  • Don't forget, Apple had the nano launch planned over a year ahead of time. Motorola was LATE getting their phone out, and it happen to be around the same time the nano launched --- tough cookies.

  • You don't mention what type of a machine you have -- Powerbook, iMac, PowerMac, etc. If you have a PowerMac (tower), then you can look for an internal PCI card to insert into one of the open slots. I just picked up a Belkin F5D7000 802.11g card f…

    in Will Tiger run faster than Panther? Comment by pubguy April 2005

  • I think what happens when you create a sparse image is that the size you specify is the MAXIMUM size the image will grow to. For example, I just created a 2.8G blank sparse disk image. The actual file size is only 28M. So it will progressively take …

    in Tiger: Upgrade or Clean Install...which are you going to do? Comment by pubguy April 2005
  • As mentioned before, file vault encrypts YOUR home directory with 128-bit encryption. If someone takes the OS X boot CD and knows how to reset the administrator password, then they can get into your machine -- however -- they can not get into your e…

  • IF you decide to get Virtual PC for your Powerbook, make sure you have at least 512MB of memory. If you already have a Windows install disk, you can just purchase the base (DOS) version of Virtual PC and install Windows onto it just like it was a PC…
