I'm thinking of getting an external DVD burner for my Powerbook. Any suggestions?

Back in my heathen WinXP days I used Microsoft Money to manage all my finances, budget, etc. but after switching to Mac I just haven't really found anything I'm overly impressed with. I actually still have my PC and use Microsoft Money on it b/c I like it so much. So, I'm looking for suggestions...

My old 8302C HP just died refusing to print yellow. Bought new color cartridge $30 and still won't print yellow. NUTS. Replacement time. Had Epson years ago with 6100. Printed fine but seemed to clean on every start and inkjet printhead could clog easily. Prefer HP which replace printhead...

I'm currently working on a project caled île sans fil (wireless island) in Montréal. Check out the site for an idea of what it's all about www.ilesansfil.org (yes there's an English side don't worry ;)) I've taken that idea and run with it a bit in Ottawa, to devise ottawireless.org. The...

The Belkin and Griffin docks are for cars with cupholders. I found this page that has a vent mount, or a windshield mount. I don't know about having it show from my windshield or in front of a vent if the heater is on. Any suggestions? http://www.arkon.com/ipodaccessories.html

My dad is planning on opening up a new cat & dog boarding kennel called Stone Mountain Pet Lodge. It will be located in Blaine, MN and will open sometime in mid-2005. It will be one of the nation's premier pet kennels! We are planning on making it an all-Mac operation, starting with a...

I'm a device driver type writer and have not had much experience with GUI applications. I want to write an accounting system (primitive). I know about GNUCash but I'm not happy with it. I was going to do a PostgrSQL DB driven by PHP so that I could use it anywhere on the web. So, any web...

My friend just launched a new website, BehindTheLyrics. Right now, it's just a typical lyrics website, but he wants it to grow into a good music community, so he's trying to spread the word. Why do you guys think? I'll pass your suggestions on to him. :) He showed me some of the code...

I'm playing Neverwinter Nights at the moment. As you all can see from my Signature Machine Spec, my current G4 733MHz Quicksilver tower is a little underpowered graphics card wise (it's the only real weak link for this game at the moment, as my CPU has no problems with the AI or anything else)...

I have a Dual 1.25Ghz Mac. I think it is called the mirror drive door model. I'm looking for a PCI firewire 800 adapter. I'm sure there are a lot of them but I'm asking for peoples experience with them. Which ones have you tried and which ones seem to work. I have a friend who claims to...

Hey - i'm interested in getting a digital web cam for my mom so she can see our upcoming baby via iChat AV. She's on a G4 Cube & I've got a dual 2Ghz G5. As I'm planning to buy a firewire DV Cam (CanonZR80) I won't be buying an iSight for myself (I assume that should work, right?). As...

I have a 450MHz 10 GB G4 that I have really outgrown. Of course, I'd love to just get a new Mac, but that isn't looking like an option. What can I do to increase the performance of my G4? I am looking to start with a bigger internal HD. Any brands to recommend? How much can my Mac handle...

As the topic says, I'll be moving to the area of Woodstock, NY in a few weeks. What a change from Arizona, eh? Anyway, I'm having a little trouble finding housing in the area. Looks like the nearest apartments are a good half hour out of the way. And in the winter, I'm sure that time will be...

I'm looking to replace an aging Proxima projector and need some first hand advice on what to and what not to consider. It is for classroom use, around 15 - 20 hrs/week, in subdued ambient light. It should be rugged as it may be moved from class to class. I need keystone correction! What is...

I have OS X running on a dual 1.25Ghz G4 and my startup drive is on an 80GB RAID 0 array. I'd like to know if anyone has any suggestions on a backup solution... right now I have a 120GB video capture drive, and have 2 Hard Drives in the startup array. I was thinking about buying 2 120GB hard...

OK, here's sort of what we have now, and APC's suggestions. Eventually we're going to replace the silly Compaq with an XServe (hopefully) or some similar rackmount server. The primary and only purpose for this Compaq at the moment is running FileMaker Server. I'm basically looking for a...

any thoughts on my site design so far? I just wanted to get people's opinions.... Temporary design: http://www.michaelstecker.com Eventual design (will be completely in flash when I'm done): http://www.michaelstecker.com/index-flashdetect.php Also, I am available for any design or...

This isn't a Mac-related question, but I thought I'd ask it here anyway. Our DVD player (as in the one that hooks up to the TV and the 5.1 surround sound system) finally decided to kick the can. (It choked on a horse, and the horse's name was Seabiscuit. :D) This old Sony was showing signs...
