This one is driving me nuts, I am using fcp4.11 under osx 10.3.2, and am
not able to capture without large numbers of frame drops
all this pain started with the update too 4.1, and has got worse with
each additional patch

Just wondering if it is possible to get Compact Flash modems or GPS
receivers to work through a firewire (or USB) CF card reader? Tried a
CF GPS unit in my card reader but nothing shows up. The same card in a
PCMCIA adapter works in a PowerBook.

Ive left Australia, so my Apple 15 inch LCD display is sitting dormant
at my mother's house in Adelaide.
Works perfectly - make me an offer...
Matt - remove the Xs to email me

In case anyone has Apple 2 stuff they'd like to get rid of, I'll just
put my hand up and say I'm also interested in various bits and pieces -
software, hardware, manuals, books, memoribilia - anything.

This is a pretty simple question, and hopefully has a simple answer.
I am running an emac G4 1ghz, 600+ meg of ram, but whenever I search for
something in Help Viewer, it takes a minute or two to display results.
Is Help Viewer slow for others? Is there anything I can do to make ...

Hi,
I am looking for some DVD-R 2x media suitable for the SuperDrive in a
Aluminium 15" PowerBook G4. Apple has stopped selling them in
Australia.

Here's a question....
Does a powerbook G4 with OS X 10.3 continue to run when the screen is folded
down, OR does it go to sleep? If it does go to sleep is there a way to stop
it?

I am replacing a broken Laserwriter Pro 630 which I was very happy with,
and know someone selling a 16/600 for AU$500. Is this reasonable?
It has the extra 500 sheet Paper tray feeder underneath but I don't
think I really need it.

pardon my newbiness.. I really really want a Powerbook or iBook. The problem
is that I need, for work, to run a lot of Win apps. I know I can get Virtual
PC, will this run everything? What is the speed loss % compared to native
Win? I won't be running games (well new games anyway)?

Hi, I'm currently looking for an apple powerbook and am looking into the
idea of maybe purchasing either a powerbook 15" or 17". Is there a cheap
place to get them cheap maybe secondhand or clearance stock? I've tried
ebay. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Any knows where I can download Chinese fonts SimSUN for Macintosh?
Thanks

any suggestions for a converter to let me use my high end SCSI only film
scanner on my PB via firewire?
BTW. I have tried an adaptec PCMCIA scsi card which totally failed to
find the scanner, even though OSX 10.3.2 supports the card
