  • I have one of these. I never got a burner for it but try the listings at xlr8yourmac.com. They're about as comrehensive as anything. Do you know what system it is running? I'd recommend version 8.1 or 8.6. If it only comes with the original syste…
  • I'll third the NAD. They spend the money on sound and build quality rather than frills and flashing lights. Denon makes some nice stuff too. Consider used stuff also; unless you need the latest greatest surround stuff you can get some great used bar…
  • If Apple really has 135M shares outstanding then purchasing them at $45 per share works out to 15 to 17 billion bucks. <cough> not going to happen. I suppose IBM could bu enough shares to take effective control of the board (5%?). …
  • [quote]Originally posted by apple.otaku: This is most unusual. Its a first, I'll tell you that. Of course, there is the possibility that the person responsible for these taglines is in big trouble. I'm thinking of going to my local Apple Store t…
  • Name: More colour options for UI Description: To be able to select the UI highlight colour from the standard colour wheel. Example: Aqua and Graphite colours in current UI. Name: Much more intelligent power management Description: Example:…
  • The aqua look and feel has been sliced, diced, analysed, improvised, and put back together again. There are few trade secrets in design (visual ones at least). For more information on how to create an aqua button try a good photoshop site such as…
  • * fix the clock "menu" back so that it shows the date when you click it rather than bringing up that rediculous menu each time (yes, I know the date is in the menu). You might be surprised how often I click that thing for the date-- days and weeks o…
  • Suitcase is buggy. I haven't had problems with the install (try running it from OS9?). That said I've had lots of problems:automatically adds multiple copies of itself to my startup routinely crashes during reboots/logins isn't really integrated bet…
  • Hate to post on my post but I forgot a question... I have a license for Fontographer but in the 5-6 years I've had it I don't think it has ever been updated. Dead App. Anyone know of an equivelant app that might find it's way to OS X? I'd esp…
  • [quote]Originally posted by Programmer: I was thinking much the same thing. Not a bad idea really, as it sidesteps the whole notion that the G4 is obsolete... the G5 would be billed as a workstation/server class machine for those who need real…
  • I used to have a fantasy that Apple would buyout the Alpha project or at least its engineering team. No go obviously. Such a route adds some definite ugliness to Apple's roadmap. Transitioning to OSX is plenty enough for quite a while. Big devel…

  • [quote]Originally posted by Programmer: A lot of hardware developers show up at WWDC -- there is no Apple hardware-only show or conference. Personally I think if the OS is going to go 64-bit before WWDC '03, then they will announce it and the chip…
  • Wacked it up quickly so excuse the crudeness. The back side would be curved so that the middle is wide enough to hold the guts and the left and right edges thin enough for the flat speakers to show through the back. Besides the front two legs, there…
  • [quote]My opinion? No PC has ever run on a 64-bit architecture chip Well, I guess it depends on how you define PC. Itanium is 64bit as well as Alpha, HPs chip, and others. Not as consumer level as Apple for sure though...
  • [quote]Nope, given the required hardware functionality (a necessity for any Apple computer), Connectix could soon produce a full speed emulation layer, and so could the folks working on Windows ABI compatible interfaces for Linux. Hell, I'll do it m…
  • (1) Using an AMD chip does not necessarily imply that you could run Windows on the machine. The rest of the motherboard is important too. With different support chips Apple could maintain a unique platform. It would be easier for Wintel to port Wind…

  • I can't see them releasing a whole whack of consumer thingies all at once. Even if they were all ready, releasing one every week or two increases the hype and free advertising. The MP3 market looks alot like the digital camera market. Also, Apple…
  • I don't know about G5s etc. but I'm intrigued by the possibility of of a new consumer dohicky to match iMovie (and iPhoto?) just as iPod matches to iTunes. What I'd like to see is a digital video camera that can take decent stills. It would have …
