3D Design Software
Hi Guys, I'm after a pretty simple to use 3D rendering program for OS X that will run on my MBP. Any chance anyone has had any experience with one? Cheers! ~Chris
ibook kernel panics
Hi folks, My ibook is having kernel panics. Doesn't seem to be any application that is at fault, although i had been exporting iPhoto images to a USB flash drive just prior to the first. Unfortunately, I can't find my start=up disks, but did have a generic start-up disk and did a re-install. Still have the panics and now can't use mouse pad and other iBook features. I'm using OSX 10.4, 1.42GHz iBook with 768Mb RAM. Any ideas or help? Gordon

Re: ethernet port
Many thanks to Jo, David and Paul. I keep forgetting to try the Pram zap. I did get it to function after talking rather sternly to it and hitting it with TechTool Pro and Yasu. TechTool reported that the network was fine. I don't know which did it...probably the tongue lashing. Once I set it up at my friend's place I will zap the pram to be doubly sure. I have read quite a few conflicting reports about the validity of zapping the Pram, but in the past have had success solving some problems by doing it. Once again, thanks to the collective knowledge of this group. regards Kev

My G4 laptop has started to crash repeatedly sending off reports to Apple by the score :-( My question is, Is there a set protocol to go through when this happens and where is it to be found? Mac Malcolm McCallum [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skype docmactor
