canon has a beta driver that works ok for me. Has crashed a couple of times. iPhoto doesnt care about scanners tho

IANAEE. My knowledgable postition is based totaly on here say, but giving the concept a couple of minutes thought gave me the results about mean pins passed by a single trace. Certainly real boards are more complex, but the basic idea still ho…

The daughter card was not _clearly_ visible, and at first I thought the diagonal chip was the controller. However, if you look at the components around the cpu, you will see that they match those around the chip on the board, then you will be able …

Mounting chips diagonaly to some reference is supposed to make it easier to route traces. A bit of simple examination reveals the following: Consider a chip with an array of 5x5 pins under it ( not many i know ). All the pins are to be routed…

Switching... I really want to buy a Mac, but... I have no choice but to get a PowerMac. If the iMac had a higher res screen ( 1280x960 ) or, preferably, supported dual head with its vga out, then it would be an easy choice to get one. Lackin…

eMan: Teenagers think they know everything, and you know what, they dont. And you know how I know? I was a teenager once. If you are as good as you think you are, then you will go to college, and you'll get a good job, not slumming in …

You're all attacking the wrong thing. It IS Apple's problem. It IS ok that the password system only uses 8 characters. It IS NOT ok that Apple let the user enter more than 8 characters in the password fields. It is not a big bug. But it is o…

I dont see the value in vuescan ( yes it works great ), because it costs half of what my scanner cost ( cannon 670 ). I downloaded the OSX beta drivers from canon, which work pretty well ( they have crashed a couple if times ). The big issue i…

My wifes iBook was bit of a pig with 128, particularly scanning anything. Running more than one app made changing appps pretty tiresome. Its much happier with 384 now. She doesnt run a lot of apps at the same time, something like fire, mail, app…

Im moving to the states next year. Having a useful sherlock is one of the few highlights

The appeal of single window operation on windows is because lots of windows apps are MDI - that is, they have a master window which contains lots of little windows with your stuff in them. It is a complete PITA, and the solution to it was to maximis…

Just upgraded iBook 600... It stuffed up the auto login, I had to log in manually. All of the little locks got locked as well, they werent before. Now whenever I do anything to do with authentication it takes ages. For example, unlocking the l…

I havent seen any benchmarks for the cuda V yet. The cuda IV can do something like 40+ MB/s sustained, which is plenty fast enough for me. I dont like IBM drives because they come with the "Dont run 24/7" proviso

The ATA100 cuda V is out, the serial ATA is due soon. Ive got an 80gb IV and like it, Ive had good experiences with Seagate drives, Ive got 4 at the moment, from an ancient 135mb up, and they all run well. The cuda IV's are not the fastest drive…

Heres a guess: One cpu overheated for some reason. When you rebooted it still wasnt functioning properly ( too hot ), and was disabled. When you rebooted again it had had time to cool down, and was fine. As to why it overheated, who knows, t…

Well, I remember when digital was coming out, it was supposed to make screens cheaper, because they would no longer require expensive A->D converters. Never happened, what a crock the market is. Apple's screens should be heaps cheap, they…

I just put it on my iBook 600, running win98, and OS X 10.1.5 It is slow. You wouldnt want to use it for anything intensive. Ive got it because my doesnt support OSX very well. If you have some small requirement like that, then I can only re…

Heres my note to Apple: Im a switcher, waiting to switch I really want to buy a PowerMac. The 17" iMac is lovely, but is crippled without real dual monitor support. The problem I have, is that as an Australian, PowerMacs are very expensive…
-
They arent donig it to cut costs ( although some o f their past brain farts may have been to ), but rather to distinguish the products. It would cost them nothing to enable dual monitor out on the iBook, or the iMac. The cost would be negligib…

Oh, they're toooooo poor too afford a macintosh, let them buy a PeeeeeeCeeeeee. Elitist f*k. I personally think that Macs should be for everyone. Apple's prices are high because their sales numbers are too low to amortize the expense of R&…
