  • About the only time I ever have pop is when I can find a good Henry Weinhard's Root Beer. That's not very often (right now I know of two places that sell it, a gas station and a middle eastern deli). Yum Actually, that middle eastern del…

  • I found some more information in an old thread here: http://forums.appleinsider.com/showt...threadid=23894 You can see I was also participating quite a bit . Basically, these are the advantages: 1. Aluminum conducts heat instead of insulati…
  • No, you can connect whichever display you want to either connector. You can choose which monitor you want to be the primary one in the display settings, assuming you have more than one. Both PowerMacs come with an ADC port and a DVI port. They MA…
  • Quote: Yes, but the G5 has twice as much L2 cache, which is what's really important. L3 cache was only in the G4 for bragging rights. It has been proven to make little or no difference. One of the reasons Apple has since removed it from all G4 l…
  • Perhaps a single 1.8 GHz G5 would be a good deal. They are pretty inexpensive refurbished ($1599, with the Superdrive from Apple). And they have the features of the higher-end G5s - 8 RAM slots, 512 MB standard RAM, 160 GB standard hard drive, and P…
  • Take the RAM back to Fry's. Get new RAM. Cheap RAM is more likely to work poorly like this, but it's perfectly capable of working fine. Take it back, get a replacement, and you'll most likely be up and running again with no crashes. If it keeps cras…
  • Actually, the G4 should be faster than the G5 in this case. What sets it apart is the dual processors. Even with a bus of only 167 MHz (vs. 800 MHz) and a clock speed of only 1.25 GHz (vs. 1.6 GHz), the G4 should still be faster than the G5. Having …

  • These are about your only options for TV-input: http://eshop.macsales.com/Catalog_Pa...edia&Template= The PCI cards should have very little to no lag. External connections, though, do have some lag, so take that into account. Also, there a…
  • It has adaptive junk filtering (like Mail). It probably will send attachments that my mom's clients can open, unlike Mail (blame her clients, they're probably using Win95). I'm going to get her to try it out.

  • For once I agree with Scott. Quit being shallow and go see a game later, once you're out of school.
  • Weird. This morning, just a few minutes after I posted a reply to this thread, it started working. Got the free Counting Crows song just fine, and removed the other two "free" songs that I had tried to get a couple days ago and now cost $0.99. Lo…

  • Quote: Originally posted by ipodandimac I do find everything to be faster late at night rather during the day. Key word "faster." Anything is faster than totally stopped. Sure, I'd like it to be fast, but I don't even care if it's slow just s…
  • Avril Lavigne, Tina Fey, Christina Aguilera. EDIT: Ooh ooh! I thought of a good one just now (I am not sure if we are presenting our own ones or if we are presenting quandaries for others). So here is the quandary: Oprah Winfrey, Queen Latifah…
  • There must be something subtle about Apple's beige case designs, because I just love some of them and I hate others. I am neutral towards many of them though. First of all, I love the cases for the IIci, IIsi, LC, and Quadra 630. They're all pret…
  • Hmm, what have I seen... There was a Barred Owl that sat on the same branch in back of my house once or twice a week for about a year. We have a big window in the back that looks out to the forest, and there is a bird feeder attached to our deck.…
  • You'll need to explain how you're having difficulty. Is the text too small? Does it look fuzzy, or perhaps too blocky and jagged? Or is it an issue with readability, where the font may look okay and be the right size, but is arranged so it's difficu…
  • Thanks guys, rebuilding the database did it. Now I have to find out how to try to block all this spam she gets... my mom's email address is fairly old and it has now been totally swamped with spam. And I mean SWAMPED. She gets over 500 junk mails…
