Word-underline with no text
I have been caused to use Word from Office 98 and wish to create a simple form to collect name, address etc. In Appleworks I would type Name and then click on Underline and use the space bar to draw a line to the desired length. Word does not seem capable of this. I have a manual and have searched that for clues as well as 'online' help. Is this simple task possible? Help please.

10.3.8 Audio Problems
Hi All! Further to my dramas with my TiBook and audio output, it seems to be a problem with the audio driver that has been in 10.3.6, 10.3.7 and 10.3.8. I have a copy of the 10.3.5 audio.kext driver, and see how that goes. If anyone else is having a drama with sound, please let me know! From what I can gather, it is also a problem on MDD G4s. Seeya Rod!
Re: 10.3.8 Audio Problems
Yeah smae prob here with MDD G4 which you were refering too. i haven't gone to 10.3.8 but they did mention that it didn't fix the problem. (and the problem i'm assuming you mean low hertz rate audio on startup) I haven't actually looked up any solution as i just unplug and replug my audio cable and they fixes it. but they did mention that 10.4 will fix all the problems they were having in the late 10.3. So the cynical side of me thinks they are either introducing probs or nto fixing them to encourage sales of 10.4 but then again that would be very cynical right :) let me know how you go with the driver as that i didn't try WEZ!

organised itunes over multiple drives?
I was wondering if anyone was aware of a way to create a 'virtual folder' over multiple drives. My itunes folder is in excess of 170GB (lossless compressed from my CD collection) and soon it will be larger than the 200GB drive. I am considering getting a 250GB drive, but I can see this will only ultimately be an interim measure. If I could span over multiple drives this would save much hassle. Currently I can't consolidate the library. I tried relocating 50GB off the drive, but it still wouldn't let me consolidate it. -navid

So try moving some artist folders to a new location on one of your other discs then just put an alias of each moved artist folder back in the main library. 2) From memory if you Add to library (as opposed to say importing a CD) then the path to the music is added but the actual music files are not moved to the iTunes music folder (unless you have copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library checkbox ticked in preferences) So: i) Move selected artist folders to your new location (delete any copies from old location) ii) Delete the artist(s) from your iTunes library iii) Add the artists to your library (navigating to the new location) Note: Do NOT at a later date Consolidate library as I think that will then move the files (back) to the iTunes music folder I have just tried 2) running iTunes on my iMac and adding some music located on my powerbook and it seems to work fine over the ethernet so I can't see why it wouldn't work for a firewire drive.

Without actually having done this, you should be able to create a raid array from multiple drives, then stick your iTunes folder on the new raid volume.

I thought of suggesting it earlier but baulked fearing recriminations. As a long term solution it will save much time and effort while providing benefits elsewhere as well. Going a step further, if your Mac has PCI slots then adding a good Hard Drive Controller will cap off a fast(er) Mac with LOADS of fast storage! What's worth having that comes easily and through work-arounds? I'd rather be fiddling with the genres, album names, ratings etc than be fooling around with the directories.

As someone who has had to deal with RAID quite a bit over the last couple of years, I can offer a few suggestions that have a lot of experience. Software RAID - Great for mirroring, don't trust it for striping. That said... The wamug server currently has 3 250GB drives striped using the built in raid tools. The difference here is that I don't care if it gets corrupted because it's just a mirror of a heap of other web sites that can be easily rebuilt by running a single script. I would not trust if for data that I actually cared about. PCI Hardware RAID Card - Great if you have the physical space. You can get cards that have three SATA ports on the which is great for creating a RAID 5 volume. These are only good though if you have a G4 that has a spot to put the drives. External NAS / SAN device. Something like this http://www.wiebetech.com/products/rt5.php Cheaper than an XServe RAID and uses a Firewire interface. Nice and reliable and also portable. Hardware RAID Device - XServe RAID Simply put, you get what you pay for. These things rock. I use one here at work and it is the best thing since sliced bread. - Matt

It's not very high on current storage but I have a SCSI Hardware raid box (Rack mountable - about the size of an XServe Raid I'd expect) for sale at an agreeable price! 4 swappable drive carriers hold 68 pin SCSI drives (Seagate Barracuda's 1x 18 GB = ST318436LW 3x 9 GB = ST39173W). 4 empty bays still available without drive carriers. You'll want a 68 pin SCSI card to get the most from it. Alternatively, if you have a 68 pin PCI-SCSI card about to be thrown out I'll put it into use myself!
