Again, I'd be really interested to see Windows reroute the connections so transparently, Steve. If it's as smooth as you claim it is that would be one area in which Windows is clea…

Steve, when you're doing that with Windows, it actually IS reconnecting. It's not doing an on-the-fly switch. When it detects that the old interface/connection is no longer availab…

I am not saying that with a windows box you can start transferring a file over wireless, plug in a network cable and it speeds up. I am saying that I can log into a windows domain…

Ahh, okay. That's a clearer explanation. In this case, you're correct. Finder's handling of lost connections is very poor. Most of the time, Explorer isn't all that much better, b…

Seeing as how Apple's marketing speak implies OSX should do this, does anyone have any experience of this ever working?

What kind of machine are you using?

Finder is still a POS when it comes to lost network connections. It completely freezes for about a minute until it pops up the "OMG THIS DRIVE IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE!1!!!1" dialog.

If it was the Finder relaunching the Finder should cure it. It doesn't. Something that's communicating with the Finder is allowing it to happen while the Finder doesn't allow any s…

does anyone know if the new final cut universal version that's about to come out will work with the older g5 macs? or do i have to have a brand new intel based mac? i'm assuming …

Yes, it will work on G5 Macs (and probably G4s too).

This is why they're called "universal" binaries.

Universal Binary means by definition that you can use the application on PowerPC-based and Intel-based Macs at the same time.

I'm getting a G3 iBook 900 with the RAM maxed (640MB). I'll mostly be using it for school, but there are some other apps I'd really like to run. Can anyone let me know if these s…

You can put a SuperDrive in it. http://www.mcetech.com/ibg3dvdr8dl.html It will run Tiger without any issues and Quake 3 should be ok since it has a 32MB video card. The other …

Congrats on the new iBook! You'll love it You can definitely put Tiger on it. I had Tiger on a 500 MHz G3 iBook and it ran fine. If you don't like memory-heavy things like Dashb…

Another quick question. My girlfriend has a brand new iBook G4 which came with Tiger installed. Can I user her boot disks to put Tiger on my iBook G3?

Although I've never actually tried, I think you are able to...you should be able to pop in the DVD and upgrade Panther to Tiger if that's what you want to do.

I have a 1GHz Ti and am trying to connect to our WLAN at school. We just got a brand new Cisco key server which oversees the connects to the base stations, and requires both LEAP &…

Recently migrated to an iMac G5 from an old ibook G3. Didn't use migration assitant but installed everything on the new machine from scratch. However I've been having some proble…

It doesn't matter what I print, or what Mac I use to do it, printing even the most simple of documents uses a huge amount of the CPU capacity. On my home iMac G4 it virtually alway…

What kind of printer do you have? Cheap printers and pretty much all inkjet printers currently available use `host-based printing' which means the host (your computer) has to do …
