I've had no problems with my Cinema Display. No bad or stuck pixels, mars on the screen or anything. The only two things that I've found even slight disapointment is: A) Most gam…

My cinema display is very very nice. I had not seen one in person erson before and was a little surprised to see how BIG it really is. No probems at all.

heh heh. cinema display. I haven't had a change to play with one myself, or see one in action personally, but what I did see of the cinema display was quite humorous. I'm current…

A local Mac-only dealer has a 22" Cinema Display on display. They were running DVDs and the 'Mission Impossible' trailer over and over. I was impressed by the brightness, not so …

my g3 is making noises and i am damn sure that it is the fan. not all the time but every once and awhile. do any of you have any tips on what i should do? should i take it apart an…

I'm just learning this stuff. It depends on which fan it is, and what it sounds like. I know little of the G3s, but it probably changes the rate of the fan as per the temperature …

1. Oil the fan (search the forum for a few instructions on the best way to go about this) 2. Take some compressed air ($1 from virtually anywhere) and clean out the fan and all …

Well whatever you do, DO NOT use WD-40 !, unless you want the inside of your computer to smell like an auto parts store....... If it is the case fan and NOT the power supply fan, …

I have a G4 and would like to buy the 21" flat panel monitor Apple makes. But I can find anywhere to buy it. Does any one know where I can buy it?

hi, only on the apple store, and only with a g4/agp. they're not selling it anywhere else, and supplies are limited. hope that helps, ster p.s. it's 22", btw. -s

You're not gonna be able to get it. Apple only sells it in a bundle with the top o the line G4... and since you already have a G4 it looks like you r SOL (for now). Sorry Guru

Has anyone succesfully burned CD's on the DVD-RAM drive that came with the G's? Toast 4 Deluxe does not work for me. It won't recognize a compatible drive. In addition, after upgra…

Toast 4.0 is not compatible with MacOS 9. Toast 4.0 update is supposed to resolve MacOS issues. The 4.01 update is not yet available, ------------------ Andy Pastuszak apastusza…

All currently available DVD-RAM drives CANNOT write to CD/CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD+RW. They are only good as a 5.4 GB floppy disk (and to read DVDs and CD's) that the Finder kno…

Let me see if I understand. The current DVD-RAM drive in my G4 will never be able to burn CD's (be it CD-R, CD-RW, music CD, etc.)? The full functionallity of the drive is to read …

That's essentially correct! That part about Toast 4 not working with OS 9 is debatable though. Mine works just fine. I think it has a problem mounting images but I don't use th…

I have heard reports that the Toast CD Reader will lock up while booting up. Does your CD Reader load just fine?

The Toast CD reader extension does not load on my computer (G4/OS9) either. It has a red X on it.

Toast CD Reader extension from version 3.5.7 also will not load on my G4-450mhz. I have an APS external CD-ROM Burner (Yamaha 400) and at first I could not startup the G4 with the …

Are you using OS 9?

Hi... this is an old topic, but I was wondering some of the same things as I will be buying a G4 in the next two months (unfortuntely, I don't think I can wait until July, in case …

The Que! DVD-RAM drive apparently can write CD-R as well as DVD-RAM. The built-in DVD-RAM on G4s can NOT write CD-R disks. It can read just about any format though. The Finder us…

MacAddict reviewed the Que! CD-R drive as an absolute piece of crap. The problem was the driver/other software that kept crashing the test machine. Any comments? Same for DVD-RA…

Try re-reading my post. The CD-R is a different piece of hardware. I eval'd a Que! CD-R and it does suck, but you're comparing apples and oranges. Scott

That's what I was hoping! Thanks!
