2009-07-11 Thread starrf...@valley.net
I'm thinking about buying an Airport Extreme N to use its ability to mount usb disks. (According to a detailed review, it can mount multilple usb disks through a hub. Has anyone tried this?) Problem is, I need a dial-up modem. Currently I use a disk shaped Airport Extreme "g" with a built in mo

I'm running an ATI 9800 Pro Mac Version in a Quicksilver. Usually I have two LCD monitors on it, but once I used the TV output for a special job. Since then the board thinks there's a TV attached to it and always creates a TV screen which I can see in the Monitors Preferences Arrangement pane.

Kodak Printer?

I saw a TV ad that got my attention, though I am usually skeptical of such things. It was a Kodak multifunction printer (copier and fax) for about $100. What grabbed me is the claim that ink for this printer was much cheaper than for others, like a third the price or better. Like 3 times as man
