  • OK, I copied/pasted all the replies, ordered them all (there were huge gaps in the numbers, re numbered them), and removed duplicate/joke advantages. So here we go! 1: Mac OS X NEVER crashes!!! 2. No .dll hell. 3. No Windows Product Activation…
  • 256MB will run OSX (just very slow). 512MB is good, but it can still have ram-lag pauses when changing between programs when you have a lot open. >512MB is the go I have 512MB, and its ok. A lot better than 256 was, and 256 was a LOT bette…

  • Apple's moves on "the next version of quicktime" have been known for AGES, since they told all. QT6 (tentative working title) will feature a major shift in compressed video for quicktime, a move so big, the default encoding system has been comple…
  • corvette, in the kboard control panel, turn up the key repeat rate setting. scrolls much faster
  • AI's screenshots are a rip of the ones already posted. Same dimensions it seems, different file size (larger, ie AI re-exported to cover their tracks on a higher jpg compression setting...). The giveaway is the context menus. Exactly the same …

  • yes Ric I believe it does. The UI rocks, but I just don't like the new properties thing. It consolodates so much into one pallete - however its ONLY viewable as a big thing at the bottom of the screen, as opposed to a side panel. meaning my windo…

  • Yes I'll be waiting until whenever the next powermac update is, basically. It will be due for one in jan/feb/march, but the earlier the better. Just hope I don't have to wait until next august OK so buying maya is a ripoff then. hmmm. I think …
  • Right... so for the powermacs to be better for 3D than they are now, its the bus that really needs the boost (DDR's bus). Interesting, thanks I'm buying in Jan, before uni starts in March (AU). So hopefully the bottom model will have a supe…
