  • You just be able to position it and push down (with a little bit of pressure) until it snaps in. My cat took f2 off of an old powerbook and that is how I got it back on, it was good as new.
  • I have only seens USB/firewire scanners for Mac. I only use single sided scanners so I can't talk about the pro class. You can get most to work with Image Capture, but since you are looking to do it over the network you will need something with soft…
  • Quote: Originally posted by soonToBeMac I'm looking for a hard drive enclosure that has the "mac style" ie the white look. Looking for a firewire connection too. any help would be great. thanks. Thats a true mac fan, nothing on the desk tha…
  • Please get rid of it, I can't use the site and listen to music at the same time
  • I have a black macbook and a 17" MBP. The latter is not portable, it is more like a mobile desktop -- but that is why I bought it. I really do think that the Black MB is the best portable notebook Apple has ever made. I had used 15" powerbooks fo…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Mr. H O.K., I've got to the party late, but here goes: It's been touched on in the last few posts, but S-video is not exactly a "constant" that solely determines the picture quality that you will achieve: Let's t…
  • If he is considering over a thousand for a mini for his living room and has a big TV, I'm sure he has a relatively nice DVD player. Here, I will put it in the form of a question ... Will a mac-mini with a s-video output offer the same quality …
  • Alright, it was off topic. No one forced to your reply though.
  • Are you telling me that I can plug my computer into the TV via s-video, play a DVD and get the same quality are playing the same DVD in a standard DVD player?
  • I was under the impression that the 5220.22 standard instructed a 3+ pass writing zero's to all bits. Kickaha -- I understand that was the point of the thread. I was just wondering what was so sensitive that he/she was only using the consumer OS …
  • Quote: Originally posted by Chucker No, you don't. But if you are interested in people actually reading your posts and taking them seriously, then yes, proof-reading is going to help an awful lot. I don't care if you take me seriously or rea…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Kickaha Except that if the quality *matches* his current display, how is anything being downgraded? He certainly can't do any *better* than his display, but that wasn't the part he was replacing. It's difficult to …
  • Quote: Originally posted by Chucker WTF kinda business of yours is it what drumsticks or troberts are "hiding"? Privacy rights exist for a reason, and just zero'ing out a hard drive is not enough to fully get rid of data. Oh so the DOD seven …
  • Sorry about the apostrophes, I didn't think I needed to proofread on a forum. Alright, go for it. Buy a mac-mini and use a composite output. Just be warned the quality it not going to be like it when the computer is plugged into a monitor. Why…
  • The more important question is, what are you trying to erase? If you are no longer using a machine, just write 0's to all the bits. Otherwise, what are you hiding?
  • Quote: Originally posted by Kickaha Funny, most of the TVs in use still have coax or audio/video RCA jack input... S-video is a step up for them. Oh noes!11!!! How do they stand it?!? Most people that would spend $799 on a macmini, plus $90…
  • Most of the newer high end plasma's have DVI-D inputs. Most of the newer plasma's and high end LCD's have HDMI inputs. Older high end plasma's usually have VGA input. Scan conversion drastically degrades quality in most situations. While watching…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Trendannoyer erm... apple also provide a S-Vhs adaptor dont they, so that would work I take it you mean s-video. I have that. The quality isn't good at all. You need to keep it digital, otherwise you are wasting yo…
  • Does your TV has VGA/DVI/HDMI input? If not, you will have a problem. There is no good way to convert to a composite output. If the TV only have HDMI out of the three, you might be in for an hour or two with DisplayConfigX. I have never done DVI to …
