  • Quote: Originally posted by HOM I used the Keyspan extensively over the course of 4 or 5 months. Aprox. 20 presentations a week. I loved it. It worked great with both PP and Keynote, the clicking was responsive, and once I got accustomed to the m…
  • Quote: Originally posted by torifile If you've got a bluetooth enabled powerbook and a bt enabled phone, you should check out Salling Clicker. It's not a "remote" per se, but it does the job very well and doesn't require line of sight. Unfort…
  • Quote: Originally posted by pace Mine arrived a few days ago, and I have noticed the trackpad behaving odd. That is, the mouse pointer intermittently jumps around. My hunch is a software rather than hardware problem, but what do I know. If tha…

  • I got 13 secs on a stock single 1.8 G5 running the binary provided by SilentEchoes. Would someone more in the know than I know the degree to which this could be improved by targeting the G5 specifically or by using AltiVec?
