  • Not that I believe in what MOSR says, but... Would it be a 16x9 44" display?

  • According to MacUser UK "Maya 6... Mental Ray is a third-party renderer, which is used in many other high-end 3D systems, including SoftImage XSI and 3D Studio Max". So the modelers may be different, but there doesn't seem to be any difference be…

  • Oh yeah, ask the question at http://www.cubeowner.com. They are most helpful.
    in G4 Cube - GeForce 2 MX and a 20" Cinema display Comment by jido October 2004
  • First thing, careful with overheating with the Apple OEM version of the GeForce 2MX. Personally I underclocked it before sticking it in the Cube. The black borders are probably because the output was a 3x4 screen ratio and the monitor is wide. It…

  • Does it happen when your iPod is not connected? Do you have a file /Library/Logs/panic.log? You should call Apple again with the new info. Tell them the problem is not resolved.

  • Did you select "Mouse" as device in the Bluetooth Assistant? I don't think you can disable the passkey with "Other device".
    in Will Microsoft's IntelliMouse Explorer for Bluetooth work with a Mac? Comment by jido October 2004
  • Wireless connection will work fine with any Airport card (sold as option) as long as the router is not limited to 802.11a. Any new Mac will come with MacOS X 10.3.5. If you buy second-hand, you may need to buy MacOS X 10.3 which you can upgrade w…

  • Don't think there is any chance of a Windows malware mounting your Mac disks and damaging them from inside Virtual PC. I use ZoneAlarm to protect my Windows installation, and I avoid Internet Explorer as much as possible (http://kmeleon.sourcefor…

  • Looks like you want a HD enclosure. If it was for an optical drive I would go for WiebeTech or StorCase Rhino Jr. You could try the MacPower products, they are cool and quite cheap. http://www.macpower.com.tw/products/hdd3/icecube/ic_800
    in Favorite Firewire Enclosures? Comment by jido October 2004
  • Scanner/printer/fax all-in-ones ca ndo the job. The HP 4210 is about $150 and comes with Readiris. You can put only 20 sheets in the feeder tray though as I understand.

  • Okay, as planned I put the Nec 2510A in a Prefect FireWire enclosure. It is totally silent afaict. I didn't do many test yet, but I found out that the drive is recognised as a DVD reader by MacOS X. Disk Utility doesn't support the drive for b…
    in Mac-compatible dual layer DVD burner? Comment by jido September 2004
  • I ordered the Nec 2510A OEM for £49 inc. shipping. I will use it in an external FireWire enclosure connected to my Cube. I could not believe the price! It is just £15 more than the LiteOn Combo drive, which is already good bang for the buck.
