1) I love my MS BT mouse and the only lag I've ever noticed is when you haven't used the mouse for a few mins. when it takes maybe half a sec. to 'wake', no problem. I'd very much recommend mapping the buttons to Expose/dasboard, you'll never go back to either Windows or a single mouse button.
2) BUy RAM elsewhere and fit it yourself, it's a doddle.
3) I'd say the iCurve would be fine and recommend an external keyboard, wired or BT.

I couldn't justify spending nearly $3grand on a new powermac and NOT dropping an additional $500 for the fastest on the market... if you're going to go that far, why not all the way?

one airport express is enough. just plug it in the wall and plug in the speaker's jack. than set the airport to create a wireless network. the light will flash amber because the AE knows that you haven't plugged in an Ethernet cable so it can't connect to the Internet, but you can just ignore it.

join the just created network with your MBP and/or your iPhone and use AirPlay to stream music to the speakers. you could even use your iOs device to control iTunes on your Mac via Apple's remote app.

Sorry, but chances are thats not going to happen anytime soon. Next refresh probably won't be until late this year or early 2012.

Well, the time has come, I thought I would share some photos of my Mac Portables with you. I have two Portables, a M5120 and an M5126 with the backlit display. Both have rebuilt batteries, and function flawlessly. I have posted 14 photos (1-9 of the M5126) (10-14 of the M5120). Enjoy!!

Like I said, be cautious. Just be careful so you don't dish out a bunch of money and get nothing in return.

TMNT Turtles in Time is a classic theh graphics are a nice touch

This has been my one and only PSN purchase. I bought it for nostalgia value and it's not especially in-depth but if you were a fan of the original it's a good buy.

Just in case anybody is interested...

I made a simple CoreImage test app to try and get to grips with CoreImage. It's not very advanced but it can do a number of effects and is fun to play with.

I need somebody to host it for the moment because I'm away from my webserver so if anybody can do that then it will be available for download.

Requires a CoreImage compatible graphics card that is Quartz2DExtreme capable. Works nice and smoothly on my 17" Powerbook (Most recent gen).

I have three letters for you.... DRM.
The Netflix app is very well protected.
They do this to prevent stream recording/capture.

I have a fairly old flat LCD TV. Is that is what is causing the problem? If I use a new TV would that solve the issue?

Congrats... Job well done.

I have an LC 475 that's clock chipped to 33mhz. It's basically the 575 without the built in monitor. In my experience with the box, the last really stable and useful system to run on it was 7.6. I wouldn't put 8 on it.

Now, having said that, I think the OPTIMAL system to run on a 475/575 is System 7.1.x. It's easily the fastest, most stable and most solid in terms of functional features for that hardware platform IMO. 7.6 is a great system, but I think it needs a little more juice than the 475/575 can offer.

Don't buy the aluminum 24" imac with the 3.06 processor for gaming, the video card won't hold up. Ebay is full of these imacs being sold for bad/ dead video cards and no Apple is not doing nothing about extended repairs.

Can I run two external displays from the 21" iMac? One from mini dp with vga converter and one from thunderbolt to vga or hdmi? It looks like the graphics card only supports one external display by the specs.. so what would be the point of using the thunderbolt over the mini display port right?

I would get a 21.5" iMac to go with my two 22" ips monitors if I knew it could work...

I now use WordPress for my site, after trying to get used to Joomla, CMS Made Simple, Silver Stripe, and a few home brew solutions. WordPress as a CMS is great for very simple stuff, but the more complex you get, the less suitable it becomes. There are plugins that extend its functionality in all kinds of ways, but it begins to feel like a Rube Goldberg machine if you are trying to get to something very specific by throwing two or three plugins together.

Having said that, the site I maintain is fairly simple and needs to be administer-able (is that a word?) by people with limited IT knowledge, so WordPress fits the bill.

Hmm. Could be interesting. There are a lot of crap games on PSN though, so you never know how good your options will be every month. Really, I don't think I have bought 12 PSN games since launch... :rolleyes:

He would get of easily. That rooster had it coming.

He was ruled by his cock.

All cock, and no balls.

cool! can't wait to see what this thing looks like :)

There is probably an easy way to do this but I can't seem to figure it out. I have Toast 6 installed on my non admin user. Do I have to re-install it on my admin user to use it there or can I somehow access it? I have music on my admin that I want to burn using Toast but didn't want to install again if I don't have to. Thanks!

go to the input option and see if anything comes up when you plug it in.

and for the itunes problem, you may want to type 'top' (no quotes) into a terminal and see what's eating up your processor.

In the input, there's a "Line In" option. Thats all. And for the terminal, the only thing running with the highest %of usage was the 'TOP'. At 6%CPU. Everyhthing else was 0.something. :confused: :confused:

I don't get it. I see a box with two sets of letters, FS on top and FF on the bottom. Why do I see that instead of the symbol? On some posts and signatures I see the apple symbol, but for example, BC2009's post is 4 of those boxes and a smiley. Weird :confused:

Just noticed a weird issue that is slightly bugging me. I have my desktop wallpaper to cycle every 15 minutes. It works fine when not connected to an external display, but when I hook up my external monitor and set it as the primary, it doesn't cycle anymore. Whats even more odd is the MBP screen (secondary desktop) still cycles.

Any clue why?

It wouldn't be so bad if their core content was good once you got through the garbage. But their rumors have always been iffy, and as edesignuk says, the gallery has always been slower than watching the grass grow. Maybe they'll take all this ad revenue and buy a newer server. I've got a PM 9500 I'm not using - I'll bet its 200MHz 604e would be a huge upgrade over their current Quadra 650. (Oh wait, maybe they're still using that IIcx they got at the yard sale last year)

You are correct. I will address the error in set up of the dual Xeon box and see how that changes performance. Thanks for the tips.

Totally depends on what software you want to run and expected number of users. Also does it have to be OSX?

Mac Pro isn't an ideal full time server since you are spending money on video card, Bluetooth, I/O ports,airport, etc.
