Hello... First Post... Its a little long winded but any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I have a dedicated Power Mac G4 2001/2002 (733mhz 1.5GB Ram single processor) linked up to a specialist large format scanner. The G4 operates solely on OS9.2 as the large format scanners software can only work on OS9.2, but this G4 is starting to struggle, possible capacitor issues. I do not have the scanning software discs so am unable to install them onto another computer, and without this software and OS9.2 I would be unable to use my scanner, massive knightmare that I really want to avoid. Ideally I need to try and clone this G4 onto another G4. I have recently obtained a second Power Mac G4 (733mhz 1.5Gb single processor) but it is operating on OSX and does not have OS9 installed on it.
Q: Is it possible to clone my current Power Mac G4 (the OS9.2 operating system & its specialist scanning software) and make an exact clone onto the Power Mac G4 that currently has OSX installed on it?
I have never cloned a computer before, if the above is possible, then I would so greatly appreciate any step by step instructional advice on the above.
Kind Regards,
tea & cake

It would be much easier just to open both PowerMacs, and take the Hard Disk Drive (with OS 9.2 and all your files on it), and install it into the new PowerMac. - All it takes is a screwdriver, and its really easy in those machines :)

I work on �1 per watt per year based on UK electricity prices:
1 W * 24 hrs * 365 days = 8760 WHrs/yr = 8.76 kWHrs/yr
8.76 * �0.12 per kW/hr =~ �1 per year
So thats �1000 per year for 3 quad cores with 3 GTX 460 GPUs.
The other cost to consider is cooling if you are lucky enough to live somewhere warm enough to need aircon. You'll not only be paying to generate the heat, but also paying to pump that extra heat out.
Conversely, in cooler climates, you can save on heating costs - I've not had to turn the heating on this winter, despite december being our coldest on record!
I think I've reached my max comfortable expenditure, so I'm now focusing on optimising efficiency - a new 90%+ efficiency power supply saved 30W in one rig and I'm going to stop the GPUs soon - they each use 170W for 11k ppd whereas my complete 2600k i7 rig does 49k ppd on 220W

I'm a graphic designer and I have a great need for a beautiful, fully featured display. I read on the Buying Buide that it's approaching the end of a cycle, but I'm not really sure what's behind that. Would anyone care to shed some light on the reasons for waiting to buy one? Any rumors I should know about?
Thanks,
Chris

I went into the Irvine Spectrum store last Thursday and they had 32gigs. Picked one up on the spot. Best Buy and Radio Shack are still waiting for theirs.
Mission Viejo had 32's and 16's. I got mine a few days ago. :D I was surprised at how many they got because At least 10 people were in line ahead of me.

Why not leave it open but hide the app rather than minimising the window.
Still means that your desktop and Dock stay tidy. :)

Apparently there won't be a Quicken '08 for the Mac. It has been replaced by a new app that looks pretty slick. See the link below for more info.

Hello there!
I set up a mac mini server for my little company a few months ago and I find it to be overkill for the simple tasks I use it for. Originally I planned to setup a web hosting service, an email server and a wiki but our needs didn't grow as I expected and we found simpler alternatives.
Anyway, I am now thinking about selling it but I was wondering if it was simple to transfer the Mac OS X Server license. I can't seem to find info online on how to do this and I don't want to sell a product which won't easily be usable.
Any tips on doing this?
Thanks!

I turned on my Mac this morning and double clicked the Firefox icon but I did it twice by accident and it said "You can only open one Firefox at once" and made me click "Close" and then I was never able to reopen Firefox again

Start the bidding at $100 and see where it goes. People love original 1st and 2nd get iPods. I know I've seen some used 5GB models sell for about that and they were a little rough. Otherwise I would just recommend watching some similar ones on eBay to see what the auctions end at.

For the love of God, people: bass quantity does not equal bass quality. Also, I think it's very funny that somebody wants to get good headphones and is willing to spend a whopping 28 or 32 dollars! :o

The Optimum app was working fine for a few days when I was at home on my wireless network. As of last night I started getting an error which reads "you must be connected to your home network and signed in to watch Live TV".
Also yesterday I was finally able to connect via VPN from a wifi hot spot but got the same error message. So now I have 2 issues.
I can't connect from every wifi hotspot I try, only certain ones
I now can't connect to LIVE TV either at home or over vpn when away from home.
Is anyone else experiencing this?

Not sure why people think this is bad. Fair use if you ask me.
OTOH it's possibly open to abuse but i think it's worth the risk. I'm not overly keen on DRM stopping people doing what they like with stuff they've paid for. I wouldn't touch a DRM CD for example. All my downloads are from places that don't do DRM (and have at least 320kbps mp3 or better).

I got a deal from DreamHost that TOTALLY sounded to be good to be true. They are an awesome company, though and have the greatest support. PM me for more details.
Don't waste your time PMing someone about Dreamhost... people talk about how awesome their service is all the time and all over the web. Dreamhost is rapidly becoming very popular because they are :
1- Cheap
2- Responsive to problems and very knowledgeable
3- Offer LOTS of good stuff
4- Always giving you more good stuff (like upping bandwidth and hard disk space)

...What's the point of a hold button if it isn't physical anyway??
It could be a button such as the locking method on the 1gen shuffle...hold the play/pause button for 5 seconds or so...see the flashing led...locked. (I really don't like that lock method, but it is what it is).

Exactly. Not exactly a shocker considering the considerable price drop to some reasonable figures.
Not just the price drop, but performance improvements as well. I had an orig. MBA, and it was a piece of s***. My new MBA is a pretty nice machine. Nice enough I sold my iPad to finance it.

This is just another nail in MS's coffin...they are a zombie walking to nowhere right now, and they have no idea where to go in terms of overall corporate strategy.
The sole MS product currently needed in Macs is Office; and by the time the agreement vanishes, we'll surely have more than 2 GREAT productivity suite choices. MS shot itself in the foot when it accepted an open XML format...from then on they have nothing strictly proprietary to tie users up.
As for Vista, it's just a dead dog now. Most of its originally advertised features have been stripped away, and most serious users aren't even considering an upgrade.
MS is close to becoming a gaming rig company, and I couldn't care less.
GO APPLE!

Is Installous still going to work? It's the program for installing free{=pirated} apps
No, it doesn't work anymore. You have to pay for apps now.

I posed this on another forum and got nothing back...I'm hoping someone here knows how to remedy this problem. Thanks! :D
This is a question I've been meaning to ask for a while. My internal modem, when I first got my iBook, made the typical dial and handshake sounds when I would dial a connection. I can't remember when it stopped, but it no longer makes a sound when it is dialing.
I'm running an iBook G4 12" 1.2 GHz with 768 MB RAM.
Does this have anything to do with a modem script (I read something about this and it mentioned a modem script, but I don't think it solved the issue for the other user). I checked the settings for the modem in the Network preference pane. The radio button for Sound is set to On.
It might have happened to me after the Tiger upgrade as well. I'm not sure. Could it be a Tiger issue?
Any help anyone can provide is appreciated.
