    If You're a Gamer...

    Personally, I love Macs. They're very stable and easy to use. I think the Mac is the best platform for anything--except for one thing. I plan to keep my Mac, and when I have the money, buy a PC for gaming. If you're a Mac user and a gamer, do you own a PC for gaming?

    Best Webpage Ever!

    This would have to be the best website I've ever seen. It has great information, a wonderful appearance, and it's very easy to navigate. Check the screenshot! :p

    Woohoo for ATi! Control panel - FINALLY!

    To my interests and budget this is most definately the very best announcement at MW Expo this year. From Inside Mac Games: Woohoo! The biggest complaint I've had with Mac gaming is that FSAA, Anisotropic Texture Filtering, etc. support is not system-wide. When that control panel is released...

    New Apple Movies (Ads...?)

    SpyMac pointed me to some new Apple movies showcasing Mac OS X Jaguar. Seem pretty neat, and I spotted this heading in the man's email inbox in the Junkmail movie... Anyway, anyone have ideas to what these movies are? Possibly new ads? Are they bagging the 'Switch' campaign? I don't know...

    GeForce or Not to GeForce, that is the question...

    Hi there! I'm thinking of buying a graphics card. I have a GF4MX right now, and I'm thinking of getting a GF4Ti off eBay. What kind of performance gain can I expect? I've seen all the bechmarks, but they're run on 2x 1GHz or 2x 1.25Ghz machines, which can't really be compared to my 933 (I...

    Does the Dock have spring-loaded folders in 10.2?

    Since I don't feel like waiting until next Friday for 10.2 to arrive, I want to know: Does dragging something over a folder in the Dock make the docked folder pop open?

    No more OS 9 support!

    I read in an eWEEK article that a tweak in the not-so-distant future will break OS 9 support on Apple hardware. Now, this seems like a horrible move to me. There are many applications that still only run in OS 9, and while breaking support for those applications will definitely get...

    iTools password won't stick

    Hello, My iTools password won't stick. Every time I set it, it will switch right back to something else. It will change it back when I de-activate the window, log out, restart, or anything else. The password will NOT stick, and it gets really annoying having to open System Prefs and type...

    I want an auto-handler for M3U files!

    Hello, I download songs off of MP3.com, and some of the artists use M3U files (resulting in a stream) instead of normal MP3 files. For every file like this, I must: 1) Download the M3U file 2) Open it in iTunes 3) Get info on the stream 4) Copy the MP3 URL to the clipboard 5) Open...

    I set the "usr" folder to unlimited access

    Hello, I recently had a serious lapse of judgment, and typed this command in the Terminal: sudo chmod 777 /usr It obviously caused some serious problems. I booted into single user mode, and did this so I could use sudo again: chmod 4111 `which sudo` But, the rest of the usr...

    800/933 Performance Difference

    Hello, I'm soon going to buy a new G4. I am going to buy either to 800 or the 933. I am going to put a GF3 in which ever I buy. I'm wondering: how much more game performance does the 933 have over to 800? Is it worth the extra $400? - Chris

    OpenGL Keeps Freezing

    Hello, OpenGL on my little iMac is horribly unstable. Every OpenGL-based game (UT Preview, RtCW, 3DOSX, etc.) freezes after a few minutes or maybe even seconds after launch. One time, UT froze during the CityIntro. Another time, it ran perfectly. 3DOSX totally crashes the computer every...

    iMac or Used G4 Tower?

    Hello, In a few months, I'm thinking of getting a new iMac. I could get a new iMac, or instead I could get a used G4 (maybe a 733, or something). I would really like to have some great game performance so the computer will still run games in two years or so. Would it be worth it (would the...

    Theme Problem

    Hey, I recently tried out the DSX theme. A few minutes later, I switched back to the default Aqua. The little column resize handles and toolbar pop-up menus in the Finder remained dark (like DSX). I re-installed the Finder from a backup I had, and the problem was solved. Next step: the...
