> Many browsers will allow auto login of anon ftp servers without...

When you crank up iTunes you won't be able to hear the fan :D

That is good product management - the products are on different lifecycles. If a company can manage their products that way then it dramatically reduces the revenue risk and allows focusing of resource into the area next to be rejuvinated. R.

gigi brings up an interesting point because I believe taxes are out of the equation in Ireland. I believe that the Apple store trades out of the Shannon duty free zone which When I purchase my Mac directly from Apple it was shipped from Shannon. This means that the price increase on Macs in...

I don't think that mild sarcasm and good advice against piracy counts as flaming. Looking back at the responses they were very level. In my bringing up the cinema display comment I was hoping to point out that stealing hardware and software amounts to the same thing - stealing: I apologise...

That is a filing to intend to sell. Does anyone know if they actually sold? The market doesn't seem to care - shares went up. R.

Does anyone know where I can get hold of a cinema display for free? ;) R.

I know what you mean neutrino23. It is not the case of the product 'Quartx Extreme' supporting the graphics cards, but of Apple supporting the graphics cards. Unsupported cards may well deliver some accelaration, just not as much as the supported ones. R.
