  • Sorry, Defiant, didn't mean to fall foul of your ever watchful eye. I'm in education and we are being given interactive (white)boards to play with as an educational tool. This basically involves computer,projector etc. but with the program bein…

  • Woah, lads! not my intention to spark a rumble with our American cousins ( being a long time Eagles fan myself ) Fact is, he's big here and this is going to do us no harm at all.

  • I've just read through this thread and it seems interesting but I have no idea what you guys are talking about. Some info please? I'd be interested but doesn't it affect performance of my computer or is it just when I'm not using it?

  • Surely if Pagemaker on the PC can open those files you just save them as P/maker files then open them using P/m on the Mac? Or have I missed the point ? In fact, i'm so sure i've missed the point i'll apologise now

  • Don't have strong feelings one way or the other but I would say that laptops are neither good nor bad in themselves. I'm a teacher and I feel that used well they do offer us opportunities to innovate, cut down wasted time ( as opposed to redrafting …
    in Maine lawmakers seek to break Apple iBook pact. Comment by jimdad July 2002
  • Whatever the rights and wrongs of the situation it seems to me at best to be pretty small minded by Apple and it is never a good idea to make enemies of the press, whether print or web. god, i hate it when we fall out among ourselves. life as a ma…
    in Think Secret : Ban On Rumor Press at MWNY Comment by jimdad July 2002
  • Nostradamus, Why do you still come here? Are you as much of a miserable git in real life as your posts suggest ? Lighten up a little on Apple. From where I stand they seem , for the first time in a long time, to be making genuine inroads in te…
    in A NEED FOR APPLEHEADS TO DEFEND MACS Comment by jimdad May 2002
  • Patchouli, which office apps are you talking about ? I have to use PCs at my school and gave up using Word after a decent attempt of about two months because it was taking me almost half an hour trying to remove all the little intuitive bullet point…

  • Sorry to deviate a little but I also have an Epson 740. With the new OSX driver is there any way to check the level of ink remaining ? BTW We have an Epson C80 at the school and its impressive.

  • Haven't got one myself but my friend tells me that there is some issue with them working slowly on macs if PC formatted and with being recognised on PCs if mac. I'd do a bit of checking - mind you I suppose that's why you posted here. I usual…

    in iLife/Keynote for Educators... Ship date???? Comment by jimdad February 2003
  • Just been over to the Apple boards and it seems that there are quite a few problems with IM3. This is a shame as a lot of us have been waiting for it for a long time. I've had the Ken burns problem twice now but otherwise no real problems. My feelin…

    in Major problems with iMovie 3! Comment by jimdad February 2003
  • For those just about to download IM3 it might be an idea to back up IM2. Reports on the apple boards of some serious problems ( no change there then ) and some wanting to go back to 2. I'd certainly make sure you don't upgrade in the middle of a pro…
