  • 400Mb/s = 50MB/s, much faster than any 1.8" hard drive (or even most 3.5" ones). Which is to say, there will likely be zero difference in real-world speed between FW and USB2 iPods.

  • If Tiger is a minor upgrade unworthy of its own point release, then why can Microsoft deliver more or less the same thing (metadata searches, desktop integrated web apps, graphical window management) in another two years and call it a whole new oper…

  • Tonton, long time no see! Actually, been back from Japan for a while now (let's seee... 3.5 years?), I was just there for a school year on exchange. Currently back in the states, going to college here in the godforsaken midwest. You still rocking th…

  • I'm glad someone else has this problem as well. I've had it on both my iMac G4/800 and my new PBG4 1.5/15. Very annoying. The way it works for me is iTunes will skip, user interface will freeze, iTunes music will come back in short bursts every minu…
    in Widespread iTunes Lock-up Problem? Comment by wyntir October 2004
  • I can speak from personal experience that newer PBs will not recognize older OSs. Which is a shame, since I left my software restore CDs for my 15" at home; every time I need to do a clean install (not often, thankfully) with my vanilla 10.3 discs I…
    in New PowerBook/Old Mac OS X? Comment by wyntir October 2004
  • Disaster averted! Open-source Samsung drivers at Linuxprinting.org saved my bacon. Wunderbar! Thanks everyone for your help, anyway
    in Laser Printing Issues (help!) Comment by wyntir October 2003
  • Ahm, that's the printer I have, and it works awfully with Mac OS X. (At least the Samsung drivers do.) But thanks Edit: and it appears that Linuxprinting.org is back online. Whoo! So feel free to let this thread die.

  • Gasp! This just in! A review here (find "mac" a few times) and this Google search indicate that I could have sweet, sweet open-source drivers, letting my printer reach its full potential, if only linuxprinting.org's website were up. It's been around…
    in Printer buying Comment by wyntir October 2003
  • Hmm. No dice. I'll exchange the printer this weekend instead, the box said "mac compatible." Have all the receipts/manuals etc. still. I'll replace it with a nice inkjet, I think. Any suggestions? Or laser manufacturers who don't suck?

  • As chance would have it, I downloaded that exact file today. (The earlier driver I had was the V1.0, this new one is 2.0, but the download links and filenames are nearly the same, and right next to each other. What a confusing website!) I haven't ha…

  • Speed test printing a 195KB, all-text PDF from Preview: 10 seconds from end of "Processing..." dialogue to first page beginning to print. ~6 seconds to print, ~6 second wait, then ~6 seconds to print the second page. This pattern remains pretty stea…

  • Good questions I'm running an iMac Flat Panel with 512MB of RAM. I have tried printing from Preview and Mellel, as well as web pages; as far as I can tell, they all have similar problems. Purely text pages print with the 5-10 second delay betwe…

  • Bump in the vain hope that I might get a response. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
    in Formac Studio TVR - owner impressions/thoughts? Comment by wyntir September 2003
  • I, too, have lusted after a video iPod for quite a while. But I envision it differently that I think most people do. This idea is dismissed off-hand by most people because the iPod has a tiny, black-and-white screen. "Who wants to watch movies on a …

  • Grover, I think you and Mr. al-Sahaf should star in a 1970s sitcom about two mismatched roommates. Comedy gold!
