  • A bit more about the Quanta stuff... I was reading Ars Technica this afternoon, and saw this: Quote: Compal is also said to have landed orders for a 15.4-inch PowerBook, a replacement version of the 15.2-inch PowerBook made by Quanta Computer. …

  • Quote: Originally posted by Blackcat Exactly. People seem be stuck in the belief that it won't happen in '03, but the 7457 is ready now in quantity. It drives me nuts! No, the 7457 [130nm G4 with 512k L2 cache] is *not* available at all. …

  • I am entirely talking out of my arse on this [as I don't have Jag yet] But I've come across this problem [Icons] before in 10.0 and 10.1x. Nothing seems to happen when you cut/paste a new icon... the solution, simply enough, is to Log out, then back…
