  • I'm already running Mozilla on my work PC. What's the big diff between Moz and Firebird? The Mac version of Firebird isn't finished yet. I run Camino at home. My browsers of choice for Mac: 1)Camino 2)Safari 3)IE 4)OmniWeb I'm betting…

  • LBB, how can you argue that a decent-performing PowerPC CPU would be an impetus to migrate to x86? x86 should (and is) a last-ditch effort if the PowerPC can't keep up at all. Also, how can you argue that an Apple is any LESS proprietary than a …

  • I'm running a PCI graphics based G4, Radeon 7000. OS X can get pretty slow when burning a DVD, or opening a folder with a ton of files in it. Navigating the OS is also a bit slower than OS 9. But working within programs doesn't seem significant…

  • Danny Elfman hasn't written a new soundtrack since the original Batman. John Williams writes the same score over and over again too, but he's so talented, that it's totally forgiveable (much like the Ramones).

  • To clarify: Sex is a biological term. Gender is a technical term. This definition of sex is only appropriate in circumstances that deal directly with biology (hence, "secondary sex characteristics"). The word gender, when it's applied to hu…

  • Macintosh, Powermac, and Powerbook have name recognition that other companies dream of. Quick, what does Dell call its laptops? What about their entry-level workstations? Getting rid of the "Mac" moniker because PC users hate it is stupid. The…

  • I traded CD-ROMs with one of my friends and got an old 4x external that seems to work better. Thanks for your suggestions.

  • Appending the file extension should almost certainly work. If not, try saving the file as a Word 95 document.

  • I recommend the Initio MilesU2W. It's old (4 years) but it works perfectly in OS X and OS 9. Fast as hell (relatively speaking). Initio was the first company to have firmware that worked in OS X (even before adaptec). They were also the first…

  • VGA will allow you to connect to many, many more displays than DVI right out of the box. Flat panels with analog VGA connectors aren't hard to find. Congrads on a 12 inch powerbook purchase. I'm averse to laptops, but if I got one, that would d…

  • Madmax is right, there's some serious bugs in the Apple implementation of Samba. The only Kernel Panics that I've experienced in OS X have been while using SMB (besides a few that were due to flaky SCSI firmware).

  • MS Office is a good for what it does. It's hard to argue with free, but if you're gonna be doing a lot of work between PC/Mac I highly suggest buying MS Office.
