    VMWare Fusion or Parallels?

    Damn, I use parallels at work and was going to say its OK for me. Maybe I'd better take a look at Fusion! OTH, I don't do anything demanding just a couple of Windows specific programs and a couple of You Must Use IE 6.0 or Above web sites. If I ever replace my G5 at home, I'll look into Fusion...

    anyone who thinks the iPod touch sucks...

    I just wish it had more capacity. I have a classic 160gb that is over half full. With emails and web surfing added on, I figure it would be maxed out too soon!

    Last firewire iPod

    Thanks for all the info. The photo sounds interesting. It would give her more capacity and the ability to have photos of the grandkids and great grandkids. I'll try and checkout the usb sync times too. Of course, perhaps I should just get a new Aluminum iMac 24" at home and let her have my 20"...

    Last firewire iPod

    What is the last iPod that will sync via firewire? I'd like to get one for my mom, but she is using mt old 17" iMac G4 that only has usb 1.0. So to sync at a decent speed, she will need a firewire pod. Any suggestion?. Orc

    More imac G3 questions :)

    I checked on MacTracker, and all the 400Mhz iMacs I can find list regular 3.3volt sdram pc-100 dimms. Maximum is listed as 1gb or two 512mb dimms. Orc

    pci video card for blue and white G3

    Ok, first, Panther and earlier came on install CD's. Second, if I remember right, wasn't the whole point of this to make a DVD playing machine? So, if you want to play dvd's aren't you eventually going to need a dvd drive anyway? Orc

    External case for sata drive?

    After all this help, I've decided to just give the drive to my son to use in his PC. I'll just go ahead and get a new external drive. Thanks to all of you for your assistance. Orc

    External case for sata drive?

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll look for your review. I'd definitely go with esata if it wasn't for an iMac, I am still looking into it for a dual G5 at work. I'm going to keep looking for firewire for a bit, but will go with Usb if I can't find a reasonable one. Orc

    External case for sata drive?

    I just replaced the 160Gb Apple drive in my iMac G5 with a Maxtor 300gb drive. I'd like to find a reasonably priced enclosure that will let me use the old drive as a backup or project drive using either usb2 or firewire 400. All the cases I find are either over $100, or they are designed as raid...

    Strange Imac 20" question

    OK, my iMac G5, 1.8Gb. LCD is 17" wide, 11" high, and of course, 20" diagonally. All measurements are aprox. but I believe them to be within .125". Hope this helps. Orc

    New egg troubles!!

    Sounds familiar. I ordered a 2gb flash drive from them. They shipped me a 256Mb flash drive. When I called, they couldn't ship me a new drive until they received the old one back, and it might take a weel or so to process the return. All this after I had paid extra for 2 day shipping to me. I...

    memory upgrade for old imac

    He did say the old "dome one" which makes me wonder if its a flat pannel. His dates are too old for a flat pannel though, it came out in 02. I like to use mactracker to check on ram and other configuration issues. You can download it free at <http://www.mactracker.ca> No connection, just a happy...

    Your thoughts on the MacWorld rumors?

    I have to agree, I think that they will go after the lower end first, simply because the new switchers and low end users will tend to need less of the high end software that may take a while longer to convert. I just wish that they would broadcast the keynote, I hate getting everything later. Orc

    Which iPOD?

    It doesn't bother me. I mostly use mine for while I'm on my recumbent, or for audio books. For the bike, I just have a couple of favorite playlists, and for books, I usually only have one or two loaded at a time any way. Works for me. Of course, ymmv. Orc
