    Buy some more RAM... RAM is almost as cheep as water, and will make that system scream.

    128 MB is really minimal for OSX.

    You want even better than that. I work for a retailer that sells these cables, and as such I can buy them at cost + 10%.

    The last one I bought was the "Gold Series USB 2.0 Device Cable - 10 feet" Price $39.99

    What did I pay for it? Under $4 Canadian.

    It is a matter of personal opinion, but windows every version up to and including XP is the most horribly ugly thing I have ever set my eyes on.

    Strangely enough I also can't stand Mac OS 9-8-7.

  22. Re:Will Font Smoothing be less horrid? on Mac OS X 'Panther': User at the Center · · Score: 3, Informative

    How to make OSX more useable on low end hardware.

    1. Add RAM.
    2. Newer, faster HDD.
    3. Add RAM.
    4. The dock settings:
    Shrink the dock down as small as you can, and still use it.
    Magnification off
    Possition whatever you like.
    Minimize using Scale Effect.
    Uncheck Animate opening applications.
    Uncheck Automaticly hide and show the dock.

    5. Did I mention add RAM.

    This is what I did to my 266Mhz Wallstreet, 192Meg RAM, 20 Gig HDD, and it is quite useable. A little slow opening apps, but quite useable otherwise.

    With all the Dock eye candy turned on, it was unusable.

  23. Re:Can We At Least Agree... on The Case for Rebuilding The Internet From Scratch · · Score: 1
    If you ever want ipV6 you need first to get M$ to push it for you.



    1. Get M$ to install ipV6 in Windoze XXP

    2. M$ pushes for the adoption of ipV6

    3. We all get to switch to ipV6 == profit.



    Why would M$ do this favour for us? Simple, Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, ETC, all become useless overnight. (OK more useless.) Forced upgrades baby.
