Re: Audio disc backups
Roxio's Toast does it for me. cheers, gianfranco I just got a new audio CD ( the new Cook, Dixon Young Volume 1 disc :) ), and like I do with all my music, I want to make a backup of it. (I'd rather destroy the backup in my car and elsewhere than the expensive original!) What software do you all use for a full-disc copy? I'd prefer one that would reproduce the tracks as is--some have pauses between the tracks, some don't. I tried discBlaze, but it doesn't have a full-disc copy function, and wants a default between the tracks. Like I said, I really don't want anything fancy, just something to let me do full-disk copies. Any suggestions? (I've got a PB G4 aluminum with Tiger) Thanks!

The 'book is in Walla Walla. The PB has been failing to boot, some sort of reinstall was just done, hopefully archive and reinstall but I'm not sure what options were really chosen. Anyway Safari won't now open a new windows, etc, although it can get online and ssh works, etc. I don't know what the heck was done to it, really. I've been trying to troubleshoot over the phone and it's not going well; Thanks for any assistance; it should be trivial to fix if you were actually hands-on.

Re: $50 iBooks @ UVA
I think flogging off surplus equipment like this is a terrific idea. If they had auctioned off the lot in bulk, they wouldn't have gotten much more than $50 each anyhow. Better the iBooks stay in the community that originally paid for them. That way the community gets the benefit rather than (usually) a for-profit recycling/refurbing company. Not that I'm against for-profits making a buck, but we _are_ talking about public funds here. (Yeah, I know - some of these iBooks will turn up on eBay and elsewhere - still, I'm sure most will stay with, and be used by, county residents.) Henrico County's implimentation of the sale wasn't the best though. There are plenty of ways to control this sort of thing, too bad they didn't forsee how many buyers would show up. Shame the replacements are Dell . . . hee hee - wanna bet there'll be no similar riot when Henrico County goes to flog off that lot in a couple of years?

Re: best photo organizer
By way of reminder, I'm the one trying to save photos from iPhoto to CD, but iPhoto keeps filing them for me in folders that are numbered by year, then within the years by month, and then within the months by day. As a result, these photos often have duplicate numbering systems. So when I try to save them all at once, I am told that a photo already exists with that name, and do I want to replace it? I tried that once, and ended up with around 600 photos, so that means that about 500 of them are somehow duplicates. My PC son says there's an automatic way to renumber into a consecutive series a group of photos, files, whatever, that are grouped into one folder. If I could do that, then I could burn all of these photos without using iPhoto to do it. Claire Graphic Converter www.lemkesoft.de will do batch renaming, batch conversion to a different format and a bunch of other things. You open a window, select the files you want renamed, fill in how you want renamed, you can add to the original name or make up a new one. It's shareware but the trial version is fully usable. You just have a nag screen for 30 seconds when you start up. I've actually paid (about $35) for a couple of copies for various family members. -- Andrew in Ann Arbor -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

A small clip from the BBC article about the riot: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4159678.stm It's rather strange that we would have such a tremendous response for the purchase of a laptop computer, and laptop computers that probably have less-than- desirable attributes, said Paul Proto, director of general services for Henrico County commenting on the sale of the four-year-old machines. County officials said they would review events and see what could be done differently for future sales. Unofficial estimates said more than 12,000 people attended the sale. Excuse me? less-than-desirable attributes? Well, now we know why they're going to Dells--another IBM-centric idiot who doesn't know what they had. :) Later.Howard -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: $50 iBooks @ UVA
Microsoft didn't have to work too hard. How many people continue to buy junk automobiles that last 2 or 3 years and are worth very little if anything by the time they are paid off. I include most American made cars in that group of junk Same as junk peecees. It's become a throw-away society unfortunately. Most people expect and embrace planned obsolescence in this country. Its not that American cars are junk it's that a lot of people don't know how to take care of them. Change the oil and perform regular maintenance and 200k + miles is not a problem. I've had several American cars last this long, foreign too. Working on 201k on a Toyota and has a Pontiac Bonneville with 214k on it before I traded it. PC's and Macs become obsolete because of advances in technology and software requirements, not because people throw them away. Actually, NBC only reported notebook computers and didn't mention iBooks or Apple at all. Later..Howard CNN's site said the same thing Notebooks. I don't think it would be good for Apple if they used the name. I doubt the reporters even knew what they were selling. A LOT of people don't know what an iBook is, but a lot of people know what a notebook is. Just defending the American public and fighting hate. :: Mindaugas www.mindaugas.us More robots less humans!

Re: best photo organizer
I've not done this, and there may be an easier way, but: I'd make a new iPhoto library of the basketball pictures. Take all your original CDs (hope you have them). Copy them one by one to individual, nicely named, folders on your hard drive (bball-JDoe-to-May312005. For each folder, run an app like FileWrangler or QuickName (see macupdate.com, I use FileWrangler if I need to batch rename, but I'm not sure it's the best one) to rename the files, adding a -1 or a -2 or a -3 to the files in the different directories (to make their names all unique). Use -1 only for one dir, -2 for the next, etc. Now, you can import to iPhoto, making sure that you set the prefs to leave the original the heck alone (so your nicely named folders and files are still intact), and put a copy of the photo in the iPhoto library. Congrats, you've just doubled your use of file space, but you can still work with your photos in a sensible manner if you need to. :) Now, if you want to select a subset in iPhoto and export it to a folder, all the names will be unique. Is there a way to do this within iPhoto already? I think not, since you're getting the issue of duplicate filenames when you export, one would HOPE it would have renamed them -1 -2 -3 etc. on export like when you download the same file from the web with Safari multiple times, but I guess they didn't program iPhoto like that? That's at least one way to fix your problem, perhaps not the best though. For the # of photos you have, it shouldnt be too bad. Brian, I have 1100+ photos. I cannot imagine handling 1100 photos one at a time, renaming each one, running an app on each one, resetting prefs on each one, etc. Also, I do not have the original CDs, as I've already returned them to the various families. I created a 29 minute iMovie last March using nearly half of the photos plus a few QT movie clips that we showed at the end-of-the-season banquet; now I just want to burn them all and distribute the CDs to all the families that want one, possibly 30 families.

Re: $50 iBooks @ UVA
Truthfully, Most of the knowledgeable computer people I know like OS X, and are envious of it when I show it off. They like the functionality, and wish they could also have a virus free computer, and simply wish the mac was more standardized compared to PCs so they could use al the same hardware/software. mostly, though, they are still stuck on the macs are too expensive idea. Even after I show them cheap macs like the mac mini or iBook it doesn't fully sink in. They've been told otherwise for too long. They also don't quite grasp the idea that macs now use a unix based OS. Mostly, though, PC users who really know computers simply don't like apple as a company, or they don't like how elitest mac users can sometimes appear. We all know how nice these macs we have are, and why they are preferrable to PCs. But it's best we not brag about it to those who don't use Macs. It's as offensive to a PC user as when a president of an all PC college steps forward and says all of the macs that people stampeded for are worthless and he can't fathom why people would be so stupid. Instead, just let the mac speak for itself to catch others attention. You can help it talk, but try not to say bad things about the windows world, since it implies bad buying/decision making of the PC user. Catch more flies with honey than vinegar and all that.

Fortunately, the standardization of the labs does not extend to the faculty and staff, and we're allowed to choose whatever platform will allow us to get the job done, whether that's MS-Windows, Mac OS9, Mac OSX, UNIX, LINUX, etc, though it is preferred that you try to be relatively current in the version of the OS you're using. The students are welcome to use whatever platform they wish, with possible exceptions where a particular class requires they use a software package that is not available on their platform of choice.

Problems with situations like these is that management either surrounds themselves with inadequate accounting staff who do not properly look into the options available, or they do not listen to their accounting staff.

Now I am in the process of trying to catalog my files and it is a struggle (anybody on the list who uses it and is willing to help a newbie --let me know off list). I have found Extensis support to be almost non existent and when I query their knowledge base I get a listing of every article in it. I have not found a user's forum so at this point no help seems to be available. I have considered selling my copy on eBay and absorbing the loss, but now have decided to keep working at it. Needless to say, I would not recommend Portfolio. And advice to others is to start now with something--don't wait until you have thousands of images. I have found Portfolio Desktop Edition 5.0.2 (running in Classic under 10.4.2) to be very intuitive and easy to use. I have been recently planning to upgrade to the latest OS X version but your message has given me pause. Could you be more specific about the problems you are having? Thank you, David In your case having already learned the Portfolio system, etc. you would not likely have the problems I have had. My biggest issue is with the Extensis mind-set and almost unwillingness to provide assistance. Example-- I emailed customer service with a question about transferring ownership of my copy if I decided to sell it. They responded with two telephone numbers I could call. I then decided to keep it and see if I couldn't learn to use it since I needed a solution. Another example-- I could not get a new catalog set up (I had already set up several) and I would get an error message--An unexpected error has occurred--- after several attempts with same result--I decided to query the knowledge base. When I asked the question about establishing a new catalog, my response was a listing of over 50 articles that I could review to maybe find the answer. None of them seemed to deal with setting a new catalog--which obviously is pretty basic. I finally figured a way around it and have not had to set up a new catalog since. The total number of articles in their system is 63 (my last check) and that covers v. 6. and v.7. Not much effort on their part, in my opinion. I am not stupid but a new user needs some basic information and the users manual does not provide it. For example, some suggestions on the best way to convert 1000s of files into the new system. How should a numbering system be developed and how can I batch convert with new keywords when I can't see the image. I finally solved this by using PE3 file browser to look at my files of images and then go to Port to add a bunch with similar key words. There may be an easier way within Port but I have not discovered it. So hopefully, that gives you an idea--I don't think my problems will bother you--just new users. FYI Shutterbug magazine has a very good review of v.7 http://www.shutterbug.com/test_reports/0205portfolio/index.html Another reviewer indicated that Portfolio was more user friendly than iViewmediaPro which I tried out. ?but I went this way.

Every Mac I've ever owned, since the 80s (Plus, II, IIci, 7100/66, 7300/120, BW, PB 180, PB G3, PB G4, etc) are ALL still working. In the last five years alone, my housemate has killed three desktop PCs and a laptop. His 4th desktop just went to the shop yesterday for repair. His new (1yro) laptop has already required repair.

Thank you for your explanation, although I must say that if I am any example, unless 6 and 7 are vastly different from 5, I think most users would have an easy time learning the program: File/New Catalog (or Command+N) to open a new catalog; drag photos to catalog window; FileOpen Catalog (or Command+O) to open and view a catalog; double-click an image for an enlarged view. I don't think I have found a reason to use any other functions. Of course, I understand that my needs may be very different from yours. In my business (industrial advertising), we receive photos on CDs or via FTP. The photos are already labeled. Cataloging them in Portfolio gives us a convenient way to quickly look over the photos and see what is available for a particular job without opening each photo.

MacMall wasn't one of the two. Several companies seemed to want to provide high quality service but messed up sometimes and took a while to get it fixed. I'd do business with them if the price they offered was significantly better than my favorite two could offer. MacMall wasn't among these companies. Two companies seemed totally clueless and I sometimes wondered if this apparent cluelessness was intentional. MacMall was one of these.

Re: $50 iBooks @ UVA
This argument has a huge flaw. Once upon a time a Mac was seriously over engineered but they are not today. A Mac largely uses components that come right off the shelf the same as PC manufacturers. The only exception would be the logic board but even there Apple is using far fewer custom chips today and utilizing off the shelf components there too. Apple's assembly quality control is probably better which accounts for Apple's lower dead on arrive rate than other manufacturers but once you've achieved burn in I don't think the argument that Apple's are higher quality holds water. It is completely true that Macs last longer than PCs but I'd argue that it is largely OS related today and not hardware. In the 90's while hardware was getting faster and faster and Microsoft released 95, 98, and Millennium, each version of the OS required faster computers, more memory, higher powered graphics cards, bigger hard drives. I upgraded my Win3 machine to Win95 but two weeks later reinstalled Win3 and bought a new computer with Win95. I didn't upgrade to Win98, I knew better. I bought a new computer. That computer wasn't too old when Win2k came out so I upgraded and lived with it for a few months before buying a new computer. I didn't upgrade to WinXP and I won't upgrade - in face based on the specs I CANNOT upgrade to WinVista. But when I bought a new PowerMac 7200 which came with MacOS 7.x every time I upgraded to the new version of the MacOS I got a faster computer! Sure, when I upgraded to OS 9 I needed more memory and by that time I had a much larger hard drive but the fact remains that from MacOS 7 through MacOS 9 while memory requirements increased the upgrade didn't create a speed hit - it gave a speed increase. Now the shift to OS X required that I buy a new computer but from OS 10.1 through 10.3 I got a faster computer and if 10.4 didn't give me greater speed it didn't slow it down either. And that is why I think Macs are lasting longer than PCs.

Re: Free Wireless Internet access on the road report
Usually at Best Western. Both places had free high speed internet connections available. Be advised that you should carry a ethernet cable with you as not all offered wireless connections. Each motel that did not offer wireless had a modem and ethernet cable available in the room for use plus usually one available in the lobby. On the rare occasions I travel, I take the G3 iBook running 10.3.9, with AirPort Card, with me. I have zero problems connecting to Wi-Fi setups. I have had zero success connecting using the Ethernet cable connection. I have called the hotels' tech support numbers, but often it's a case of checking in around 7:00 in the evening, trying to connect using the Ethernet cable, failing, calling tech support, getting a promise to call back and they never do call back. Is there some URL out there where I can find instructions for how to hook up at hotels/motels using the Ethernet setup? Many thanks, bob -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

[again we see PC as being used exclusively for Windows] The phenomenon is called WinRot. It's caused by lots of things: programs with sloppy uninstall routines that litter your hard drive with their leavings; conflicts between several different versions of the same DLL; Registry gunk; invisible startup programs; and more. [All of which are not a problem in OS X] Microsoft claims that it's got the problem on its radar, and that Vista will stop the rot. [rght... raise your hand if you buy it...] Vista will include a control panel applet that monitors system performance, and that will suggest what startup programs may be causing problems. Microsoft also says it's cleaning up the plumbing to fix the DLL conflict problem. And it's adding new features such as automatic disk defragmentation that it says will help as well. [they are focusing on cleaning up the problem after it happens, rather than preventing it] I'm only partially convinced. Some of the rot-stopping features, such as SuperFetch are essentially juiced-up versions of existing features, and don't seem as if they'll necessarily do much good. For example, even if you regularly defrag your system, it still slows down over time, and so automatic defragging won't solve the problem. [exactly] Still, it's heartening to know that Microsoft recognizes WinRot, and will at least partly solve it. On the other hand, the less WinRot there is, the less excuse there is to buy a new PC every year or two.
