    iChat and setting "Away" message

    Ok, well I found a partial answer so far. The status will change to Away when the screen goes dark, as part of Energy Saver functions. Now, any idea how to change the default "Away" to say more than "Away" ?

    iChat and setting "Away" message

    Is there anyway to have iChat automatically set itself to an Away message after a period of inactivity (or when the screensaver comes on) and can I cnfigure this away message?

    Still Not Sold - But Getting There

    Welcome to the gray zone! It's not a bad place to be. I use both Windows, and Mac. My Widnows machine is mainly for work, and Mac is for all the good stuff, videos, music, photos, etc. To me computers are tools, like wrenches, and socket sets. Im sure you could get by with one, but you can...

    Will Apple drop OS X in favour of Windows?

    Is it possible? In the computer industry, anything is possible. The points made in the article are somewhat questionable. Microsoft and Apple have always had coopetition. (they work together on some things and compete in other areas. all computer comapnies do it.) His IBM analogy is...

    Nano connecting to stereo?

    mini-din is an older audophile term. Comes from the fact that the 1/8" jack is a DIN standard (I forget the exact number). DIN is the Deutsches Institut für Normung. It's a standards orginization similar to ISO or VESA.

    Hot Charger Switched Itself Off

    I would say this definitely does not sound normal. I would definitely have it checked out. Do you have it plugged directly to the wall or are you using an extension cord? Either way, I would say this adapter has an issue.

    Recommend an FM Transmitter

    I have used the Griffin iTrip and the DLO transpod. The iTrip was good, but a pain to have a seperate charging cable, and cupdolder thing. The DLO has worked great, and is a good all in one solution. Similiar to the Roadtrip.

    iPod lawsuit

    I doubt this will have much impact. I'm not a lawyer, but as the article points out, there is a warning in the documentation, and even the plantif says he can't prove that the device was the cause. This is an arguement and lawsuit that has come and gone over the years since the first Walkman...

    Sour Grapes Mac site

    I never meant to say that the site was really a negative site, just I was surprised that it seemed to be more people pointing out problems. Legitimate problems I agree, but it just made me chuckle that I almost never see a real positive post. And by all means, Im not saying anything bad...

    Sour Grapes Mac site

    I don't know if this is an appropriate topic or not, but has anyone checked out www.macintouch.com ? It seems every post there is a gripe and a complaint, there is never anything positive there. Only thing worse is reading the discussions in Yahoo! associated with any Apple article.

    What Changed You???

    My computer legacy began with the Commodore 64, and shortly there ended. I hated computers and didn't really use them until college. I then bought a cheap machine and upgraded the heck out of it. After building a few machines and supporting machines at work. I was tired of drivers that...

    iPod FM remote

    The Apple Store lists headphones with a shorter cord as being included. Why you need more headphones I have no idea.

    I have never used iClean, but I have iKlear and have used it with great results on my old iBook, and my powerbook.

    iPod FM remote

    I assume the accesories you mean are the headphones, that is listed on the Apple store as being included... not sure what else I am missing.

    Cooper Tires: Any Opinions?

    I will add my 2 cents. I had cooper tires on my old car for a long time. They happened to be the only ones I could get quickly that fit. I found them to not be an issue and wore for a good 60,000 miles which is pretty decent.

    iPod FM remote

    I would agree. A recording option would make this device a bit more intriguing.

    Online site for storing a list?

    You may also want to look at www.backpackit.com. The cool part with this one is you can also access it via a widget. http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/business/backpack.html

    Kevin Rose

    Wasn't he going out with sarah Lane? She's a cutie. Is that a enough reason to not like him? I kid I kid.

    What about the ibook

    Seems to me that regardless of these issues the iBook has been very successful. The G3 iBook I bought was my first mac and I loved it. I did outgrow it as I became more accustomed to the mac platform, but my friend is still using that machine with no problems. I would hope that apple takes...

    Apple Announces MacBook Pro

    I would somewhat agree with the name being wrong. I understand the idea of discarding "power" since it does not use the ppc. And I think it does make sense to reaffirm that these systems are macs. I don't think the name flows as well as powerbook, or ibook, or maybe it takes some getting...
