New Graphics Card?

[Doug Wilson]

I've got a 2x1.25GHZ MDD G4 with an ATI Radeon 9000 Pro. Problem is I want
to run Motion on it. Can anyone suggest a place in WA to order or buy a
Motion compatible video card? Retailers, please email me at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] with prices. Thanks.

Re: Wanted: External Firewire DVD burner

[Mike Fuller]

I've just installed a new Pioneer DVR108 (16X plus dual layer burning), 
bought locally, in a new external combo housing (firewire + USB2), 
bought on eBay, and it works like a charm with my PB 550.

Total cost < $220.

I updated the firmware on the drive (unfortunately had to do that via a 
peecee) and ran Patchburn 3 which allowed the system to accept it as a 
"vendor supported" drive - meaning I can burn directly using any of the 
relevant OS X programs.


Then again, the way prices are going if you wait another few weeks the 
total will probably be more like $150.


Cheers,

Mike Fuller

Thanks Adam, have installed and run it. Nice. But why didn't you tell 
me about this before I laid out for the latest Missing Sync! :-)

Re: Powerbook for sale

[Adam Yap]

It's just been clarified with me that it's not Applecare till Feb 2007 
but Tricare which is what they gave with Educational purchases. That's 
a 3 year warranty but no additional support.


I also have had no problems using a transferred education warranty but 
if there were any problems I'd be happy to help out the prospective 
buyer sort out the warranty.

Hey guys,

Since I posted up about wanting to trade up people have been asking 
about mine. There's no confirmed buyer yet, so I thought I'd post up 
the details:


Standard:
15" Aluminium Powerbook
1ghz
512MB DDR 333
60GB
64MB ATI Radeon 9600 Mobility (I think, not sure which Radeon 9xxx it 
is)

Combo Drive
Bluetooth Built In

Options:
Airport Express Card
Applecare (Until ~February 2007)

Condition is excellent (basically the aluminium ones don't scratch 
easily and mine lives in a laptop bag and on a desk).


Selling to upgrade. Anyone interested? Care to make an offer?

Already running a modded Xbox actually. Actually want to burn whole

I don't think that a DVD burner alone will allow you to play copied

run the

duplicated discs.

My Blog

[Adam Yap]

Here's a bit of narcissism:

http://www.adamyap.com/blog/archives/mac_os_x/index.php

That's the Mac OS X category of my blog. Thought I'd post up a link to 
it since I put up the "Whereis.com" lead on it.


I'll probably post regularly to it, I find a Mac OS X software gem 
roughly once a week so I thought I'd post something up.

Re: iMac wanted

[Adam Yap]

I wouldn't say for sure, but a iMac (the last one with the LCD screen) 
would probably cost more than $1,000. You'd have to ebay to be sure but 
I'm thinking at least $1500.


If it's just games, have you considered (oh the blasphemy) a Windows 
box?

if so has anyone got a system that they wish to sell? or an

Re: Brilliant little plugin

[Adam Yap]

Looking up Whereis entries from Address Book Brilliant!

On 05/10/2004, at 10:59 AM, Peter Hinchliffe wrote:

For a couple of very cool little downloads for your Panther or  
Entourage Address Books, go to


  



You'll find links to some very nice little Applescript files for use  
with either Address Book or Entourage.


To quote the author (from the readme for the Address Book version):

"MapQuest and hence the Map Of feature of Address Book is not much use  
for Australian addresses. This script obtains maps of Australian  
addresses from WhereIs, which works rather well.


Put WhereIs into /Library/Address Book Plug-Ins (if you have an admin  
account and want WhereIs to be available to all users) or  
~/Library/Address Book Plug-Ins (if you only want it to be available  
in your account).


Relaunch Address Book."

This stuff works! You just click on the "Home" or "Work" label next to  
the address details in an Address Book card, and your default browser  
takes to to the Whereis website, with the address pinpointed nicely on  
your screen. There is also a "Directions" plugin which shows you the  
shortest route to taken order to get there from your own address.


The downloads are tiny. Together, the two Address Book downloads come  
to about 31K. They files are free, but the author does ask for a  
donation.

Re: AvantGo Connect?

Adam,

It was on my Palm until very recently, and I could only of got it from 
Mac sources, I think. I'm just wondering if it came from the last 
Missing Sync, which I think is unavailable now, but just can't remember 
what it came with.


If it is just Windows and you can help, I'd appreciate it. Wouldn't I 
be able to download and install a .prc from my Mac?


Thanks, Matt.

Monday 18th OCT, from Macintouch :-

 Stefan Wunner, editor of the German-language MacGadget website, 
emailed us about new iBooks said to be set for a debut next week:
 Apple is going to introduce a revised iBook G4 product line next 
Tuesday. Besides the usual hardware improvements (speed bumps) there 
will be price reductions for at least one model. The new iBooks G4 are 
expected to ship next week to resellers and distributors.
