  • If the Mac version of Office is making money, what would be the point? It would cost them profits and it wouldn't immeidiately improve their business. The current copies of office could be passed on for at least a couple years a la Word Perfect, bef…
    in hypothetical: what if annoyed microsoft stops IE & office development? ideas?? Comment by norfa January 2002
  • Some things are still a little rough. It can't open my iDisk and my whole machine is frozen for as long as it is trying. I thought OSX was supposed to get away from stuff like that. I am so sick of that spining colour wheel. Any way, my 500 iBook, i…
    in Is OSX fast enough for you? Comment by norfa January 2002
  • Y a gotta reboot into 9 for Diablo II. It looks awfull run in emulation and works even worse.
    in OS X on iBook....OK? Comment by norfa January 2002
  • IN my opinion, if they try to make money selling OSX they are going to have a problem. I'm using it, but I don't like it enough to pay for it. Hell I paid $20 for 9 and that was the only one I ever paid for. CD burners are a wonderful thing. [ 01…
    in OSX default startup on new iMacs a major problem. Comment by norfa January 2002
  • Well i didn't really like OSX either and I'm still not sure about it, but I'm using it on my iBook 500 with 192 mg of ram. I liked iPhoto, and it only runs on X so what is a guy to do. I loaded X, I loaded all my images, and I bought a book, the one…
    in Register.com claims that 90% of Mac users hate Aqua/OS X Comment by norfa January 2002
  • My mother calls me twice a week with problems she's having with OS9, so if she switches to OSX how many times is she gonna be calling me? More, or less? That to me is the bottom line. Cause if it's more, she's going back to OS9. I don't care about t…
    in Who thinks OS X is way to complicated! Comment by norfa December 2001
  • I used Drive 10 to retrieve a drive that the apple software couldn't see. I moved from Norton years ago. I don't find Drive10 limited at all. I'm looking for some data on that one. What exactly does Norton have that Drive 10 doesn't? [ 09-21-2002…
    in Which disk utility for OS X 10.2? Comment by norfa September 2002
  • Thanks . I'll check that, but I don't think QT6 is on those machines. I never put betas on school equipment, and the since I put QUicktime 6 on a partition on this machine , it hasn't booted from that partition. Iv'e tried, it just crashes somewher…
    in iMovie in OSX crashes Comment by norfa June 2002
  • Sounds like what happened to me Franck, once the files become corrupted, iMovie crashes as soon as it loads. I've started backing up my files on the second drive I installed. I may lose work, but i don't lose everything. I save a working copy and st…

  • I use CUseeme in in OS9 it, doesn't run natively but it does run. the last version they put out for mac was 3.14, they are up to version 5 on PC's. The quality from a DV camera is so much better than a web, but a web cam is defintiely more convenien…
    in Webcam Chat Software for X Comment by norfa September 2002
  • CUseeme doesn't work in Classic, you have to reboot. Gpsy and Gypsy pro is a company with one programmer. They are still not planning to write for OSX. Those two programs get major use around my house. My desktop at home runs OS9 and I have no plans…
    in os 9 R.I.P... Comment by norfa May 2002
  • Gee, I'm trying to get the same question answered. Looks like it's a no so far.
    in Author software for external DVD writters & capacity Comment by norfa November 2002
  • Hey, I trid this under OS9 on my DVSE which is nominally slower than my iBook and it took about 10 hours, one quarter the length of my iBook project. Now the bad, news, the sound cuts out, like totally cuts out when I use it on my DVD player up stai…
    in Making a Vcd of my DV videos, does it have to suck? Comment by norfa April 2002
  • Hey it's done. I don't think I would have had the patience except for the part where i have 2 computers and I can afford to let one sit. But I did the whole disk in one file, 55 minutes in 521 mg and just under 2 days to encode. (I gotta get a G4 iM…
    in Making a Vcd of my DV videos, does it have to suck? Comment by norfa March 2002
  • Don't even try playing in classic, it's a waste of time. Boot in OS9 or don't play. The game doesn't even work properly in classic. You can't see how much health you have, no progress bars, etc. It is an awesome game in OS9. Isn't that patch suppose…

  • Hey, gelding, that worked real good, thanks.
    in Adjusting audio gain in iMovie in OSX? Comment by norfa April 2002
  • I have a 12 inch, I have access to a 14". I'm sticking with my 12", because for me, the smaller size is more convenient than the larger size, even with my bi-focals. My laptop gets used in my car for GPSy. When I go home and plug the computer into m…
    in Why does everyone dis the 14" iBook? Comment by norfa September 2002
  • Apple doesn't recommend writing DVD's from anyting less than a 550mhz G4.
    in Internal CD-RW Available for old iMacs, Any chance of a combo drive? Comment by norfa June 2002
  • I've used the sony DAT and a sony camera to convert video. Wiht the DAT you can convert VHS to DV easier, however with a camera you have more control. I had to buy the DAT because we had VHS cameras where I work, but for home use, I get along just f…
    in DV camcorder analog->DV conversions versus DV converter ??? Comment by norfa December 2001
  • I beg to differ. The reason I still have my iBook is the size. I use my iBook in a lot of different location, and with Gpsy, I use it for navigation in my car. If I move up it will be to the 12" powerbook. The small size is the reason most of the pe…
