Well, after all that talk about choosing a new Mac Book Pro, I
started getting some scary error messages on my old PowerBook G4

Hello all:
Having been on both the development side (creating databases) and the client
side, I've never been able to identify a reliable software/application
development tracking tool. I've used an excel spreadsheet, and I tried
developing a tool from scratch in MS Access. The latter works,

I wanted to do just that in NeoOffice, but it became complicated, and
I wanted to get the job done quickly, so I went back to AppleWorks.

Thanks Tom. Based on the long report I got when I ran disk utility,
it appears that several program files are indeed scrambled. My new

Ah! Of course, the biggest problem with this use would be the slow
frame rates the event was likely shot at (or rendered to later).
Although some HD can go up to 60fps, many common web video formats
drop that to only 15fps, which should leave little but a blur on
faster athletics, no matter how

Well I can see why you wouldn't want to air her proclivities
It is silly of me to advise a sub 500 dollar computer when asked,
