unfortunately coverflow seems to cripple my system whenever I start it up - I don't think it's particularly memory secure! I have a 1GHz TiBook with 512Mb Ram - not amazing but st…

That looks really cool, but even if you COULD do that with a thousand or more titles (memory issues aside), would you really want to?

performance shouldn't be the issue, as it handles the 1329 albums in my iTunes collection quite well. (although on a brand new iMac). but interface-wise while the metaphore makes …

Agreed. For CD art it looks pretty spectacular and a great way to choose your music. I can't see a need to access book info that way. Coverflow's great for what it is--I hope he ke…

We've been using Visioneer's Paperport VX to store documents in a database (4D) through Paperport deluxe. Now that we're upgrading everyone to iMacs, we have a problem. Since USB t…

I don't know who told you that USB to SCSI adapters don't work if you have only one device on the chain. I am using a 2G Jaz drive on my iMac DV. Works great.

USB to SCSI adaptors only work if the item on the chain provides termination power. Your Jaz drive does. The paperport VX scanner from visioneer does not. The only way to add termi…

Can you get an adapter to put on the end of the SCSI connecter of the scanner?

You don't have to go and get new scanners. The USB to SCSI adapter from Second Wave called SCUSBee works with the scanner being the lone device in the chain. In my opinion, this is…

I have a bunch of 8 mm home movies that my dad made when i was little. Is there any way to convert them to DVD short of videotaping them as they are shown on a screen?

I got several of our old, silent 8mm movies done here 2.5 years ago: http://www.homemoviedepot.com/ I highly recommend it. If you have iMovie and iDVD, you may want to consider …

Buy a movie scanner, use it, then sell it on ebay.

I'm gearing up to send some less important 8mm movies to http://www.homemoviedepot.com/ as a test. They seem to have the best combo of quality and price that I could find. Especial…

Well, who would have thunk it, a brand-spanking new version of Yahoo messenger that claims to have multi-platform webcam support (think the old had too, but it was rubbish), and is…

Oooh, goes to look... the only thing i'd use it for is webcam support. I thought Yahoo for Mac was a lost cause, obviously not. Yahoo 3 took 3 years though - ironic.

Screenshots of new UI and dock icon please

Did anybody try the webcam support? The UI looks nice, lightyears ahead of the last version (which I still use on occasion).

What advantage does this have over iChat?

It looks nice, but there don't seem to be any new features. As far as I can tell there is still no audio.

MU has a screenshot http://macupdate.com/screenshot.php?id=3845 Looks kinda like the bastard child of iChat and MSN Messenger. I don't use Yahoo IM (aside from /very/ occasional u…

VersionTracker Entry: "Coming soon: IM with friends that use Windows Live (MSN) Messenger"

Yeah it has Growl support. Beside the webcam stuff the yahoo avatars are displayed when used. I haven't seen any real customization options, on adium u can really personalize your …
