Looks like it could be fun

Completely reorganising my hard drives. In light of yesterdays kernel
panic (without a crash log), I decided to abandon the RAID 0 setup for

What I had:

I hate Apple machines. I really, really do.
That's it, really. Nothing new; it's just that the wake from sleep issues
I'm experiencing were *not* solved by my basic troubleshooting. Now I

I quite often need to tune instruments with lots of strings.  What
I'm using at the moment is GarageBand's on-screen keyboard, but it's

Any opinions out there as to which is the better
package for Vinyl to CD?  Any other well-regarded
candidates?  I'm looking in particular for good

I have just purchased one of these WiFi USB adapters, but am having

I need to animate a GIF - but the only thing that needs to change is its
colour. I have FireWorks, FreeHand and Photoshop Elements at my
disposal. I can do all kinds of movement animation things with the first

I have a couple - well several actually - disc images which I want to
burn onto CD so I can then wipe the HD.
I can bun them as disc images onto disc no problem.
What I would like to do is mount them and then burn the contents to disc.

I have a load of avi files which play perfectly in VLC, but which QuickTime
Player 7.1.5 refuses to run...
I'd like to play them through my big screen TV, but sadly can't use the new
Apple iTV box as the files won't play in iTunes (did I say that they won't

I am toying with the idea of selling my G5 dualcore beast and going for
a 20" imac.
I have checked ebay and the prices seem to vary for G5 although my big

After several years fine service, I'm moving from Plusnet to Virgin

cable router?
