  • If you're just printing snapshots, then I guess you should stick with the cheapest lab prints you can find. If you are a photographer, there is no way that a machine print can look as good as an Epson (or other photo-quality brand) print on good pa…
    in Cheapest way to get prints of photos? Comment by nshirkey February 2003
  • Buy a good photo printer. Epson has a good one (6-color inks, borderless prints) for $99. With the new inks and papers the prints will last for over 30 years. Even with the cost of paper and ink your snaps will cost far less than 49 cents a piece…

    in Should I wait for a 970 or buy an eMac now? Comment by nshirkey February 2003
  • The first 970 Macs will definitely have premium pricing. How can you ignore history? Remember G3, G4. Were they cheap? Apple's marketing people are confident that they can price the first 970's high. Even I could write Jeff Goldblum's TV sp…

  • Okay, I located all of my jpg's and burned them to CD the "old fashioned" way. I then deleted all of the images from the updated iPhoto library. Is there any hope that as I import new image files into iPhoto2 I will actually be able to use iPhot…

  • I just tried the CD burn function in iPhoto. All of the images seem to appear on the CD after burning, but there is no actual image that opens up in Photoshop (or Preview). What's up?

    in Mac OS X for pro users or not? Comment by nshirkey November 2002
  • After reading many of these posts I decided to wait on 10.2.2. Last week I used Software Update to update my Superdrive. Unfortunately, I had consumed a couple of refreshing beverages and accidentally downloaded 10.2.2. I threw caution to the w…
    in Any Problems with 10.2.2 Comment by nshirkey November 2002
  • Thank you all for your help. Not being a technical type keeps me from knowing if I need some of the tips supplied. I will simply upgrade to OS X 2.1 and turn on the firewall. What's interesting is that I have posted this question in other forum…

  • My friend teaches. If she gets OS X free, or buys it at the educational discount, and gives it to me will I be using it legally?

    in New PowerMac G4's boot only newest systems Comment by nshirkey March 2003
  • I have the original 22' Cinema Display at home and at work. They are incredible. If you can get the 22" cheaper, I don't think you could see much of a difference. Also, the 22" displays stayed so expensive for so long due to Apple's zero defe…

  • My employer offers up to a $2,000 interest-free loan for home computer/peripheral purchases. The loan period is for one-year, and you can elect to have the payments auto-deducted from your pay checks. You can start a new loan as soon as the previo…

    in Is it worth the extra $300? Comment by nshirkey February 2003
  • Years ago, I was receiving cookware in the mail from a company I had never heard of. I tried calling them, but they had no record of the items being sent. I asked a lawyer if I was being scammed, and might eventually be presented with a large bill…

  • Indeed, it is nothing like the weight of a CRT that size. I blew out my back trying to put my old Apple studio display in its new owner's car. I just meant that the Cinema Display is heavier than it looks, and it would take a really big ugly swive…

  • I've had a Cinema Display for over a year, and I have never had a need for a swivel base. The precision backlighting on these screens make the display VERY heavy. I would hate to give up the elegant slim footprint in favor of a heavy swivel ba…
