    UDF, Sony, and Mac OS X

    My Dad is thinking of getting one of Sony's CD-based Mavicas and a new iMac. The camera is compatible with Mac OS X if it's conected via USB, but the CD media it burns is not. It uses a variant of UDF, but 10.2.1 just won't mount it. Interestingly enough, Disc Utility can see it, show me...

    iSync with WHICH PalmOS Devices

    Just wondering if anyone knows which PalmOS devices will be compatible with iSync. I was considering buying a Handspring Visor and was wondering if it would work with iSync. This is especially important since (I believe) it is not be fully functional with Palm Desktop. Although this might...

    How long before....

    So how long do you think it will be before Apple starts asking users to serialize their copies of Mac OS like everyone has to do with Windows? I'm guessing it won't be long since so many people pirate their OS and this would help Apple track those who do. It might not be as soon as 10.3, but...

    Jaguar Serial Number

    Does anyone know what the serial number in Jaguar is being used for? Is that number possibly different between retail, scholastic, pre-release, and pre-installed versions of the OS? Just curious

    I need to capture video of my Mac in operation!

    I need to be able to capture the video of my Mac as a QuickTime movie while it's working or playing a game. Unfortunately, software solutions (like Snapz Pro X) slow down the video rate too much for my needs. I'm assuming the only way to capture decent frame rate video of my Mac in action is...

    XFree86, Gimp, AbiWord, & Upgrades

    Although I'm not a complete Unix newbie and know my way around a command shell, I've failed in my attempts at installing XFree86 on my Mac OS X box. I'm considering purchasing OpenOSX.com's GUI installation CDs for this and a few other packages (see link below). I have a couple of questions...

    VPC 5 + Win98 = Registry Error Loop

    I just purchased Virtual PC with DOS to install my own copy of Windows 98. I followed the instructions Connectix provides, but upon first launch into the newly installed Win98, I get a message telling me the Registry has a problem that can be fixed by rebooting the computer. Rebooting causes a...

    Mouse Sticking & Slowing Down

    I'm having trouble with my mouse (Microsoft Intellimouse 1.0) sticking and slowing down on me. It seems to have begun when I recently tried turning on Web Sharing. It's back off now, but the problem persists. I know this could just be coincidence. Anyone else have these problems and know...

    PalmOS for Newton

    I remember a while back someone working on a version of PalmOS for Newton. Possibly a slimware emulation project. Does anyone else remember this? Any ideas if this ever got off the ground?

    Newton and Classic mode success story

    I dusted off my Newton 2100 this week to try and get my life back in order after months of chaos. I wondered how well my trusty PDA of choice would perform now that I had Mac OS X installed as my main OS. Much to my delight, I found that with a Newton-compatible Ethernet PC Card, Classic mode...

    What do you miss least about Mac OS 9?

    This isn't a poll because I didn't want to limit the responses, but I find myself really loving X and not missing 9 at all. I would have to say I miss least the annoying habit 9 had of bringing my entire computer to a halt everytime even one application went haywire. Stability, although...

    In future...

    Please learn from the mistakes of Saturday's delivery errors. I know in my town alone, at one location, there were no less than 50 upset Apple faithful roaming around Fry's when the upgrade CDs didn't arrive as promised. I know we may have expected too much, but there was plenty of time to...

    Forum Suggestion...

    How about a section just for comments about Apple as a company. It might be a good way to separate the gripes about Apple's Mac OS X upgrade delivery fiasco from Mac OS X itself.

    Fry's Lies

    At least the one in Austin does. They said they would have "an exponential number" of Mac OS X upgrades available when they opened this morning. They had NONE! I guess that exponent could be zero to the power of zero. :/ Has anyone else actually picked one up this morning? Care to make a...

    10.1 box sighting

    A local store had copies of 10.1 (not upgrade, full version) selling in the aisles last evening. I already own a copy, or I would have bought it immediately. How can this be when the upgrade is being guarded so tightly? Also, another local Apple-supporting chain said that they already have...

    Which are you most anticipating?

    Since Lord knows we need small distractions to keep us all sane, I've been wondering which of these I'm anticipating the most. Probably 10.1, but I have to admit, I'm looking forward to watching the Simpsons and listening to the new TD CD too. How about you?
