I do recommend Dreamweaver MX. I agree that it's user interface could still do with some improvements both in overall design and also on a micro level there are some glitches in the Aqua interface - presumably as a result of it being a Carbon applic…

It might be neither a typo nor any magical insight on the part of the publisher of Tony Hawk. It could just be sensible future-proofing. Presumably they expect to sell this products for a number of months/years, they now it requires a G4 process…

I have a Powerbook G4 400 with IrDA and I use it occassionally to dial-up using my Siemens S45 phone. The phone has an IrDA receiver and an internal modem. You need the right modem script, but Apple supply a few nokia/motorola cellphone scripts on t…

In my opinion, the story is a red herring to encourage dithering parties on a slightly different deal to sign up. The Wall Street Times reports again the rumour that Apple is expecting to launch a music download service within weeks with music fr…

Between Apple Works (already has (limited)WP/DTP/Spreadsheet capabilities), Open Office, Keynote, iMail, Safari and Address Book, it shouldn't take a huge effort to create a more co-ordinated package that can do 90% of what Office can do just as wel…

Mail.app certainly has all the features I need but there are a few things that let it down. It seems to be optimised for a fast/permanent connection to the internet and I get several problems with my 56k modem connection. The mac.com email tries …

[quote]Originally posted by BrunoBruin: I love the looks of the 12-inch and would seriously consider one, but I sold my iBook to get a PowerBook chiefly because the screen was just too small for me to do any serious work. I was thinking of upgradi…

[quote]Originally posted by wmf: The FireWire 400 port is good if you don't obsessively carry the converter cable at all times. I don't think the iPod would benefit from FireWire 800 and most Macs don't have it, so iPod will stick with the old c…

[quote]Originally posted by Aquatic: Like I mentioned earlier instead of spending money on scanner RAM why not spend it on FireWire, since they both speed it up? Read his post again - the 72MB RAM is in the printer not in the scanner.

[quote]Originally posted by Barto: However, all this would be useful for is some tiny little app for which there is no Mac equivilent. Would it be worth Apple building a "Windows.app" just for that? After all, Virtual PC is pretty effective. …

[quote] Microsoft Office is a VERY MINOR piece of business software here in America. Most businesses and industries have thousands of "in-house" or "PC-only" custom software programs that they use on a daily basis. Hospitals have specific RECORDS…

Well I'm glad I managed to shift this discussion back to low-cost macs I agree with Matsu - what I had suggested was not a FULL thin client as seen in the not-too-successful Sun boxes, but more of a no-frills desktop that is capable of running…

It seems to me that the focus of this thread is slightly off. All the discussions about who wants and who is buying sub-$500 PCs is focussing on unsophisticated private users who are only interested in price and only have limited ambitions for the P…
