I use iTunes to catalog all of my music. And when I say MY music, I mean it. I try not to download anything from the web, because I have found that nobody a) encodes files correctly or b) labels them correctly. I have my CD collection completely ripped into my iMac and stored under my bed in...

I'd buy the rack mount computer mention at the Developer's conference if it is not burdened with the 'apple premium', otherwise, I'll stick to my bsd box.

Thoth newsreader (it rocks, that's why) QuickTime Pro (Full screen mode :D ) I was going to register DropStuff, but it is entirely useless since I know my way around UNIX-based systems. I will register Omniweb once they release the next Major, non-beta release. BBEdit is nice but it is...

I have a theory about why the hard-disk no sleeping can help with both problems on this page. I'm watching my lease counter run down on both machines. When my mac sleeps it is completely dead to the world, a magic ping can't even wake it once the hdd is down. I wonder if it is possible that when...

I've been having problems with nat recently as well. It seems that my mac goes to sleep for an extended period of time, and when it comes back up, its interface will not talk to my natd-based firewall. I'm not running ipfw because I have had enough problems with that in the past. It's a real...

I used classic once or twice. I have never rebooted into it. I don't even know why it is still around. If I had my way, I'd move everything off, re-install osx and start fresh without 9.

I've worked for several companies that took access seriously as something more than a desktop database. They ceased to use it when they realised it wasn't scalable and had a habit of corrupting itself. Companies like the one I work for reject Access as a database on those grounds. We do use...

While the isub is compatible with the system, I hope you don't end up having the same problem I am having with the speaker. Usually, it generates great bass, but sometimes while playing any sounds, it suddenly sounds like the speaker blew its cone. This is not the case, as a mute will not fix...

I just wish there was a console brick house for FreeBSD.

OSX: Otto Matic Myst III That's about it. I'll play some of the shareware games out there from time to time, but I have a hard time paying for some of them for many reasons. For one, 640x480 screen resolution messes up my desktop later, beside being blurry. Also, the quality is sometimes...

Wow, I didn't think people bought that trash. There is no amount of splicing that will get this working on your friend's system. If she honestly thinks that a stupid proprietary hack is worth selling her iMac, then it is really her loss. I wouldn't personally throw out that particular baby...

I've been using dvorak for about 2.5 years now. The keyboard I'm currently typing on is a Kinesis Classic QD, which is hardwired for Querty and Dvorak, with keycaps for both. I find dvorak better for typing when I need to write something. The 'strumming' action of the typing is certainly more...

I have a SE and a 512. They both work, and I'm in the same boat. I want to find some old zork floppies or something and play on the mac. A dedicated Interactive fiction computer would be cool.

Andromeda Angel Buffy Earth: Final Conflict Enterprise Farscape Jeremiah Stargate SG1 The Shield Six Feet Under The Sopranos Strange World But, on any given week, only like 2 of those are new.

*click on trashcan *hit apple-I *read the size I know it's not obvious (or on a toolbar at the bottom) but the information can still be gotten.

I have no problem with a 640x480 DiVX -> MOV converted file that I made of an episode of kanon running in full screen. I think the aspect may have been close enough to stave of the extra math while in presentation mode.

I was thinking for a april fool's trick to replace my NT box at work with my Mac 512k :D

I found a Centris 660AV this weekend with 8 megs of RAM and a 250 MB hdd running MacOS 7.1. I also found a Macintosh 512k and a Dual-floppy SE. All for free, and all work just as well as they did when they were first sold. The Centris is is plenty fast for its age, and I've now no doubt it...

I got sick of my 10-BaseT hub last night (single collision half duplex hub, that) so I bought a Cat 5e cross-over to hook my iMac up to my firewall. It now runs at full 100-BaseT without spending 70 dollars on a hub. Same solution for 10% of the cost? I'm down with that. BTW: most crossovers are...

I like some of the new tidbits to come out from Tokyo, but I'm not going to be heading over to the apple store to make any major purchases. The 23" monitor is quite nice, and having just seen the 22" compared to the other monitors, it was quite impressive. An extra grand for an extra inch...
