Onyx Question

2005-12-22 Thread Barry Muller
Based on an earlier thread I downloaded Onyx to do some house keeping. I have run it twice and each time it asks for my system password. Is that usual? I know that to install software I get asked to provide the PW, so I know I'm open to comment as to what am I worried about, but this constant

I'd suggest either a Pioneer DVR-K05 or Matshita/Panasonic UJ-845, either will work great. I chose for my TiBook the Pioneer unit, under US$90 (shipped) from zipzoomfly: http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=171021 or from meritline for US$90:

Huh? Their routers all seem to have web-config and they're all 802.11, so I don't see how it can not be mac-friendly. I havent used one yet though, so correct me if I am wrong. On 23/12/2005, at 4:01 PM, Caleb Cupples wrote: The big issue with Linksys is that they're not very Mac friendly.

Generally routers works fine for both PC and Mac but manufacturers had the habit of putting in their box that product works ok with Windows -- XP etc and no mention that it works ok with Mac. Perhaps they are not targeting Mac users as their clients. Clem On Dec 22, 2005, at 10:40 PM,
