I'm concerned that someone might install (or might already have
installed!) keystroke logging software or hardware on my powerbook.
I think it is probably not physically possible to install a hardware
device inside a Powerbook but would welcome comment.

I'm trying to find an older game for my new iMac. Quake III (3) Arena.
Is there somewhere online where I can download this or do you know of
any used Mac software sites? I have only the PC version of Quake III
on my kids computer, but I'd love to join one of their death matches.

hey. i bought an external, plug and play hard drive, to back up my files
and also to transfer files from my older windows laptop to my new
macbook pro. I formated the hard drive on windows as a NTFS drive (i
noticed that when you format on windows, mac can read the files, but

The display on my son's 12" (2001) iBook running some version of Jaguar
appears to be dead.  I've used the dongle to connect an external monitor
to it but still no joy.
The machine will startup normally (I think) and I can connect to it with

Anyone had any luck with Mapsource on a Mac/Parallels system.
On my system (10.4.10) it seems to install OK, but never sees the 2610
GPS unit.
Is it worth persevering or should I just add Mapsource to the long list

I can't quite find the answer via Google, but it must be easy. I have
a MacBook Pro with an iTunes music folder on it, and a remote Firewire
hard drive with its own iTunes folder, as it was being used for a tiny
iBook that didn't have enough room for all the music. The MacBook Pro

Stupid question, maybe, but I can't seem to think of any other
culprit. In the last couple of days, my Mac G4 will not mount iPods
which are connected via Firewire port. I have several different iPods
and I know that the  problem is not with those devices. My G4 has 2 FW

I'm going on a long plane ride with my wife and my MacBook Pro.  All I
have now is one USB Logitech headset that I like a lot.  I'm wondering
what the options are for splitting the audio into two headsets to use
to watch movies on the plane.

Digital audio Powermac G4. AGP slot. Video card is original ATI Rage 128.
I'd like to liven up my ageing G4's video so that I can get higher
resolutions, snappier display performance, and to turn on some of OS X's
Quartz eye candy. Can someone suggest some video cards that will ...

I have 2 Macs (Macbook Pro and Mac Mini). Both have the same OS
version and both are updated to the latest state. Macbook Pro has no
problems with showing near all menues and dialogues in Russian. Mac
Mini shows only a fraction of than. What is missing?

I have been interested in buying a dual G4 1.25Ghz. Somebody, out of
the blue informed me that is selling one but no  OS was installed in
the hard drives due to a fresh format. Thus, i grab my hard drive
(from a single 733Mhz model) and install it on the computer.

Just a reminder for those not yet used to trolls:
They are best treated by NOT answering, as that is all they want - to
keep the thread going.
They do not want an answer, they want an argument.

First, I apologize if this isn't the correct Mac form. It seems like a
system question to me though...
I used to be a support person for a Mac-based Advertising department
in a PC-centric company. I am/was very familiar with MacOS < 8.x, but

My daughter's going to college this fall
and needs a printer for her MacBook that will
do papers and color photos.
Any recommendations?

Any thoughts on what to do with this one?
Have a Powerbook G4 (Aluminium 1.33ghz/512Mb RAM) and when it boots,
the screen gets to the grey pre-icon stage, but no further. It makes
the startup chime and that's it. This is what I've done so far to no
