    installing ram on a powerbook g4 1ghz

    That was the wrong doc (it's for the older 1ghz) but it's ok, I found the doc I needed. However, what's interesting is that the Apple manual calls for pc2700 ddr 333 mhz ram with 200 pins whereas what I bought is pc2700 ddr 333 mhz 184 pins. Did I make a mistake or is it Apple that simply...

    installing ram on a powerbook g4 1ghz

    I checked, there's nothing for installing ram on a powerbook. I basically just need to confirm that the slot underneath the Powerbook is for ram (if it is, wow, that's beautiful placement -- thanks Apple!).

    installing ram on a powerbook g4 1ghz

    Hey guys, I currently have a Powerbook G4 1ghz and I just bought 2x512 ram to replace my current 512 configuration. However, when I bought this Powerbook, I didn't get an instruction manual as to where, exactly, the ram expansion slot is. I ASSUME it's the small square slot underneath the...

    What Company Should Apple Buy Next?

    Corel is a good idea for a purchase, and they seriously need to be exclusive to one market because they seriously aren't cutting it on the PC. Corel is trying to move into the Linux 'market', but how much money can you seriously make with WordPerfect on a platform that gives OpenOffice away for...

    Canadian Election

    NDP all the way. The Liberals are catering to the rich, the Bloc Quebecois are a bunch of extremists, the conservatives are totally catering to the right and don't even try to hide it. The only way you can win is with the NDP.

    Yahoo (100MB) versus .Mac (15MB)

    .Mac has the best spam filters? Look, a lot of Apple things are overrated. To say that .Mac has the best spam filters would be lying to oneself. Personally, I like mailblocks a lot (www.mailblocks.com). For 9.95$ a year you get 15 megs with the only 100% effective spam filter, for 24,95$ you get...

    2 dead pixels on iBook screen! :(

    When I bought my iBook, my warranty told me that regardless of whether it's an Apple monitor, iMac, Powerbook or IBook, it takes at least 7 dead pixels before Apple takes a look at it.

    New features for iChat

    I'm planning on buying an iSight but it sucks that only iChat takes advantage of the device so far. Would love to use it on MSN messenger. Sucks that Microsoft hasn't thought about implementing iSight support yet.

    Blocking websites

    You can block web sites using a hosts file, not the firewall. Simply redirect certain url's like www.gaypornfeaturingwoz.org to 127.0.0.1.

    Mac MSN Messenger 4.0..........

    Wow jobsen_ski, I never experienced ANY of the problems you have. I get the impression your G3-500 is seriously not cutting it anymore (I remember having a G3-600 and I have to admit, it kind of sucked). No point in blaming Microsoft, they're not the ones who made your processor crap (for the...

    Mac MSN Messenger 4.0..........

    I have to MSN 4 on the Mac is not even close to MSN 6 on the PC. Frankly, it's not too different from 3.5 aside from a few cosmetic changes. It'll get there though. I think most of us would rather iChat AV get MSN suppport though.

    External HD recommendations

    I like the AcomData hard drive I picked up personally. It's firewire and USB 2.0 and I like the fact that there's a firewire port in the back so if you're using your only firewire slot to plug the hard drive, you can plug your iPod like I do to the back of the HD. Best part: if the hard...

    getting a new 12" notebook, but which??

    Screw the iBook, it's a shit laptop. The case scratches like there's no tomorrow, past iBooks have had logic board failures and the base ram on it cannot be removed. Personally, I'd tell you to ONLY consider the 15" and up but if you're getting a 12" either way, go for the metallic exterior.

    Mail.app and IMAP

    Selecting it and choosing 'use this mailbox for deleted messages' doesn't work because there is no such option. However, in the preferences, there's a panel where I can choose to 'keep deleted messages on server' and 'move deleted messages to trash'. I removed the 'move deleted...' option and...

    Mail.app and IMAP

    I use a mailblocks (www.mailblocks.com) IMAP account and wanted it to be in Mail.app. There are two problems though. Whenever I get an attachment and try to save it, Mail says I need to download it first and when it's downloaded, it still doesn't save or allow me to drag it off. Even though it...

    OSX has killed my inner child

    I can very much understand this scenario. The company should not have the right to say what you can and cannot use. If they don't want you to use OS 9, they should just not support it anymore and not make softwaer for it any longer. Have you switch when YOU want to switch. However, let's face...

    who's using my wireless and how to prevent it

    I doubt anyone here knows much about the Netgear wireless router since most of the guys here probably use an Airport router (myself included). However, to prevent anyone from using your wireless access, you'll need to set up privacy on your network. That means either using an easily hacked...
