I think that could be the reason for the G5 delay. Someone at Apple is waiting for me to make a move. I have to admit that Jaguar has made my G3 Wallstreet a little more valuable than it was, that is the only reason I have been able to wait so long. Calliex

I think the possibility of the G5 being over the horizion is hurting Apple. I know that I have been waiting over two years for it. I do not want to br on the other side of deep chasm when Apple makes a major switch. I bought the IIcx right before the IIci and the 7300 right before the G3. I...

Go to macminute.com they have all the info on the new Gateway there along with the independant comparison. It's curious the tests were done on a iMacs not running Jaguar. The speed differences were quite dramatic. With the Gateway's appearing almost twice as fast as the iMac. It would be...

Did you upgrade or do a clean install? Any other suggestions or warnings would be appreciated. Calliex

I have 10.1.5 running on my 266 Wallstreet Powerbook. I have been happy with it except for the fact I can not capture video with it. I could in OS9. I hope with the Jaguar speed improvement that it would fix the video problem. I heard a report last week that someone upgraded to Jaguar...

Since I do not have a place to host a webpage .mac at $50 a year seems like a good deal. I have not decided if it will be a good deal at $100 a year. The email address is not that important, nor is the virus software. Since my home internet connection is still a dialup most of the features...

I just read on macminute.com that Oracle is coming out with a version it 9i database for OSX. I know Oracle is expensive, but for me it will be great. It will be nice to continue to hone my DBA skills at home on my Mac. It the performance is not to bad it will make Mac's for viable to...

I am running the latest version of OSX on my 266 powerbook wallstreet without a problem. I have 512 meg of RAM. I actually think it runs faster in X than in 9. I intend to upgrade to jaguar. I can only capture digital video in 9 though. It captures in OSX but to slow. calliex

I would like to get a Treo but, can not find much info on them on the web. If anyone has one I would like hear some opinions on them. The biggest drawback for me is the service. Voicestream is their only carrier and in my area the coverage is limited. Other than that how well does the phone...

I have a slow dialup. ATT cable modem is too exspensive for me at $55/month. I think $30 would be resaonable. When I need speed I just take my powerbook book to work. My company would pay for DSL but alas I am too far from the Central Office. The worst part is I live only 10 miles from...

I uploaded 9 pictures I took with my digital camera to my hompage on .mac. I my box throught iphoto the pictures look great. After publishing to the webpage they are way too dark. What is the problem? This is the first time I did this through iphoto. In the past I would place the raw jpg...

A good rule of thumb is: BUY THE COMPUTER YOU NEED TODAY otherwhise youll always be waiting for the upgrade... I agree with you. I know there is always something better about every 6 months. I just don't want to on the cusp of major change like the move to G3 or the move from serial/scsi...

Well it has almost been 2 years now since the first rumor of the G5. Every Macworld since then I hope this will be when they annouce it. I don't know why I hung up on it. I guess it because of my luck. I bought a IIcx right before the IIci came out. The IIci was a better machine. I bought...

Well I signed up for .mac. I figure for $50 I will try it for a year. I do not think it is worth it just email though. I do not have a place to host a web site so I will give it a try for year and see how much I really use it. One thing I know there isn't too much in this world that is free...

A freind has a PowerMac 4400/200 with only 32Mb of memory. His hard disk crashed and asked me if I could do anything with it. I treid Norton Disk Doctor, It said it could not fix the drive too reformat it. At the time someone had put 9.0 on it for him. I tried to reformat and put 9.2 on it...

Well I figured for $50 for one year I would give it a try. After I filled out the online form and hit enter it stated to process my order and them promptly bombed with a server error. I have tried to call Apple because I have no idea if it went through or not. This is what I hate about...

Just read the book Macintosh...The Naked Truth by Scott Kelby. It is a must read for a Mac user. He talks about all the pain we Mac users have to go throught in a PC world. It was a fun read especially the CompUSA section. Calliex

OK I made a couple minute movie. I want to put on my homepage on idisk. What are the optimium settings when exporting and iMovie to quicktime so that it can be seen over the web through itools. I have tried alot of different settings but the video looks blurred or blown up. I am using the...

You need to place the printer on some sort of vibration absorbing pad. When I worked in a mechanical eng lab there was something called isomode padding. Probably would be over kill for this, but something similar would work. Calliex
