  • Cheap computers may offer programs that enable the same functionality, however they lack the refinment of Apple Apps in terms of interface and ease of use. A Kia and a BMW offer the same function (transportation), however the experience of driving a…
    in Porche/Best Buy go after Titanium sales Comment by jdbon October 2002
  • I think it is very naive of the Mac community to disregard the astonishing rate at which the P4 is scaling. Granted, I realize the mhz is not the only measure of performance, but at this point I simply refuse to believe that a 1.25 G4 can meet or be…

  • Right, the eMac offers two things the lcd iMac does not: price and durability. The lcd iMac at $1349 for education is too high.Also the Lcd screen with the swing arm is just asking to be broken. Eventually the CRT iMac will be dropped when the Emac…
    in eMac why? Comment by jdbon May 2002
  • So, I wonder how long until someone "backups" (cough, cough) the Jaguar preview release cds. I mean, its important that they have a backup, just in case they lose the cd in transit between wwdc and going home. javascript: x()

  • The iSyn beta works pretty well. Aside from bug fixes, I'd like to see a few extra features. I really think they should add support for pocketpc. I know this is a microsoft os and a competitor to Palm (Apple's ally), but Pocket Pc is gaining in popu…

  • An Apple Browser based on gecko would be good for Apple. It provides the speed and standards complicance lacking in IE. Apple could build a beautiful Cocoa interface on top of it and voila! BTW Open up the PkgInfo file in the Chimera package. "A…
    in iBrowse is real Comment by jdbon November 2002
  • I second the Grados, they really are in a class of there own, especially when considering the price. However one thing to consider is an open vs. closed design. The Grados are open, meaning the people around you will be able to hear what you are lis…

  • I believe that is the interface for the AV card which was included on the 7600 and 8500.

  • Only the most recent version can defrag. You have to pay to upgrade.
    in Decent Defragmenter Comment by jdbon November 2002
  • The only other OSX Native program that defrags is Disk 10, however I believe it is also realtively expensive. You can also use disk warrior in OS9 to defrag an X drive. I do not know of any free/shareware, however if you have an extra drive, you can…

  • For web browsing and WP, any powermac will be just fine. The determining factor is bandwith, which with ADSL you have. With the first generation PowerMacs 61/71/8100 series, they have the AAUI ethernet, and all you need is a cheap AAUI to 10bt adapt…
    in Old PowerMacs and Networking Comment by jdbon April 2002
  • I saw it today. I think the negative reviews are the result of "been there done that" syndrome. There are ten films, and five television series, books etc. Nemesis is a string film, but to say that it is completely original would be a lie. It has el…

  • so the guy said that the original aiport under Mac OS 9 will not work with an Aiport extreme base station? I'm not sure if that is accurate.
    in os9 upgrade Comment by jdbon February 2003
  • an iBook 366 (Clamshell) can use an Airport extreme Basestation, however the iBook itself must use an original Airport card. The iBook will operate at the lower speed, but it sill work. In terms of OS version, The original Airport software works in …
    in os9 upgrade Comment by jdbon February 2003
  • Well I'm not sure if this qualifies as a feature, but faster and smooth scrolling would be must appreciated. As I understand it this would require 2d acceleration, which is not possible in Quartz. Page loading is almost equal between Safari and WinI…
    in What Windows Features Do You Want In OS X? Comment by jdbon February 2003
  • Very Interesting! Possibilities: iPod with Internet access "plug in and Play" clustering through firewire. Internet DV cams iPhone with firewire opens up many possibilities I'm excited!
    in TCP/IP over FireWire ! Comment by jdbon December 2002
  • is it connected through ethernet/hub or usb. if it is a usb modem you may want to try and update the driver for X. There is also a utility: IP Tuner (see versiontracker). This is a very in depth optimizer.

  • I had problems installing on my Beige G3. I ended up putting its drive in a firewire enclosure and installing 10.2 from my iBook.
