My parents are moving overseas for a few years and are going through
Singapore on their way out. They're wondering whether it makes sense to
pick up a Mac Mini while they are there, or if the price isn't any
better than here. Would there be any differences in the product

if anybody has one or knows where i can get one, plz let me know.

Anyone tried shifting their Tiger /Users directory off their boot
partition? I did it in Panther and the arrangement works well for me, I
just can't find anyone's experience of doing it on Tiger.
I can probably nut it out for myself, but I won't if I don't have to.

I have a Mac running 10.3.9 and just would like to know, is this the worst
update ever to come out?
Has the ever been a really bad update?
What I have read, this update seems pretty bad

My employer subscrives to a MSDN-type thingy where they gets lots of
software, including Office for Mac and Virtual PC products.
They don't use them - they have no macs - can I use them at home?  or sell

"view options", right click instead and it is in the menu.

When I use Calculator (v3.2.1) to do the following calculation:
9000 - 8387.7 - 557.3
I get the result:
54.999999999999

I am using Safari 1.3 on a G4 iBook with 512MB RAM running under OSX 10.3.9
Over the last couple of days it has suddenly slowed down; HORRIBLY. Now
even MSIE loads a page faster than it does.
I amaware that the 10.3.9 upgrade was causing problems when I did it.

Hi all,
I want to upgrade a PowerBook "Pismo"s DVD rom drive to DVD/CD-RW. Can I use
any brand that is available? Will the system OSX 10.3 find it if I replace
it with something new? I use Toast to burn on my other computer and it seems

G'day all,
I'll keep it short: iMac DV 450, over the past 12 hours goes from being
rock solid screen to jittery, tall/squat (like someone's twisting the
