  • Whereabouts in Japan are you. I visited Japan 2 summers ago. I was in Fukuoka for about a week and worked my way up to Kyoto and eventually Tokyo during the folowing week and a half. It was amazing. Rhopongi was wild. Anyhow, beautiful country.
    in iPod headphones Comment by taq February 2002
  • got mine yesterday. This thing is SWEET. alliance and mithras, I set up playlists to manage. I haven't set up a sync playlist. One of the cool things I did was add songs to my playlist that are on my server and have them transfered over. Gran…
    in Your iPod Stats Comment by taq January 2002
  • I get my iPod tomorrow. Can't wait. I'll post my stats when I do. How do you guys manage your playlists? I have 14 gigs of mp3's so I'll need a little more space than "1000 songs in my pocket". Any suggestions? Now if only that new iMac would ship..…
    in Your iPod Stats Comment by taq January 2002
  • After much debate, (see 'should i buy an iPod or wait?' under current hardware) I decided to get one. It came in yesterday. This has to be the coolest mp3 player I have ever used. It kicks the nomad's ass. As far as capacity...well, if I want to cha…

  • I thought of USB overdrive...and yep, no joystick or gamepad supprot yet. I'll try gamepad companion. Thnaks guys.
    in Input Sprokets and Gravis Gamepad Pro Comment by taq February 2002
  • The Apple math science link doesn't have anything useful for doing the kinds of stuff I need to do...error bars, linear regresions, curve fits, etc. SPSS would be good. I have a copy of Statview running. Deltagraph does work under Classic on X, but …
    in Graphing and Stats for OSX Comment by taq January 2002
  • douthat, I checked out the setup your thinking of getting. My main concern is hard drive space. If you're getting an external then it's okay, otherwise, get the big hard drive. Also, don't get the Airport card from Apple. You can usually get buy …
    in My first mac. Which one? ibook / powerbook? Comment by taq March 2002
  • Whiners suck silicon. NEC, Dell, Compaq, and IBM are all raising their prices by as much as 30%. Apple raises by 7% and people complain. Sure it sucks to pay more, but everybody (PC or Mac) is going to have to pay more. Apple buys as it needs. This …
    in NEW iMac - now Revision B and more expensive? Comment by taq March 2002
  • use opera. It displays text better than explorer.
    in New iMac Display Comment by taq March 2002
  • I agree there with applenut. As The Apple Turns (appleturns.com) has a great and witty explanation at why the benchmark is biased against ppc platform. As I understand it, it's altivec that gives G4's their supercomputer fame. Without them enabled y…
    in Benchmarks demolish Apple speed boasts Comment by taq March 2002
  • [quote] my new slogan: screw the imac...it's all about THE CHAIR! It IS all about the chair. I wish I had an Ikea outlet in San Antonio. Maybe I'll drive to Houston....Okay, I'll drive to Dallas and visit the Apple Store and the Ikea Outlet…

  • Mac's Girl, you'll love it. It'll go well with your new iMac and that cool chair in your pictures.

  • iSub works with new iMac. When I ordered it, I called Apple and asked. They said they were fully compatible with the iSub. so, there you go...not only from people who have an iSub hooked up, but if you want, call apple, and get it from them too.
    in Pro Speakers with new iMac Comment by taq March 2002
  • Congrats, you'll love it. If you can, get an iSub for $59 at the Apple Store. The pro speakers alone don't pack enough punch. I got them with my flatscreen iMac and am glad I got the extra iSub. Without it they sound weak. With it....well lets just …

  • Because, third person talk is so Seinfeld, and Seinfeld is so 2 years ago.
    in Quality of LCD screens...? Comment by taq March 2002
  • I agree there with alpha mac. I've found color fidelity to be great on my flatscreen iMac. IMHO the lcd on it is the brightest I've seen, almost annoyingly so. I've also found the vertical tilt angle important for color (this is where I agree with a…
    in Quality of LCD screens...? Comment by taq March 2002
  • 3 resolutions? I thought only two were available. Yep, just clicked on my monitor icon. Only 800x600 and 1024x768. Maybe it's an OsX vs. OS9 thing. Anyhow the display looks great. Hey MacGuru, I'm in San Antonio too!
    in iBook Questions from a Newbie Comment by taq February 2002
  • I read this too in another forum (macintouch I think). Soundz like a load shizat. The plug is very tight, and at least in my hands seems to make great contact. I've come to think that Macintosh's parents just told him they ordered an iMac as some tw…
    in Could this be why it is taking soo long to get the new iMac? Comment by taq February 2002
  • I got a dual USB mac (the fancy one) in August. It rocks, and is "rock" solid. I've dropped it twice....by accident of course, and it runs beautifully. When I've had problems with it I've called tech support and they've been awesome. They Spent abou…
    in Terrible Nasty iBook Comment by taq February 2002
  • Hey KidRed, both the Soundstick sub and the iSub are 20 W subs. The frequency response on the iSub alone is even better than the Soundstick sub. This is made up for in that the soundsticks more than make up for what the sub misses. Overall the sound…
