    playing/converting .asf files?

    I just downloaded some music videos today that were in the .asf format. I know Windows Media Player plays them, but I really want a better solution. Neither QuickTime nor VLC will open them. Better yet, if anyone knows how I could convert them to some flavor of a .mov or a mpeg that would be nice.

    where to get G3 heatsink/fan?

    I own a 350mhz B&W G3 tower I had overclocked to 400mhz for a few months sucessfully, not a single hitch. Today I've decided to try and push it to 450mhz, upgrade cards are just too expensive for the relatively small benefit they provide over me just overclocking the stock CPU card. But before I...

    10.2 randomly gave me a new resolution...

    I just installed the security update on my Yosemite tower last night, restarted it, and now for some reason I am able to display a resolution of 1920x1080! I didn't think that was even possible with this stock Rage 128 in this old tower. It doesn't scale well to my 17" Apple Sudio Display, it's...
