My SuperDrive and my combo drive both hang in chapter 26. I had a friend check and his Windows XP machine stutters in about chapter 28.

I tried two brand new spotless rental dvds from Blockbuster, and I tried them on a PowerMac and a PowerBook. ---John

Anybody else having trouble playing the new Star Wars DVDs on OSX DVD Player 4.0? I have tried two Episode 4 (A New Hope) discs and in both DVD Player hangs in chapter 26. I have to wonder if Georgie Boy has stuffed some crap in these that "normal" DVD players are not sensitive to.

Thanks so much, most helpful and beautiful Elfen moderator! ---jmo

Can OSX set up a PPP connection over the infrared port of an original bondi-blue iMac? Thanks, ---jmo

I know of no HDTV tuner that is currently available for the Mac. I would guess that there will be a couple on the market within 6 months. If anybody hears of a HDTV tuner for the Mac, please let us know. Until then, I'll just keep watching Buffy TVS on my Formac Studio TVR and my 20"...

Formac Studio TVR only rarely will come up at all. Calls and emails to Formac go unanswered. Not getting a warm and fuzzy feeling about Formac here. ---JMO

Did the hardware test show anything? ----JMO

Apple is going to send me another ATI 9600. Until then they suggested that I leave the G5 running... So I started folding proteins at home. Thanks for all the support, y'all! ---jmo

You got it! ---jmo

Anybody see this one?.... Twice now, upon waking my dual G5 after it has slept through the night, the 20" LCD Cinema Display shows a scrolling cubist abstraction. This is with the ATI 9600 and OSX 10.2.8. Also, the system does not always put the display to sleep when it is suppossed to...

My customized dual G5 came on Friday 9/19---ordered on July 2 with 1GB o' RAM. I thought I was overbuying (and I was!), and that I really should have just bought the best iMac and saved myself a small fortune. Now I'm of the opinion that I like having a PC that does everything faster than you...

Email from Apple just arrived indicating that my dual G5 shipped today (9/18) with 1GB o' RAM. It was ordered on July 2. The long hot summer (wait) may be near the end.

It's the damned Hokies that are keeping me from my dual 2GHz G5??? May Duke squash them mightly on the BBall court this year!

Apple says they're going to ship mine on or before 08/29/03. I ordered a Dual 2GHz with 1GB o' RAM on 07/02/03. And still not one word about Apple actually shiping dualies.

And they say that idealism is dead! I have seen such favoritism over and over in various industries. It is very common behavior. ---jmo

Well, might as well get shot for a lamb as a sheep, eh? I ordered the dual 2GHz with 1GB of SDRAM. Now, I'll just sit here with my still-in-the-box (nothing to plug it into!) 20" Cinema Display and wait. It's gonna be a long hot summer. :-) ---jmo

Anybody have experience watching tv on their Macs via Formac's Studio TVR? I read a review or two the said the resulting picture was "choppy". I would like to know how the picture quality compares on formac&Mac vs. a normal tv. I don't want Buffy TVS to be any more choppy than she was meant...

At what point can one rationally say that they _need_ a Dual 2GHz G5 in the home? I am trying to decide which G5 to buy.... Irrationally, buying the Dual 2GHz G5 would help to compensate for the physical decay and loss of virility that is middle age, but I can't see any real current need...

I use FruitMenu to give the apple pull down menu the same functionality as the Windows start bar, i.e. I map my home folder and the Applications folder into the apple menu. MS cannot always be wrong(!) and I don't want to always have to open a stupid finder window for everything that isn't in...
