    considering moving to mac : powerbooks

    Its called 'screen spanning doctor' its a script you use to enable it...pretty simple and it works great. I believe it works for others like the G5 iMacs etc. that don't allow for an external monitor to do anything but mirror. 0.3.3 is newest release. Tiger compatible...get it here joneSi

    Why couldn't Apple go With AMD?

    Well, I'm not sure how I feel about it right now....but I accept the future of Mac computing, so long as I can stay with OS X. I made the switch when I bought my iBook back in February. I guess I am kinda disappointed, however, I realize that apple will not leave us in the dark with brand...

    PlayStation 3 revealed

    I thought I was the only one getting the Spiderman 'hit' on that. LOL, I've really enjoyed my PS1 and 2. I look forward to getting the 3 as well. I'll happily wait a year...I like how MS is calling the new XboX, the 360. It seems like they are trying to make it the 3rd one (Three - Sixty)...

    Tiger install screwed a Powermac G5

    Well, I just fresh installed an iBook 1.2 ghz w/ 768mb of ram with Tiger. 512 of the Ram is NOT apple ram, its corsair memory. Its not a big deal for me...but I would think that if you tried to install without all but apple ram, that might work. BTW...Tiger is definately cool.. Not...

    Help!!!!! From Tiger to Panther downgrade

    Well, since you are going from Tiger to Panther with a brand spankin' new Mac, I would guess that the new Superdrive, which is Dual Layer, is NOT supported in Panther, and is in Tiger. I may stand corrected on this. I would suggest a little gem of a program called patchburn, google it, it...

    Will these work with Tiger

    According to sidetrack website and info there needs to be some permissions that Tiger gets upset with after the install...but if you fix the permissions it is supposed to be ok. Update to avoid the problem to come shortly. I honestly did not get a Mac for a long time because I didn't think...
