Thanks for the extra info, very helpful. analogika, it took me a while to figure out what you meant in your first post. If I understand correctly, if I turn off automatic updating…

If you are comfortable with command line, try using ffmpeg, which you can find athttp://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net/index.php There is another online tool at http://www.video4ipod.org…

I believe you may have misunderstood what analogika posted. If you set our iPod to manually update, add videos onto it, then start automatically updating again, you WILL lose anyth…

For old Macs with limited RAM/Processor speed, which Web/Email apps are best? I'm running a Wallstreet with 256MB RAM, OS 10.4.4 Firefox seems to use 10mb less RAM but slightly mo…

Mutt and Pine (the only two text-based email clients I can think of) both support IMAP and Gmail (which is just POP3).

And for older Macs running older System / Mac OS versions you can rely on the iCab browser.

redhot, how in the world did you get Tiger to run on a Wallstreet? Isn't that essentially impossible?

Camino could be a good choice of browser to use, Gmail works well in it too if you don't mind using the web interface.

I wrote extensively about my experiences installing Tiger on a Wallstreet. I think Tiger is the best OS for these old machines, bar none. As for which browser to use on a Wallstr…

Since you're running Tiger it's not a big deal, but one thing to consider is that ealier versions of OS X came with earlier versions of Safari, which are obviously not as widely co…

That's really amazing. . . If so many are running Tiger well on their Wallstreets, it really inspires me to get a larger drive for my iBook 466 and upgrade to Tiger as well.

Yes, I honestly believe that many people put way too much emphasis on "needing" a faster (re: newer = more $$$) machine in order to run their everyday software efficiently. I purc…

I agree. Mhz is not everything. I usually get 6-8 years out of each Mac i buy (been using them since 1984, and Apple ][’s since 1979). I still have some Quadra 605’s running Ope…

I have been using the G3-optimized version of Deerpark on my Pismo. After reinstalling the OS (had to partition the drive to put Ubuntu on there) I didn't find any speed difference…

I'm working on an app that accesses PostreSQL data (Cocoa/ObjC). I'm not using anybody's framework, I more or less used postgres' C lib and wrote my own class to access the data. T…

Yeah, it seems to me that you want to have your class examine the type of the table column and handle conversion to NSDate or NSNumber, etc.

I've put it on the back burner for now, but I do believe that I'm going to have to do some conversions in order to get the sort working. Connecting to the db server for each sort i…

You probably have install discs for 10.3.9 right? You could install it on a separate partition or a disc image and use an emulator/virtual machine to get it booted and review the p…
