This may be potentially off-topic to this newsgroup but I couldn't find an
iTunes newsgroup.  I have a couple of questions regarding iTunes (which I've
never used).
- What is the quality of the movies.  DVD quality?  Blu-ray quality?

Maybe it's because I'm a late comer to Macs, and got used to the way
Windows does things - or maybe it's because I have to use Windows at
work, but...
I keep finding that I use my mouse button to implement something - and

I have an old Palm Pilot (Palm Vx) that connects to a computer through
a serial port.  My new Mac mini doesn't have such a port.  Some serial
to USB adapters (Nexxtech brand) are sold at the Source store, but the
store clerk told me that Mac OS X doesn't have the drivers for them.

Any thoughts? I need to run RHEL 4, SLES10 and Windows XP. I'm trying
the Fusion eval now, just wondering if anyone had opinions either way.
I will not use Bootcamp as I need to run these other OS'es periodically
for reference as the Mac is running.

I have a serial faxmodem left over from my OS/2 system and thought it might
be nice to hook it up to the iMac for faxing.
So I bought a USB-Serial converter cable, hooked it up, and installed the
driver.  The USB-Serial cable shows up in the USB Device Tree of the System

I bought Parallels, thinking that I could run windows on my Mac.  
Now it says that I need to install Windows.
Like... do I actually have to go out and pay $200 for a crappy version
of Vista to get this program to work?

I clicked on "Never for this website" one time at a site that I now
wish was saved in my keychain. Any ideas as to how I can get Safari to
save this password for me?
Thanks.

Hey guys,
Like many of you in here, I don't run anti-virus software. Hell, I
don't even *own* any anti-virus software. Now a friend of mine has
asked me to help her; she's been sending some documents from her Mac

Does anybody know where to find a used one?
Does anybody know how I can find the specs on it?
Can it be replaced with an ATX type power supply?
The Mac Pro uses a server type motherboard made by Intel so you wouldn't

It might be Apples latest and greatest, but it's a lot slower than IE.
A much more comprehensive report is coming.

I just pulled the two one gig memory sticks that came as "standard" with
my new MacBook Pro and replaced them with a pair of two gig memory sticks.
The ones I pulled are perfect, and came out of a week-old machine.
Samsung manufacture, "1GB 2Rx8 OC2-5300S -555-12-E3" is what the ...

I tried Leopard for the first time today (i'm not like most people who
had to buy it on the first day it came out)

Hi
Greetings!!!

I've read a few older posts on Macs and projectors, but haven't seen
any discussion on why Apple has not successfully entered the projector
market.  Does anyone have any theories on why that is?
I love my new MacBook Pro and I carry it with me to all my meetings.
