I have a 30g Video.
Anyone know of a utility that will show/scroll song lyrics on the iPod?

I was over at a friends today helping him with some minor computer
stuff. I wanted to show him some funny video clips from jibjab and you
tube but the jibjab clips were very jerky and not fluid like they
should be. He said the same thing happens on YouTube also but I

I want to use Audacity on my Mac Pro. Two questions: (1) not sure how to  
get the help files, or is there any other doc (Google doesn't seem to
show anything); and (2) how does one install libmp3lame for an Intel
mac? Do i have to build it, or is there a binary already? I ...

Hopefully I don't end up starting a little flamewar here, but I'm
curious to know:
Between OS 8.6, 9.0.4, 9.1 and 9.2.2 (and maybe 9.x + the updated
extensions from OS X Classic), which of the Classic OSes, running

I have a black MacBook, 2gb RAM, roughly 100gb free hard drive.
At least 5 times in the last few weeks while downloading or synching
in iTunes it has shut itself down whithout me touching the keyboard or
mouse pad.

My daughter's off to college with a new computer, and has given me her
old iMac.  The machine thinks it's name is "HerName's iMac".  How do I

At one time I had a collection of x-face images -- can't find it now.
X-Face images are the little pictures in the upper left-hand corner of
the header in a UseNet posting.
Check any posting from Michelle Steiner (or me) and you will see it.

I was looking at the new iMac Tech Specs and they mentioned an "optional"
hard-disk.  Does it mean that there's room in the new iMac for a second
internal hard-disk or does it mean that the optional hard-disk would replace
the "primary" internal hard-disk?  In the latter case (no ...

hope this is the right group to ask.
My eMac (G4,1.25Mhz,750MB RAM) will go into sleep mode but when I
press a button on the keyboard the CRT will sound like a degauss and
the power is off.

I have a small, but annoyingly growing, list of websites that I can't
access - the connection just times out - on this machine running OS
10.4.10.
The standard response from various places on the web is to clear by

The telnet sever start with the OF

If I haven't completely lost my mind, I seem to remember that in an
earlier version of Mac OS X, maybe even an earlier version of Tiger, in
System Profiler.app, one could learn a lot more about an internal CD/DVD
drive: whether burning is supported, what typed of discs are burnable

I have two Macs on my home network running OSX 10.4.9 and
they are both using 192.168.1.1xx addresses.
I sometimes can mount the disk on the other Mac
but it is only when I use the private IP address

A 15" PowerBook running Tiger had a logic board failure.  
While it's in the shop we're attempting to access some of the files that
are in a SuperDuper! backup of this PB which was written to an external
80 GB LaCie FireWire pocket drive.  We're doing this by mounting this
