Re: Andy's Un-Official Unsolicited Mac Advice Thread
I have a 19" Lacie and those two will use all the space I currently have. I would have gotten at least 5gb, so what is 3 more? :D I can dedicated 4gb to PS and still have plenty to run a lot of other programs at the same time. I just want to go through this once for the next couple years. My next computer will probably be… -

Yes, if you're running Aperture or Motion or playing games. I would expect with Snow Leopard, you may see differences in other programs due to OpenCL. The differences in speed are fairly clearly laid out on the "performance" pages on Apples MacBook Pro site. It's somewhat faster; it depends on the circumstance. IMO, the… -
Re: Andy's Un-Official Unsolicited Mac Advice Thread
Okay, so 3 little notes that are about as close to you'll get to the absolute truth on the subject: 1) Leopard is quite stable. I'd say it's at *least* as stable as 10.4.10, probably a fair bit more. It's been through the wringer for quite a while. And there are some really snazzy tools like Dtrace (and the GUI for it,… -

Correct, it has everything to do with what their printers are capable of. I'm not sure I follow what you're trying to ask. The purpose of the profile is to say "these are the limits of this device." To put it in the most simplistic terms Think of your monitor as a single light bulb. The calibration process turns the bulb… -

Used to be that IE was all you got on the Mac. For some reason when they introduced Safari, they just left it there. Not sure why. Could be compatibility with the occasional banking site, or what-not. Personally, I don't see why you should look any farther than Safari. It's a great browswer, IMHO. I installed Firefox to… -

There are few buttons on the Magic Mouse, so it can be frustrating due to the lack of what you can do. There is only one gesture right now to do anything besides scroll. I'm hoping OS X supports more gestures going forward. It's no track pad, but I know the laptop track pad got more gestures over time. In the meantime,… -

I was going to tell you about that....but figured you would like it more discovering it on your own. ;) yeah...that's the ticket. :D Address book has some cool features. Here are 3. Right click (or Control + Click on mouse) on the phone number of someone in your Address Book and choose Large Type and you get this: (note, I… -

Apple repairs are expensive, as in replace rather than repair for anything going wrong. Normally I'm not an extended warranty type of guy... but I've bought the AppleCare for every Mac I've bought (all 7 of them). I think they price it reasonably, and the service you get is terrific. The 3 repairs I've had done over the… -

Mystery of the ringing bell This is driving me totally nuts and has been happening apparently randomly for a couple of weeks - the sound of a bell (like an old fashioned door or bicycle bell) comes from my Mac. Sometimes it rings just once, other times 3 or 4. It happened on 10.4 etc and still does in Leopard. I have noted…
