Well, this morning a glass of water got spilled into the pro keyboard for my G5. Brilliant maneuver right? It spilled all over the desk, all over a bunch of things. I quickly…

stupid pro keyboard dead? or stupid pro, keyboard dead? just joshin' good luck

Sigh. I don't think Applecare covers spillage. I refurbed an old pro keyboard from the G4/400 and removed the old keycaps, cleaned the mess up and put newer keys from a keyboard …

I'd wait a while longer. Maybe by Monday you will be back in business. I had an older pro keyboard that i got from a friend that barely worked due to chocolate, soda and a variety …

doubled!

So is it a "Pro Keyboard" or just "Keyboard"? (Look on the back.) G5's all shipped with the non-pro one. Anyhow, 10 hours isn't anywhere near long enough for it to dry out to the…

I second tooki's suggestion. Practically all keyboards sold today use capacity switches (including the Apple Keyboard and the Pro Keyboard) -- and water or moisture might render th…

what about pouring some silica gel into the keyboard? Maybe it'll help absorb the water sooner, and after a few days just shake the balls out

New ones are dirt cheap, even here in 'Rip Off' England. If it doesn't work after a couple of days, just buy a new one. Its no biggy.

I ended up buying one out of the refresh bin at the Apple store for $19 over the weekend. IF I'm lucky the old one might dry out enough to use it for my old G4 - it was in pret…

I've got an ML-1710. I'm quite happy with it, but the drivers have been lagging. During the years I've had this printer the driver has only updated once and is still missing a lot …

I was actually wondering about the same thing. I do have a postscript laser, so this will work for sure, but I have just gotten my photo printer yesterday. I guess I will have to…

To my surprise, the ML-1710 does work on the Intel Macs. This is fortunate, as it did not work with the developer releases. I didn't use the Samsung-USA driver though, as Samsung …

Hi, I'm new to software development so I was wondering, which programming language would be the best for Mac development, C++ or Objective-C. I will be programming in xCode, so whi…

Where should I go to learn (for the complete noob) about either one? After reading a few web pages, I kinda leaning towards Objective-C, but I can't find any that don't already req…

In either case you should really learn plain C first. But for Mac-specific programing, Objective-C is the language of choice. It has the best integration with the Mac APIs (eg, C…

Yes, Xcode will compile ANSI compliant C code.

Xcode can compile C++, Objective-C and plain old C. So you've got a compiler no matter which you go with. And yeah, a search would probably turn up better recommendations than you'…

Definitely spend most of your time learning C first. It helps to take a class in it. Then Objective-C will come easily.

Good luck making your decision. Like everyone, I agree that you should try and learn C first (or use the Cocoa bindings from a language like Python if learning C isn't your desire…
