    Is iBook's Airport Reception Really Better Than The Powerbook?

    There is a Hack where you can substitute a Custom Pigtail and External Antenna for the in-built Antenna. The Pigtail is run out of the PCMCIA slot, so one of your slots is inaccessible. a second PCMCIA WiFi card is a more practical option. It is also possible with the iBook and 12" Powerbook...

    Wireless iMac G3 to Windows PC

    Regarding Networking, The iMac DV was the first to support AirPort Cards, so you're out-of-luck. If you obtain small Wireless AP, like an AirPort Express, you could use it to bridge the Ethernet Port of your iMac to you existing Wireless Network. The AP will have to be self-powered because no...

    Pages... showstopper? or non-issue?

    Fingers-Crossed, Mail Merge will be implemented with AppleScript. Hopefully in a Point-Version Update before you have to do your Performance Certificates. What Macros are available in Pages? I presume Page Number and Number of Pages. Are there Document Attributes like Keywords, Author and...

    I just got iWork ;-)

    Technical Question: Is a Pages document Structured or Styled. What I mean is, Is the XML File a series of On/Off Tags, like HTML, WordPerfect and DocBook, or is it just a series of entities with Properties, like Word and RTF. I always loved the fact that in WordPerfect, I could Reveal Codes...

    I just got iWork ;-)

    I want to know if the iLife integration works with iLife '04, or do you need iLife '05? If it only works with iLife '05, I guess I'd have to upgrade iLife at the same time.

    Airport, Eyehome and a Windows PC

    Wireless networking is very complex compared to old fashioned CAT5. It is most likely interference from other 2.4GHz Wireless devices like Cordless Phones or a Faulty Microwave oven. It could also be someone nearby trying to use another Wireless Network on the same Wireless Channel. Wireless...

    Why such a hate for the iPod?

    Whenever someone has a go at me for having an iPod, I just turn my Alpine Stereo, with iPod Adaptor up louder. Now Clarion and Pioneer are releasing Changer Adaptors for their Car Stereos. You can't say the same for a Zen or a Phillips or even an iRiver. As a Full-Time Regional Courier...

    Mac Formatted iPods on PC

    I use a great little program called iPlay. It's essentially a HFP+ Driver for windows, with a few extras. It can block iTunes HPS+ iPod warning, so you can use it with iTunes, and if your collection is only MP3's it integrates well with WMP too. You an use it as an external HDD, but you can...

    iWork, worth it ?

    I hate how Institutions are "Standardising" on MS Word. I don't know how many Job Applications ask for the Resumé to be presented in a "MS Word Compatible Format". It's the same with Major Business and, I presume, with education. I recommend everyone change the default "Save As…" format to RTF...

    Post Election - Chaos?

    Actually the Archeolical Truth about Christ is that the Character which Jesus was Modelled on, was a small, ugly, hunched-back Prophet who lived in Jerusalem and ranted on and on about helping other people, and not hurting other people. Stories of his Altruism were exagerated over and over...

    The coolest apple lighter

    Almost makes me want to take up smoking. Not Really, That looks really tacky. If Zippo bought out a White Zippo, with an Aqua Apple Logo, that might be cooler, but the white paint (or whatever) would have to be heat resistant.

    IIRC Internet Explorer has built in Proxy Configuration Options. Meanwhile, Safari uses the OS's Proxy Settings.
