Re: @Dana G5 to MacPro
(Quote) So I will need to get a bootable DVD of 10.6.8 and install it normally on a small internal drive, transfer all my old Applewotks files to it and use it as a bootable drive in the preferences. Dan (end quote) Yes, or certainly a 10.6 disc, then update it to 10.6.8 via the web.

The nice feature about the Mac Pros is how easy it is to add another HD (it can take 4 - yum!). I found a smallish SATA drive, installed it, made it bootable into Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and reserved all my AW productivity for that volume alone, for which A-works still can run with Rosetta installed. When I'm done, I reboot into Lion (no ML yet) on the main drive and I am good to go with music work. Saved me having to find yet another app to contend with. HTH.

Re: Sudden problems with AuroraFox on Leopard G5
I've been using AuroraFox 17 for some months now on a 1GhHz PB under 10.5.8 - no problems for my rather light-weight browsing, e.g., mostly text while searching forums for answers to tech questions about ancient HW/SW (the G3-5 list, for example!). The only time it bogs down is when I have more than a few tabs looking at eBay items...

Specs on a Borderline 23 Apple Cinema DIsplay HD
Can anyone tell me more (tonight hopefully), about this 23 Apple Cinema Display HD? Identifiers: Aluminum - M9178LL/A - A1082 In particular, is it from the later made models that had 700:1 contrast ratio, as opposed to the early ones that had 400:1? Here are some research sites: This site: http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html/ with Serial number: 2A6311H8UG0 shows it was made in August 2006, Production Week 31. This other site states Apple changed the specs on August 7, 2006: http://www.everymac.com/monitors/apple/studio_cinema/specs/apple_cinema_display_23.html, from 400:1 to 700:1 for the 23 display. Do you know if this particular display has this improved quality? I have seen some Apple Support Group discussion on the subject, but could not draw a favorable conclusion. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
