Yup, I always have to look at the plug and look at the receptor. otherwise, I get it wrong just by guessingby Spiff - Tips and Deals
Re: Backup HD... USB2 or FW400? - 15 years ago
OK, you got me. I was spreading the rumors that I have read here on macresource. I have no actual fact for that statement other than what I have read here... Such as this rumor based post (near the bottom): I think I read that right. Please correct me if I am wrong (not the first time)by Spiff - Tips and Deals
Re: My sister's hybrid Highlander. - 15 years ago
elmo3 has a good point, and, errr, well articulated. However, I don't think that 'mint had an actual beef, but that the thread got inflated to such. Just my thought.by Spiff - Tips and Deals
Re: Women: Grumpy just doesn't understand them-What's your take? - 15 years ago
Plus, if you asked her out, she said yes, and it didn't go very well, it would have gotten messy. I have made it a personal policy to not date people from work. Severely limiting, but ultimately more comfortable. I sleep well at night. =) Cut your losses. Don't think twice, avoid contact. And if there is contact, look at the eyes. Nothing below the neck, as tempting as it is.by Spiff - Tips and Deals

Re: Backup HD... USB2 or FW400? - 15 years ago
Finally figured out where that sig came from, mattkime. =) Oh, and I seem to remember reading somewhere that Mac, for whatever reason, supports Firewire over USB, so that the performance of firewire 400 will be better than USB 2, even though they are technically the same speed.by Spiff - Tips and Deals
Re: Replacing DSL with cable internet - any advice on the transition? - 15 years ago
Depending on the time of day, there may be a slow down. Also depends on how many people in your neighborhood are using comcast. I myself have had both DSL and cable. I am pleased for the most part with Comcast. I have had to restart my modem maybe 3 times in the past two years. Yes, it is annoying, but the service has only been out for 2 hours at the most.by Spiff - Tips and Deals
Re: iSight question? - 15 years ago
If you are ok with the possibility that others can be watching and listening to your private life, then go for it! Seriously, though. I have no idea how far it could go. I am very un-informed when it comes to internet security, and only believe what I *cough* read *cough cough* on the internet *wink wink*. I suppose I play it stupid and make sure I have as much protection between myself anby Spiff - Tips and Deals

Re: Apple Store was busiest store at the mall - 15 years ago
Yup, the Apple store was busy in Richmond, VA. Again, the geniuses were staring off into space. However, there was a little more than elbow room to move (thank goodness). MacBooks and iPods were the hit of the day, apparently.by Spiff - Tips and Deals
Re: airport express, can't connect to network... - 15 years ago
I actually might be wrong. You might be able to see the express router in the admin utility, but it will not be configured and will have it's serial number as it's name. Was thinking about that as I snoozed this afternoon.by Spiff - Tips and Deals
Re: iSight question? - 15 years ago
BGnR is right. All have to be on board with the latest greatest and .Mac to have the chat secured. I stand (sit) corrected.by Spiff - Tips and Deals
Re: Airport Base Station+Express+Airtunes - 15 years ago
I do the same thing you are wanting to do. My B&W G3 is hardwired up to the airport express. It then will send wirelessly to the other airport express that is hooked up to the stereo. No problems. Have fun! =)by Spiff - Tips and Deals
Re: iSight question? - 15 years ago
You do not need a .Mac account to use iChat. Once you have set up an iChat account, it's yours regardless. The difference, which is not readily available on the marketing sites, is that without a .Mac account, the chat session is not secure and anyone who knows a lot about this stuff can hack in and listen. With a .Mac account, the session is "secured". I am getting a family .Mac acby Spiff - Tips and Deals
Re: airport express, can't connect to network... - 15 years ago
In addition, if you have done a hard reset of the airport express, then you need to go through the setup utility. the Admin utility will not see the airport express. I agree with doing the admin setup through the ethernet hardwire.by Spiff - Tips and Deals
Re: Bought all your gifts yet? - 15 years ago
I've been done with shopping. Did about 30% online and the rest I picked up as the year went on. Yes, I look for things starting January 1st, as disgusting as that sounds. I've got all those that I want to ship, shipped. Those that I am taking home will get wrapped this weekend. Weeeeeee.by Spiff - Tips and Deals

Re: "the devil made me do it".....a new law suit..... - 15 years ago
So if the guy were, say, drinking alcohol, he can sue the company for damages because they did not help him? It's the same concept. Hmmmm. As I've been saying. We Americans have an over-inflated sense of entitlement.by Spiff - Tips and Deals

Re: Can my MacBook Pro w/Core Duo be upgraded to a Core 2 Duo? - 15 years ago
My guess (and it is just a guess) is that the processors are soldered onto the mother board. I seem to remember this question popping up about older laptops from Apple, and that was the answer. Just out of curiosity, can other brands (Dell, Gateway, HP etc) be upgraded? For some reason, I had the silly notion that all laptops had their processors soldered onto the mother board and that was oneby Spiff - Tips and Deals
photo booth? - 15 years ago
My brother and I are going to surprise our parents with an iChat conference xmas morning. Parents have G5 iMac with built in iSite. Bro's got a 1.25 G4 dulie and I've got a 1.5 G4 Al PB. Got a free (silent) upgrade to 10.4 from the Apple store with a new HD they installed. I just opened my iSite camera to see what it could do. I wanted to fool around with the camera using photo booth, but I dby Spiff - Tips and Deals

Yeah, but it's still a cool show. I suspect this will be like another X-files type show where they tease you all the way with no good closure. I'll keep watching for now.by Spiff - Tips and Deals
