    in Pluging Amp Into Mac Comment by francisg3 January 2004
  • On my iMac, I have a set of Monsoon MM-1000 speakers and a subwoofer, which, sadly enough, sounds better than my main stereo. If you have 2 speakers, a subwoofer, and $150, you can get a system for your computer that blows away 99% of stereo systems.

  • I second Murbot on that one. Imac are extremely comfortable to work on, with their adjustable display, plus keyboard and mouse. I just spent a week in Florida, and my parents have a Alubook 15", and typing on it, and using the trackpad just drove me…

  • Just create a new user, and switch between them. That way, you can have your own desktop pattern, settings, icons, preferences, etc. In OS 9, it was always a battle, for my father had a PowerBook, and every time I would visit him in Florida, I'd…

  • Hmm. I know if you click on the Finder icon in the dock, it will open a new window if one isn't open already. That might not be your answer, but it's a start.

  • Herbivore - come back! I enjoyed your comments - good to have people like you around. But if you're going to pack your bags every time Brad, or anyone else disagrees with you, you might not be here long the next time. P.S. you were kidd…
    in Longhorn not until 2008? Comment by francisg3 December 2003
  • Here's a few more things to try. If they don't work, it's time to take it in. 1. Have you tried jamming it in even further? Maybe to get it to register? 2. Try restarting the computer, hold down the Option key, and use the startup manager to o…

  • This is just bad news. Deus Ex was, and still the most intense video game of all time. So far, no one's mentioned my favorite aspect of Deus Ex - the stealth action! I loved sneaking around, and lurking in the shadows, waiting for a guard to wal…

    in Now up-to-date and contact on OS X? Comment by francisg3 December 2003
  • All right, here's the deal. Now Contact and Up-To-Date are two of the junkiest pieces of software ever made. If you want a calendar and to-do list app, Apple's Calendar, and Address Books walks all over it. We had 5 copies of it for our sales fo…

  • I've got the HP 1300n, and it works very well. It's not for high-usage, but hey, that's why it's so cheap.
    in Best affordable network laser printer? Comment by francisg3 December 2003
  • Install Tinkertool. Put on the setting "See invisible files." Then, look at the OS 9 install CD. You will see an "images" folder. There, is the OS 9 image. Drag that to your hard drive, and voila! You're in business.

  • Well, I know it's a RealPlayer video file. Perhaps the reason you can't move it to the trash because RealPlayer is probably running the file, and won't let go of it. Try logging out, and in again, and try deleting it.

  • My 17" PowerBook is so large, the screen sits at the rear of my desk. I find myself staring down at it, which gets irritating. My 15" iMac, on the other hand, lets me position the screen near the front of my desk, at eye level (not to mention th…

  • If you know iMovie well, and it's working for you, then stick with it. No need to learn a complex new program if you don't even need it. Especially with your comment about your peers still using iMovie while they know FCP. When you feel limited b…

  • Whew! I can feel the heat. ss Are you trying to tell me someone over the internet is going to hack into my computer unless I have a password on my OS X account? Maybe I need an education here. In OS 9, there was no such thing as a password. An…
