I am surprised that windows didn't crash and scramble the eggs :D

I design software - what does that count as? I try not to get my hands dirty in the coding pot though. UML is my palette. R.

There must be something wrong with your machine. I have never experienced this with mine, even in VPC. 2-3 seconds is a very, very long time for a lag. You say that you can do these tasks on Windows with only 64MB RAM - I really would not recommend using win2k or XP with 64MB RAM - very...

I have a clamshell iBook which runs OSX fine. I do not perceive upgrading for several years. I have owned the computer for several years. That means that I will get at least 5 years use out of it as my primary workstation. It will then be put to good use a server of some sort. Why will your...

I have an interesting cable that came with my web cam. It is USB1 at the computer end, but the other is identical (i.e. exactly the same) as a 4pin firewire. Is this a standard cable (with a name)? Many thanks in advance, R.

The ipfw terminal command can be used to create a software router. R.

fryke - we are agreeing a lot recently. It may not be possible to hear the difference between mp3 and cd audio when playing on computer attached speakers. However as the stereo equipment gets better the artefacts become more pronounced. It is like a print of a painting. Prints look OK, but...

I am a freelance business analyst/Software designer (UML). Occaisionally I get my hands dirty with SQL, perl, html, vb, PHP, whatever really to get the job done. Like nkuvu I really do it because it is fun. I get to talk to people about what they want their computers to do, and I have to deliver...

There is a difference between mp3 and CD audio. I didn't notice until I played them though a reasonable stereo, and now I will only listen to mp3 128 or over (in fact, I only rip at 192). Some tracks still have artefacts at that bit rate as well. However I still predominantly listen to music...

I have done it - an iMac and an iBook to the same base station. It is very easy. You need NAT enabled so that they can share the same external IP. Everything should be automatic. R.

I presume that the kernel (colonel) panic screen has been replaced by a GUI version recently. I have never had one, so I can't be sure though. R.

I agree totally with dlookus. When I buy a CD, the first thing I do is rip a high quality MP3. My iBook is plugged into my stereo and I have an MP3 player on my cellphone. NB it is possible to copy these 'CDs' (for want of a better name). However it is not possible to convert them from one...

out of interest, why? what graphics cards do they have? R.

it makes more sense if you saw yesterday's cartoon - as already said by mfhaque, they are looking for a new logo. R.

Just a thought: 1. How about aliases to classic apps? Can you change the icons on those? 2. Failing that, how about a little script that kicks off the classic app, which you could then change the icon on? Sorry - not on my Mac to test. R.
