Thank you for the feedback. I am going to get the One to One. Not for the data transfer; Apple has made that process pretty simple. But I'd like to push myself to try some new things. It would be hard to go wrong for only $99. By the way, I to…

Hiro, you are obviously well-versed on the topic of EULAs, especially as it relates to software; even more particularly to Apple. So its not illegal in that I should worry about being pulled over while having OSX on my MSI Wind in the passenger sea…

Oh my G-d, (Im too old to say OMG), I just went to the Computer World site and started poking around...there is a whole new world out there on OSX for netbooks. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised. I think the desire to meld the two--netbook s…

As long as its not actually illegal, I'll feel free to give "hackintosh" a try. If I get a netbook for $300 or less, I feel I can experiment a bit. If I don't like OSX, or have some trouble with it on a netbook, I can then give GNU/Linux a try. …

My feeling (fear?) that the backup process has become more complex over the years is being confirmed. But I'm not going to be intimidated. Thank you, zanshin for giving me some more options and resources. You gave me one important, but crucial, r…

THank you for your reply and the link. I found a Seagate 300GB external drive for only $134 at buy.com. It's amazing how much prices for storage have gone down in the last year. (How many times has someone said that about technology prices?) On t…

Based on advice I have seen here from time to time, I bought a 1 GB from Crucial. Works perfectly. And maybe its just my imagination but even the most mundane tasks seem a wee bit faster, even if I don't have a lot of applications open. I hope y…

When I posted this topic I was so emotional, a combination of frustration and finally, relief when I just shoved the thing in and knew that I had finally done it. I immediately decided to share the experience to save someone else the frustration p…

I think this is a good thing. Anybody who is a Costco member loves the place--its just the best retail experience out there. People trust Costco merchandise so this can only bolster the reputation of Apple. It may help a wee bit in making the iMacs …

oh oh. I did the transfer this evening--without checking back here first--and I did not repair permissions upon the completion. Fortunately, all seems well. I did have a glitch with iPhoto. The images did not show. They made the transfer and I could…

Thank you, Xool. Thats what I was hoping Id hear. I guess in Tiger they no longer have a separate Setup and Migration Assistant??its now just Migration Assist. which can be used at setup stage as well as later on. This info reduces my stress le…

I have a practical question from a solely consumer user. I'm going to be buying next year--a mini or an iMac. Would I notice a difference in terms of launching applications from the slower hard drive in the mini? And are there other limitations impo…

Back in the day, when LCDs were just becoming afforadable, there was the Formac brand which competed well with the Apple monitors. They were stylish and had similar performace at a lower price. But I don't see them mentioned recently. Are they no lo…

I have an older Powermac--733MHz G4. I don't do any one thing that is especially taxing of the system but I do have many applications open at once. Plus, the little work I do with graphics under Photoshop Junior (aka Elements) is slow. Printing phot…

Thank you for the advice Cubist. I'll be looking for a 20" iMac so I can have it on my desk by father's day 2006. One reason for considering a dual G4 was its upgradeability. By who (whom?) am I kidding? I'm 51 years old and have never upgraded any …

Personally, I plan to wait a year and at that time buy a used Power PC chipped computer. I don't need the latest and greatest in computers so I hope to sit back and observe for the first year or so of the tansition period. But if I needed one now, I…

Problem solved! Thank you Pyr and lundy. When you suggested that I clone the MAC address I was intimidated by the word "clone". Not to worry however, there is just such an option on the Linksys configuration menu. Selected that option and the world …

I have earthlink cable and faced the prospect of their networking solution, which was to use the phone lines to connect the other computers to their router. I was given advice to find another option, and to save the extra $10 a month charge. I a…

A firewire port on your neck to connect your brain to the computer??? Are you serious?? Firewire your brain to a computer--thats beyond ridiculous. You would need a fiber optic connection at least. Well, there is firewire 1600 and 3200 coming out.…

Mugwump, sounds like you were debating whether or not to even bother commenting in a thread about MOSR. Im glad you did. Funny and interesting story. Pathetic, to be sure, but fascinating turn of events. MOSR getting it right at times is analagou…
