I've got a G4 DP 450 (gigabit ethernet) from 2000, with the 220 watt
power supply. I got it BTO with the high-speed SCSI controller and I'm
running an internal RAID with three 36-gig ultra-Quantums. I replaced
the original Rage 128 (16mb) AGP video with a Radeon 32mb and I've got a

Anybody figured out how to print a No. 6 envelope on a HP 1115
Photosmart printer?  No problem with No. 10's but I have not figured out
how to do a No. 6 (3 5/8 x 6 1/2).

Can I use the Airport Extreme card in my Mac Mini to play iTunes songs
on speakers around my apartment without buying an Airport Express?  Or
are there special speakers that are WiFi equipped?  I'd presume there'd
have to be.  If such speakers exist, where can I get ratings for ...

I amlooking for a very simple input device that has a few maybe as many
as 5 or 6 buttong that you could program with AppleScript.
I could just take apart a 4 button mouse and use that but I am wondering
if thereis something that might be more durable.

Im running Ghost 9 and it wont do incrementals....only baseline
backups.   This happens each day when I backup.  There is not much
changed on the drive...sometimes nothing. And there is no defrag
occuring on the disk and will always just do a complete baseline

I am thinking of using an Airport Express unit to stream audio to a stereo
system. The location of the stereo makes it difficult to drop a hardwired
connection so I want to use the wireless option.
This is one of the uses described for an Airport Express device, but the

Hey All
  I read that the G5 towers come with a DVI to VGA adaptor;  I'm
wondering if one could also use a ADC to VGA adaptor to run a second
VGA monitor simultaneously on the ADC port.

We have an iMac G4 that we got in 11/02.  Since getting it, we have had
several bouts of crashing and freezing.  One of those is taking place
right now.  The two symptoms are: graphics will come up with lowered
resolution, with part or all of the graphic replaced with blue dots.

Any ideas about where to start to maximize storage with an external
FireWire drive that is bus-powered?
Naturally, this is for a PowerBook--looks like the largest ones I've
found are for 2.5in laptop drives, which top out at 100GB.

I have an iMac 333hz with the standard 6.15mb HD.
I'm starting clean with it then will load software and transfer files
from my iMac 233.
The 233 has the same 6.15mb HD and I currently have used about 3.7mb on

The PR department where I work has created a DVD (I have not yet seen
this - but assume it is a standard DVD for play with a TV rather than a
data DVD).
The department I work in is "featured", and the department head - my

 Anyone know if there is an adaptor that would allow a parallel ATA
(EIDE) hard drive to be used as a second drive in the G5 towers?

  Anyone heard anything regarding the next wave of PM G5s?  I'm in the
market for a new machine, but I'd hate to buy the Dual 2.5 only to see
the Dual 3.0 come out next week for the same price.

Does anyone have their G5 or Mac Mini using a regular TV as a display? How
well does it work? Is there a way to center and size the image on the
screen?
The Apple store and all online places I've tried are out of stock on the DVI
