Quote: If you have a PCI slot left, you could plop in a small inexpensive sound card and see how that goes. That sounds like the best idea actually. We put a new sound on the other son's computer so it's something we can do rather easily. Sound …

I just want to commend you, John, for posting the resolution to your question. And you didnt even have anyone to thank since you came upon the solution yourself. For two reasons I like it when posters come back to indicate closure on their problem: …

Eternal question indeed. Ive seen this question on every mac related bulletin board. I've tried some of the ideas that don't require spending money. Never worked. I have my kids (PCs w/ XP) just put things in shared folders and I print them on m…

Quote: "Release the lock switch, detach the USB cable and reconnect. Scanner driver will be closed." This happens in both OS X and 9, I've tried following the instructions and reinstalling the drivers - no effect. I see now that by "following in…

Well, I doubt that the solution to your problem is this simple, but it can't hurt to check the obvious. Do you realize that underneath your scanner is a lock switch that locks the head in place? This is to keep it from being damaged when transported…

Could someone who is better versed in physics explain the advantage of using a liquid that turns to a gas a relatively low temperature as a cooling medium? I know the basic idea: It takes a lot of heat energy to lift matter to a more energetic …

I don't know why this topic elicits such dramatic responses. Mostly negative. (With the notable exception of iSegaway who would champion this cause, I think, to his death.) It either works, or doesn't. Apple will weigh the cost/benefits and imple…

Quote: I'm hoping it becomes the motherboard for a prospective G5 mini. Amen, THT. I suppose it will never happen. I wish Apple would just come out and say that they will never do a cube/mini-tower/pro-sumer model/headless iMac because: A. I…

Costco What? You say they don't make anything? True, but they allow you to buy the stuff from the cool companies at the best prices. By the way, I hope that by cool you don't mean pretentious and overpriced. Unfortunately, that is the rep. th…

Does MacMall routinely offer the educator's discount? Years ago, just before the G4 came out I nearly bought a G3 Power Mac. They offered to essentially match The Apple Education Store Price. I was buying a printer too, as I recall. At the last m…

This thread has become so, I don't know, emotional I guess, that I wasn't going to debate it any longer. But I just thought of an example whereby NOBODY can negate the fact that a liquid-cooled computer is ultimately air-cooled. Here it is! You p…

Quote: As of right now, there are several major areas of the OS that are either ugly (QT), unfinished (text support) or inefficient (GUI responsiveness). These all impact the perceived capability of the machine - which, in real terms, is the capabi…

Ryaxnb, you have shown nothing but civility, as Randycat is saying. That is admirable, especially on Internet bulleting boards where we are anonymous.

I have an LCD but if I were in your position Id definitely go with the CRT. Main factor is screen real estate. It really makes life so much easier. And as far as being hard on your eyes...CRTs don't seem to bother most people in that respect. Espec…

I share broadband (cable modem) among my mac and my 2 son's Windows XP machines. No problem. We can even share files. I did a wired setup since we have desktops. You can do a combination--ethernet to some computers and wireless to your laptop. I …

I have to compliment somebody for resurecting this thread not starting a new one on liquid cooling. Segway, many people, many people smarter than I, have explained that liquid cooling is ultimately air cooling. Believe them! I mean, where does th…

Mac Voyer and I have some things in common. Except Im no voyeur. But I, too, am a non-techy and I had similar impressions with a 1.6 G5 today. There is a lot of talk about snappiness on Apples. Or lack of it. Its a hard characteristic to define…

Im glad I was surfing the genius bar, Im in the market for similar things. Personally, I was considering the model one level up, theLiDE 30. Its resolution is 1200 vs. 600 for the LiDE 20. At Amazon I found this: LiDE 20: $42.69 LiDE 30: …

This used to happen to me. (Why it doesnt happen any more, I dont know. Maybe a newer version of OSX.2). If I stopped the printing job I sometimes had trouble resuming or printing anything new. Resume printing didnt help. I recall that restarting th…

Something very fundamental is wrong. The router is receiving no power or it is completely broken. No matter what the setup, if it is plugged into a working outlet, there should be lights. I also have an Asante router, it has worked perfectly sin…
