air print
Any one out there had any experience with any of the printers Apple recommends on their website for using this tech??? I have looked at them, none is rated more than 3 out of 5 stars... reviews are full of people who have had these printers a few days who are happy, but as time goes on, the experience seems to sour. I have a Macbook Pro, an iPad, 2 iPhones the iMac I am writing on, all connected wirelessly via the Clear modem my isp sent me, would like to be able to print.

The Al plate that the boards are mounted to in the G3 iMacs acts as a giant heat sink and conducts the heat away from the CPU, then the heat is dispersed by passive convection (no fan). So any additional heat generated beyond what it was designed to handle can be hard to dissipate, though it's probably not much of an issue unless it is operating in a warm environment, running at 100% or doesn't have much air movement around it.

But, external firewire drive-no internal bus size limit (or hacks to get around it), no surgery required, easy to replace/upgrade in the future.

Bruce, how are you able to capture a screen shot, highlight an area and then make notes on it? My screenshots are always taken with the built in command-shift-4 shortcut, which is the freeform screen capture mode (hint: tapping the space bar while the camera is over a window automagically selects that window). Then I use the annotation tools in Preview (which are 10.6+ only, I think, sadly) or Graphic Converter to do the annotations on the png. I do this all the time for support reasons because a picture is worth endless text and less open to interpretation. Grab (in the utilties folder) might let you do the same thing. There's also a FUSE file system for screen captures, so you have a directory of images of open windows at all times, but I cannot recall it's name right now.
