I am looking for a Mac OS X compatible scanner, duplex, with sheet
feeder, and as compact as possible. It is going to be in an office with
three secretaries, and used almost exclusively for B&W administrative
archiving.

HELP: Is this RAM Compatible? iMac 400 and Powerbook 1Ghz?
I have an iMac 400 Tangerine and Powerbook 1Ghz Dual-Boot Titanium.
I want to know if the RAM is interchangeable.
TIA!

I consider LaCie harddisks the best but not their short (USB or Firewire)
cables. LaCie may save 17 cents making cables so short that one has to
place the harddisk very close to the computer thus cramming the desk.
IEEE permits 4.5 meter, but 1.5 meter should be enough in most cases ...

Has anyone heard of someone changing the heat sink on their Mini?  My
PPC 1.25 ghz model would need a heat sink not exceeding 47 mm x 118
mm.  (47 mm is about 1.5 inches.)  A Sonic Tower might work if one
ground the 2 of the sides but it would be great to get a good one that

All of a sudden my audio-in has died.
Everything was working fine... then my mic stopped

i decided to move up from my G4 to a (non-intel) G5 = then i bought
(ebay) a new, sweet samsung 906bw monitor. i put a radeon 9800pro,
256mg card into the machine, updated the drivers and then hooked up
the samsung, only to discover their drivers (on cd) are only for pc!

Now that I have the 30" Apple monitor, I wish all apps and the Finder could
have tear-off menus. It's quite a reach to the top, and not all have
keystrokes (and regardless, with all the apps there would be more keyboard
shortcuts than I can remember.)

I have bought my iPod battery from www.ipodbatterydepot.com and they
were great.  The prices were very inexpensive, the installation was
easy, and the battery is lasting a very long time.

I was just given an Apple Laserwriter printer and there doesn't seem to be a
way to connect it to my computer.  I was wondering if there is some PDI card
to install or is there some other way to adapt it.

Looking for the above so that I can run an p-Touch which has a serial
port on my iMac USB.  Is thre such an item?

Is it true that only the Apple supplied ear buds can be used with the
iPhone? You cant go buy a Sony headset and plug it in?

How safe is it to try a video card from a PC in a B&W G3? How likely is
it to work?
Thx,

I need a new 512MB stick of 144 pin low profile PC133 SODIMM SDRAM for
my G4 800 Mhz 17" Imac. I see that everyone and his dog is selling new
Micron RAM for prices much lower than "name brand" used RAM. Any
experiences with new Micron RAM on ebay? Is it good quality or is it
