I'm not sure if you've already done this, but if you have your camera hooked up through firewire to the Mac and the camera hooked up to the monitor through S-Video, you already hav…

hmm. Well I am fairly sure that Sony Vegas has the ability to fullscreen preview on external monitor, and I'm damned if Vegas beat FCP to that feature... Go ahead and look for it i…

Ah! Handy. So let's say if when I'm in Final Cut, is there a way to have just the canvas appear full screen on the monitor (maybe via a menu command) or do I just have to stretc…

Apple DVI to video adapter $19. the end.

I picked up a monitor to keep track of video edits and graphics. I have it connected through an S video cable to my camera, which is easy enough. I'd like to set it up so that …

How do we install it? Thanks in advance!! MacStef

PCSX2 ( http://www.pcsx2.net/ ) will likely be the best but I don't think it hasn't been ported to the Mac yet. Someone recently ported PCSX1 though so maybe one day. I don't know …

How about a G3 iBook starting at $399.00 at TechRestore? [Update]: They are "Restored" which is explained below. Quote: What condition is the system in and what does Restored…

Well, how much is your upper limit? That would be really helpful. If you really only want to use BSD, why get an Apple laptop at all? I'm sure you could get a workable x86 laptop a…

Pismo G3 500MHz It had a 1MB cache which went a long way towards making it "snappy" and I would think you could just type on it forever. It's also a complete legend in every way. …
