Trying to find a good replacement for my wife's Epson C80 which is now
barely printing text after replacing all cartridges.
Looking for a basic color printer with good text capability and OK
color/photo printing.

any time estimates?
thanks

I don't know a lot about these things but I thought that I would try to do a
repair on an iBook G3 700 for a friend.  The header for the logic board
broke, so I bought a used logic board only to find out that it was set up
with firmware version 4.5.4f1.  I can't seem to find out ...

When Will NEW IPODS come out?
What will they be like?

I have a 2002 iMac, 15" flat panel unit.  It has the 128mb factory
installed module, and a 128mb user installed module.  Can I put a 1gb
user installed ram module in the slot, or will that go over the limit?
Am I limited to putting a 512mb chip in that slot?

Both the Apple brand thin FireWire cable and the Belkin retractable FireWire
cable are a gazillion times more practical than the heavy duty standard
FireWire cables.
QUESTION. In real life usage, are the thin cables working at the same speed

I just bought one of the new Core 2 Duo iMacs and installed Parallels.
I tried to create a VM for Solaris 10 and got a kernel panic when I
tried to activate it in order to install the OS. I restarted and tried
again for Vista Beta 2. Same thing - kernel panic, crash, restart.

My old laptop had a fight with a magnet and lost. It will no longer
start. I want to take out the drive and put it into some sort of USB
caddy to drag the data off.
Is this possible?

I have a Powerbook G3 with a defective harddisk.
The original disk is an IBM DKLA-22160 2 GB IDE-drive.
My questions are:

I simply cannot get the airport to hook on to the network that i have.
Things were working fine until I encrypted the Router to keep what
seems like 8 million of my closest friends off of it.  After encrypting
the Linsys... the Apple Airport Express will not hook on.  Anyone else

One drive didn't mount, and now I've got a second such drive--on the
same bus. Are the drives bad or do I have a bad bus? Thanks.

I find that the current trend in keyboards is to uses fairly large keys that
fill the the keyboard's available area. This includes the Apple Pro keyboard
I am using. I find that my big fingers tend to catch the corners of adjacent
keys so that I introduce extra characters.
