For better or worse, the last two times I tried to log onto spymac, their server was down. I suspect they may have gone the way of the iwalk. Or maybe apple's legal team finally pulled their plug (heehee). -Chet

I too am in the medical field. I've tried epocrates and the electronic version of the pocket pharmacopia on my palm and have been underwhelmed. I also downloaded several of the current concept books for my pocket pc as reference and they take an eternity to open. In part I guess it depends on...

That's the only one in Raleigh as far as I know. I'm originally from Greenville so we used to trek up there to CompUSA (me) and to Crabtree Valley Mall (the rest of the family). I heard you were getting an apple store, thought it was only a rumor. I may have to see about transferring back to NC...

Actually the cube is my wife's so I don't dare go messing with it. I have replaced the hard drive in my imac, powerbook (Pismo) and daughters clamshell ibook. The last one was hard on the nerves. I've got several external drive enclosures. I mostly use them for archives and back-up. I find the...

In all honesty. No. The pocket PC is another palm-like address book/note pad. The Newton is really a small computer with some really robust programs still available. I couldn't afford the Newton when it was first released so I've only been a Newton user for a year or two. That means I've had to...

Since Mac OS X doesn't officially support any scanners without the use of 3rd party software, I'd have to say none. For now I guess you are supposed to scan in 9.x (I don't think you can even scan in classic can you, I haven't tried) and then import the file (I assume twain or similar) for OCR...

Oh, I am truly jealous. Did someone say they saw the new imac at CompUSA in Raleigh. I was just at CompUSA in Greensboro, NC on one of my monthly treks and they didn't have them yet. Maybe I need to plan another trip. I was looking into a G4 tower but with monitor the system would run about...

Finally, a chance that my Jornada 540 will finally come out of the box in the garage. If you haven't heard there's a new program which allows you to sync your (fill in your most distained pocket pc) with your mac. Right now it's fairly basic for moving files, but the pro version due for release...

Addendum: As an example of the continued activity within the Newton community, today (actually yesterday I didn't know it was so late) a plug in was released (for free) which allows you to download MP3 songs into the newton. Using a second program (also free) you can play these songs. Ok so it's...

Yes, there are several useable Apple II emulators available. They do require you to provide your own "ROM" file as apple still considers that to be apple property. You can find this on line also if you look around. I don't have specific addresses but I ran across a site a few weeks ago so...

In the early days of 9.x, with the release of itunes, authoring support and all kinds of new extensions for firewire there were lots of problems, with firewire ports on certain models of Macs disappearing. They wouldn't even show up in the system profiler. A lot of people (per various forums)...

Anyone here having any better luck loading and running InDesign on MacOS X. Reportedly there is a problem with the installer. Adobe is aware as they are telling customers to run the program in Classic Mode until they can determine why some are having problems and others aren't. I consistently...

I read online the reason for Apple's phasing out of the 12 inch monitor was because the manufacturer of those screens (in Japan or Korea) was phasing them out in favor of the 14 inch screen. Maybe a rumor but at the time it seemed to be a reliable source (MacWorld or Cnet). I love my 12 inch...

I have a Newton MP 2000 upgraded to a 2100. I use a keyspan PDA adapter cable to connect it to my mac via USB in Mac OS 9.2.2. Haven't tried to connect in classic using OS X but some say it will work. There are currently a lot of Newtons available on ebay for $150 as several companies are...

My Apple IIe - Somewhere out in my garage is my good old Apple IIe. I loaded it up with 1 meg of extra memory (which at the time cost an arm and a leg) a mouse, an RGB card, a printer interface card, an on card 10 MB hard drive, 128 K built in memory and the sweetest addition, a Rocket Chip...

Recently read that Circuit City was dropping the few macs and little hardware they were already carrying. For those of us who live in the boonies this is a real disappointment. The closest Apple Store is a full days drive away and I enjoyed getting to touch and feel the imacs and ibooks they...

"Take out the papers and the trash...Yackity Yack, don't come back." I had a similar problem some time back. I tried all the aforementioned methods of emptying a stubborn trashcan. Finally I ran Norton Utilities. It identified that the file should have been discarded and got rid of it. I've...

To save money on upgrades, don't buy retail. In most cases going back to the original manufacturer seems to be cheaper. One example, ViaVoice X. retailing for well over $100 most places, I originally ordered the upgrade from IBM for $75. After a week or two delay I received an email message...
