    A .mac question. Family pack or just me

    You can always create individual folders in your public folder, i.e. create a family web page which links to each individual one.

    One folder - two computers

    Exactly why I am a dot Mac user. Only $100 a year, and I have access to my files wherever I am, even on the dreaded Windows machines. You can buy it at a discount from Amazon.com. For $8.33 (or less) a month the convenience worth the price.

    Mac mini or Imac g5?

    i know it sounds "unpatriotic", but the Dell 20" widescreen is only $524.25 right now. That opens up another $225. I have a Dell 1901FP, and it really is a nice display. Has a 4 port USB 2.0 hub built in, too, although no Firewire. http://tinyurl.com/bdu84 I've read of high failure rates...

    Can You Use a Debit Card to Pay for iTunes?

    iTunes should be no problem, but be careful about using your debit card for Internet purchases -- it doesn't have the guarantees that a real credit card has -- no disputing, no payment holdbacks in event of non-delivery or double billing, etc.

    Updating from OS9.1 to OS10.3.4

    Did you update the firmware? If I remember correctly, if the firmware is out of date the new OS will be ignored with no message. The firmware update should be on the CD-ROM. BTW, you can download OS 9.2.2 (free) from Apple: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75186

    PowerBook 12" or iBook 14"

    The ibook also only does video mirroring (1024 x 768), unless you do one of the mods I've seen on the forums.
