Make sure you get a stero splitter rather than mono.

I couldn't vote as I'm using 10.4.8 on my MacPro because it came with 10.4, and 10.3.9 on my TiBook 867. There's nothing compeling in 10.4 that made me want to upgrade the TiBook. I am planing to buy 10.5, probably when it reaches 10.5.3, and run th…

In my continued quest to try and bring some realism into this thread here are some thoughts. The PS3 detractors seem to want it both ways. They claim that people who buy the PS3 do it for a game machine, yet in the next breath claim there are no …

From my understanding reading on AVSForum, HDMI is required to get the full bandwidth of the advanced sound from the HD formats, so it's not just a one cable thing with HDMI, as compared with optical. But of course the questions arises can one hear …

There's another factor here besides the format war that's holding me back from making a commitment. And that's sound. In order to get the maximum quality you need a receiver that accepts HDMI input. I have an excellent 3 year-old receiver that works…

I think I have the years right. Mac SE 1987 (still have, still works) Mac IIcx 1990 Mac IIfx 1992 Mac Duo 280 1994 (still have, doesn't work) Mac 7300/200 1996 Tangerine iBook 1998 G4 Dual 450 2000 Titanium Powerbook 867 2002 (still using)…

Cosmo, try ZipZoomFly.com or NewEgg.com for a replacement hard drive. The hard drive is user replaceable, I'm pretty sure there's instructions on how to do it in the Powerbook manual, plus Google the web and you'll find instructions that include ste…

And the winner is-- conventional DVDs on an upscaling DVD player. Seriously, the format war is doing a serious disservice to the eventual market adoption of an HD format. For people who need to be careful with their money and faced with competing…

Here's a link to an older poll in Future Hardware that provides more choices. http://forums.appleinsider.com/showt...80#post1042380

I'm kicking this back to the top to see if any of the regulars have bought one of the formats lately. I'm still remaining format neutral until things sort themselves out.

Going back to the title of this thread, what has happened to the PS3? In five trips to area BBs and CCs over a period of four weeks, I've only managed to find one PS3 on the shelves. It appears, at least in my locality, that Sony is still unable to …

Carniphage, a question. You come across so anti-Sony. What happened, did they turn down one of your games?

Going back to the original question, I think you'd be happy with either Canon or Nikon. Both make good DSLRs and more importantly both have a very complete selection of lenses and accessories. I chose a Canon Rebel XT when I bought a DSLR in 2005 af…

Quote: BTW, if the BD movie sales numbers are a real trend instead of a spike, I wonder what this means for Sony. Too many PS3 being sold as BD player can't be all that good. It's interesting reading the B-R board on AVSforum. Several non-gamer…

Try either Command T or Command Option T and see if one of those two will work for you.

If, knowing how Apple prices things, the price will probably be in the $399 - $499 range. If it would work with both IR and bluetooth the people over on AVSform would lap it up.
