Re: Andy's Un-Official Unsolicited Mac Advice Thread
Yep, and that's where you want it for good quality. Shielding and ground isolation and quality of audio processing in a $200 all in one unit is going to beat the pants off a $400 uber sound card that plugs into a computer (pc or mac). At least that has always been my experience. (and like BradfordBenn, I used to do… -

Get it. Rutt's right, but at the same time, the unit's 2x faster than the PPC iMac. Even if PS takes a 50% speed hit under Rosetta, which I doubt it'll be that much, you're still as well off as you would have been with a PPC. PS can't be too far behind with a Universal version of PS. IMO, it's either that or wait 9 months… -

Resource fork. . Oh, that's right, we _ARE_ talking about Quicken here. You know they actually CAN'T make that thing a universal binary without a complete rewrite, the code is so old? They actually have some parts of Quicken for which THERE IS NO SOURCE CODE anymore... they lost it! So they have the object files and they… -
Re: Andy's Un-Official Unsolicited Mac Advice Thread
Hey Gus, I've been following this thread and am curious about what's causing your problem. Your machine is powerful enough that you shouldn't have hangs unless something is pushing it to its limits. Have you noticed any pattern to what you are doing in CS3 when the problem occurs? Also, do you regularly receive large… -
Re: Andy's Un-Official Unsolicited Mac Advice Thread
There is a little matter of personal self discipline involved as well. I have this brand new 17inch PB, 1.6GHz, 2GB, the whole 9 yards that I got because Apple failed to be able to fix the simplest thing in my old one (keyboard lights) in a timely fashion and I was a pest after they had it for 3 weeks and couldn't say when… -
Re: Andy's Un-Official Unsolicited Mac Advice Thread
Actually, just to set the record straight, right-click support has been in Mac OS since the mid-1990s at least. When Apple bought NeXT to create Mac OS X, NeXT OS already supported right-click. I've been using Macs with two-button mice for as long as I've been able, which might have been Mac OS 8 or 9. Popular Mac… -

That seems to only be folks that ordered from apple. Three of us at work all got the same email this morning, and all have fedex showing a 10:30 local time arrival. (given my location relative to the local fedex air office, I expect to have it around 9:45 am... if not before 7am when the first round of trucks head out with… -

I have and am familiar with OnyX. The other is news to me. Seems fine. Here's what I use: 1) Macaroni: automagically runs in the BG, repairing permissions, running the UNIX crons, and I use it to remove all localized files (you can save a bunch of space that way, you don't need them). It's $9, and it's set and forget.… -
Re: Andy's Un-Official Unsolicited Mac Advice Thread
Did anybody mention Macaroni yet? (the atomic bird kind, not the pasta kind). Why should you have to remember to clean up your Mac every day, every week, and every month? Shouldn't a computer be able to remember for you? Macaroni is a tool which handles regular maintenance for Mac OS X, including the Mac OS X repair…
