Until now I have been very happy with the 44.1 Kc/s, 16-bit audio on a

for the highest quality I use the converter in a Sony Prodat recorder
and transfer the results by S/PDIF through a Pro-Tools PCI card..

I have an iMac and a Macbook. Both running Leopard.
I connected my external drive to my iMac and Time Machine seems to work
reliably.
I disconnected the drive and connected it to my Macbook, which also seemed

related to networked volumes? Because AutoFS in OS X 10.5 is, quite simply,

So, not trusting Time Machine anymore I've decided to use ChronoSync to
backup my Home directory to the external drive that should have been
for TM. I've used ChronoSync for years, but just to sync a laptop with
a desktop.

If Front Row is now the same Front Row as on Apple TV, does that mean it
will be as hackable? Anyone seen any hacks yet?
I'd be interested in jiggling the menu structure a bit, and getting it
to look somewhere other than the Movies folder by default, but simply

I notice one can buy an OEM version of Windows XP from places like Amazon for
