For my research, I have to make a bunch of SQL queries, changing one or two parameters each time. I've found its easiest to set up a PHP script to have it read in the parameters from a file, and output it all to a file. Much easier than anything else I've tried. If you do any web or SQL...

I just sold mine on ebay, ended up getting $157 for it. Crazy, if you ask me, but I'll take it.

If anyone's looking for an AirPort card, let me know. I just got rid of my G3 iBook in favor of a PB, and I have a card at home that I am trying to sell. MP

Thanks for the input guys, Yeah, I get along fine with the current laptop, it's just a bit slow on some stuff, but it does what I ask it to, so I think I'm going to hold off on getting the new one. I have an external burner, but often need to transfer files while on campus, so I think I'm...

Hi All, I was at the local CompUSA picking up some RAM the other day, and I saw that they do trade ins. I have a G3 800 iBook (CDROM), and they say for that speed Mac, they will give you $700 towards a new computer. Would it be worth it to put $400 towards the low end GHz with the combo...

No, I have not updated recently. 10.3.2 a while ago, but that's it. MP

Hi, My iBook (G3 800) recently started making a loud "whirring" sound whenever I turn it on, coming from the left side, right next to the trackpad. Is this the fan? I have never heard it before, and it's quite loud, for a notebook fan if that's the case. Has anyone else experienced this...

If I recall, even with 10.3, I had to install the X11 SDK as an added option during the developer tools (XCode) installation. However, since X11 was not included in 10.2, I don't know if that is the case. If i had an extra set of Jag CDs, I'd check for you, but I don't. Sorry I can't be of...

I believe I used Fink for cdrecord, and did a google search for xcdroast OS X. I don't remember exactly where I got them. MP

No, it wouldn't matter if you aren't using any loops. If you are laying down all the tracks, then it's the notes you are playing. While my music theory is rusty, while a Major/Minor scale have the same flats/sharps, they are still not the same key. Though, as always, I could be wrong. MP...

Hi Everyone, I'm trying to remove all my debt, so I'm getting rid of my 2nd computer, a solid Blue and White with a G4 400 upgrade in it. Works great, loaded with 10.3 and 9.2. There's a buy it now option for $375 if anyone is interested. Here's the link...

Hey All, After a day of working, I was able to get xcdroast and cdrecord working on my B&W with my firewire CDR (not Disc Burning compatible). I used fink to install the cd writing tools, then downloaded the xcdroast binaries. However, I didn't try to shut down the automount daemon -- I...

Hi all, I'm looking for a (preferably free) circuit analysis program for Mac. I've been using Spice, but my limited knowledge of the program and the fact that everything is done in text files makes this no fun. Also, does anyone know the best way to set up octave under X? I would like...

Ok, I've tried diskwarrior and disk utility, and nothing doing. I was wondering, do you think the problem might be with the enclosure, rather than the physical drive? Does anyone know if these drives are just standard IDE drives in firewire cases (it's a SmartDisk Desktop Drive, I forget if I...

Hi all, I am doing some work for a graphics department who have all their work stored on an 80GB SmartDisk Firewire HDD. There seems to be some sort of problem with the drive -- it reads extraordinarily slowly, crashing the finder in X, and freezing the computer in 9 at times. Normally, i'd...

i'd be interested I'm on an iBook 800 (32MB video card) 256 Megs of RAM MP

I wouldn't say that PC users are more computer-savvy, maybe just the people that will join a Windows/PC forum are. When you buy a Dell, you don't feel like you join a community, but you feel that way when you buy a Mac. I've used both systems, each has its advantages and drawbacks, but for...

Hi all, Just letting you know, my B&W is on eBay, for all who are interested. Here's the link. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2771732320&category=14912&rd=1 If you're interested, send me a PM with any questions

Hi All, I just came face to face with this problem big time. I was giving a presentation and I found out all my graphs were missing (I used paste special to paste them as images). Here's the weird thing - worked on the 4 macs I tried, but when I tried to use an Office XP machine, they just...

Hi all, I know this expected when using Microsoft Products, but i'm annoyed beyond belief. I just wrote a 14 page research paper for one of my classes, which contained Excel graphs of some data analysis I had been doing. I also had to give a presentation. However, when I went to print...
