• I'm assuming you need an administrator password, if this is the case it would be the password you entered to set up the system when you first set up the main user on the machine. If you have forgotten it you can reset your password by booting off CD…

• One thing you could do is check the filesystem using the fsck -y command in single user mode. You get to this by holding down command and s on reboot, a whole lot of text will pop up, type fsck -y and it will go through and check/fix problems with t…

• If alingi actually had an all swiss team they would not have won the cup, the fact is a billionaire bought himself a cup, simple as that. I do believe, however that we (New Zealanders) are the best sailors in the world. Not the swiss. Money talks th…

• If your comparing each operating system to each other then Mac OS X is vastly superior in the security stakes compared to the likes of say......windows. Like you I have never heard of a Mac OS X machine being hacked into.

• Safari has some cool features but for me it does not even come close to camino in the speed department, camino seems at least twice as fast on my machine. Rock on Camino!!!!!

• Definately the Radeon 9700, it by far outperforms the Nvidia card and it is quieter too. Just my 2 cents

• I totally agree, cheap RAM is most likely your problem, I have done many an install with pc133 RAM into iMacs like yours. Right now I am running a 600MHZ iMac with two 256 PC133 SDRAM chips.

• totally agree although a 1.42 GHZ imac would be nice I really think it is a dream and that a 1.25 GHZ machine is more likely. I don't see any drastic changes really, I would love to see the radeon 9000 and an increase in the cache. The bus speed …
