Re: Worth taking a chance on ebay toner for Canon A30 copier cartridge? - 18 years ago

Also, I forgot. I have a burner tool that burns a hole in the carts. I fill and then cover with duck tape. I have a couple extra burner tools if you want one- I could ship it to you for just the cost of shipping. If you drill, you need to make sure you don't get any plastic filings in the cart, or make sure you get them all out before filling. Let me know.

Re: Worth taking a chance on ebay toner for Canon A30 copier cartridge? - 18 years ago

I do it all the time with our copier at church. Ours is a Canon and uses the E40 cart. As a matter of fact, I just got an order of 8 bottles (enough for 8 refills) in the mail today. It has saved us a ton of money. Here is the company I use. I've ordered probably 50 refills from and never a problem. They are on eBay but also have their direct number. Here's the link to my last auction purch

AirPort Extreme Base Station Old vs New - 18 years ago

I'm looking at the now discontinued AirPort Extreme Base Station that is available for $99 as an Apple refurb. Other than the 802.11n, what are the real differences (I'm pretty much a novice on the wireless stuff). Can a USB hub or USB HD be attached to the USB port on the old model? Those are both mentioned as features of the new model? The refurb model has the internal modem as well as the e

Toast Titaium 8 download bundled with Windows only software?? - 18 years ago

Just wanted to let you all know. Roxio is selling some MacWorld software bundles of its newly released Toast Titanium 8 software. If you want to upgrade the software only, it's $99 with a $20 rebate. However if you go to www.roxio.com/macworld, you can see some offered bundle specials. I hate rebates, so I decided to download one of their bundles- Toast 8 with XingTones 5 (a ringtone conver

FU- Office Depot iPod Speaker fiasco - 18 years ago

I was one who bit and bought three of the cheapy speaker systems. Like others, I e-mailed my complaint. I got the same e-mail as others stating that they were issuing a credit and that I could keep, donate or throw away the speakers. Well, imagine my surprise this morning when I receive an e-mail from OD. I get an apology, they state they have corrected the erroneous description (but they stil

Many thanks rgG. I sent them the e-mail. I just got my order- they really are unbelievably cheap. Looks like we might get a mini-plug to mini-plug cable out of the deal, that's about it though. Can you believe what they are passing off as a docking station?

Re: iMac- It's here! - 18 years ago

Well, everything is set up and running just "snappy". I haven't been able to do much yet, but what a nice machine. I've been using Macs since 1986, starting with a Mac 512Ke. I paid around $2000 for that one used. I've had multiple Macs since then, they just get better. I am a Pastor and am using it at my office at the church. I do a lot of desktop publishing stuff and a lot of video

iMac- It's here! - 18 years ago

Re: help import iTunes library to another computer - 18 years ago

I just did this, and actually there is an easier way to do it. Copy the iTunes folder to the new Mac and put it where you want it. Then, hold down the option key while launching iTunes on the new Mac. Keep it held down until you get a dialog box that gives you the option of creating a new folder or locating an existing folder. Simply choose the new folder. Your iTunes should be identical to wh

I just picked up a used G5 1.8Ghz machine. i have a G4 Dual 1.42, both running 10.4.6. I am using migration assistant to move some of my settings over- or at least I'm trying to. Problem is: G4 goes into FE mode, both are connected with FW cable. G4 has 4 internal HDs. Only one of the HDs shows up and it's not the boot drive of the G4. All I see in Migration Assistant is the message "Wai

My end goal is to record things in good quality rez and then output what I want to keep to DVD in the most effecient manner possible.
