  • I have a MacAlly IceMouseJR - it's very good for the price, no problems, and doesn't require a driver - MacAlly do supply a driver in case you want to change the setup - left handed mode and such. Andrew

  • Thanks for the advice, I had been wondering about that. How safe is it to experiment with killing processes? I presume that it will all be reset if I restart, and the worst thing that can happen is I get unexpectedly logged out. Andrew

  • I think Cocktail can start up in single user mode with GUI. Andrew

  • Apple's home page is full of links to donation pages. Does anyone know of a way I can donate to any of these organisations using PayPal or any other services which don't require a credit or debit card. Andrew

  • Thank you for your advice everyone. I've tried this before and wasn't quite sure if I understood it correctly. I've got it to work properly now. I think part of the problem before was that "Ignore Ownership" was selected for the Hard Drive. I should…

  • I am having this same problem, although I don't think my iBook has been physically damaged in any way. The lid will not lock shut unless I use something to push the latch button back out with first, it seems that the spring is jammed or broken. Is t…

  • Thanks for the advice. I've bought a Saitek ST50 for £9.95. It's about the most basic joystick I've ever seen but it works perfectly as a budget MIDI controller. Andrew

  • Thank you, I had not yet seen the most basic models of these joysticks, provided they are fully OS X compatible one of the two lowest models would be ideal. Andrew

  • Thank you for your advice on this. I will buy and AirPort Extreme card for the iBook soon, and see if there is somewhere I can test out the range without a base-station. If it's acceptable then I'll buy an AirPort card for the G4, but if it's too sh…

  • Many thanks for your advice everyone, I've downloaded and run the patch and extended desktop is working fine. I wonder why Apple bother to disable this feature if they're going to make the software open source and pretty much encourage us to hack…
    in iBook extended desktop hack (just checking) Comment by squidthing February 2004
  • Thank you, this is looking positive. Can anyone else give feedback from this? I'm sure it will be fine, I just don't want to do anything that could be risky without a lot of advice. Andrew

  • I should think Hip-Hop is here to stay, there's a whole culture attached to it and there are a lot of genuine and serious artists involved in it. However it also happens that Hip-Pop is the current fashion-music, all the commercial popsters are …

  • Thank you, your advice has been very helpful. Now I'm looking at two options, either buy an extra harddrive, internal or external and a DVD-RW drive for backup, or buy a DVD-RAM drive. Do you have any suggestions for Apple compatible drives that …

  • That is the software I've already tried, and there seems to be no way of transferring a model from Cinema 4D to this software without it falling apart. And even if I did, I can't afford to buy this software only to use it once. Andrew

  • Thanks but unfortunately not.. I tried the extra mouse idea, and still can't find any way of stopping it from moving the cursor, I also tried "USB Overdrive" but it seems to treat both mice as one. I'm sure there must be some way of doing this th…

  • Okay, maybe someone should start a poll on this.. "Does the English accent really sound so evil?" According to most Hollywood films it does. Of course there's one that just takes it too far, Star Wars. In the prequels when Anikin Skywalker is yo…
