Thanks! Reading up now.

What is the effect of losing the efi partition? Sorry, not a BIOS v. EFI expert here. Luckily the machine is for experimentation at this time so the Mac partition is not critical.

RE: Bittorrent: No problems since the original connection is still the same as far as your Mac is concerned (the flow through the First router). Getting things from the second network into the first network's computer may be a little problematic,…

Are they going to give them high speed Internet access at home, too, so they can do their research at a reasonable speed? How about insurance to cover the thefts of some of these computers in areas where there is a higher crime rate? Just how …

Chucker gives the best clue to the problem. OS 9 relegated out-of-focus apps to get only a tiny portion of the CPU. OS X attempts to gauge what each app needs based on multiple criteria and responds willingly to requests from the apps themselves…

Nope, Safari is slower than IE on whinedows. Word is slower than word 98 on OS 9. So is Excel. Teh snappy has never left.

Project is right. For Mac users, the biggest issue will be corrupt files and the like.

You might try picture rescue from prosofteng.com There is a free download that will recover one image so you can test it for free. Hope this helps

First, go with a switch instead of a hub. They are plenty cheap enough and perform much better than hubs. Your biggest issue will likely be whether your cable modem will assign more than one IP (in other words, is you cable company letting you attac…

When will you techies learn that PERCEPTION matters more than fact. It does not matter a whit if OS X is doing 400 things in the background if the user is constantly waiting for the spinning beachball of death or for applications to come to the fron…

COmplete and honest discussion of this might just fall under the Warez/illegal piracy parts of the TOS for AI, but.... There are folks who have called MSFT and ordered an XP SP2 disk for just a few dollars. They had to prove that they were licens…

There are two basic steps to fix this. The first helps you log in if you cannot. First, you can change the log-in passwordf by using the CD/DVD that came with the computer. Boot from the first install disk by holding down the "c" key. If you cannot…

Wahhh! Are we there yet? Uncle Cosmo? Are we there yet? Just Couldn't Resist

Sorry if my previous post was a bit curt. Been working on other things and didn't take time to "humanize" the reply. This subject also comes up with cheap CRT monitors. There are plenty of cheap CRTs and LCDs out there (some with the right (digit…

Hmurchison, The biggest issue I have seen with Apple's LCDs is that they seem to need to be at maximum brightness from day one. I've owned three of them and they all were only acceptable to me at max brightness. The Dell 2005 LCD that I use no…

The Apple monitors are awful compared to almost any other in that price range. Compare the brightness Compare the contrast ratios Check out the refresh speeds Apple's current offerings are only great profit centers for Apple, they are proba…

Macsales.com seems to have some loud detractors, mostly related to their exchange and returns policies. YMMV -- An empty brain will lead to becoming a liberal slavetrader. And the liberal slavetraders control the schools.

This is overkill, I know, but when I get a new Mac, I always reformat the drive, write zeroes using erase options, then reinstall the OS and applications. A fairly easy way to test memory is to fire up photoshop (if you have it) and open a very, …
