I've been having similar probs.. I think it's (SE)is only for OS 9. Blech... We could upgrade to Omnipage Pro X which is for OS X but it's $149!!! And I'm not even 100% sure it …

My G5 2.5 dual has never exhibited any of this behavior. Strange.

It is not a fan. I don't know how to say it any more plainly.

Let us know how you make out. Forget a lot about what you know about Visual Studio. It will hold you back.

Thanks guys for the suggestions - I appreciate it. It's helpful to know some of the key differences between the Windows C++ world and Mac Obj-C ahead of time. As far as what I wan…

I tried to do the scripts you suggested and they wouldn't run. Then I realized I didn't have CHUD installed so I grabbed that and the scripts ran fine. By fine I mean they execut…

My Rev B dual 2.0 made a high pitch whine when transferring stuff over FTP on the home network but upgrading to Tiger fixed that. Go figure.

Yeah it's too bad, because they do actually dream up the right shape and appearance of their products; they're just crappy.

I'll echo the other comments here. Obj-C is refreshing compared to C++. It'll take you about 2-3 hours to get a handle on it. (Granted, I like C# and Java better, but for Mac de…

I have the same "no profile/can't calibrate" problem, and Ive reboot many times, with no effect. When I click on any of the other profiles in the list, i just get a system beep. No…

Thanks Nugget I'll give that a try. I'll look into the GeForce card you have. I'm running the 23" ACD. I ran several renders in Lightwave and did some Photoshop work and no chir…

I've got the GeForce 6800 Ultra card and WoW beautiful and smooth in 2560x1600 on my 30" cinema display with all the settings cranked to the maximum. On my old PowerBook G4 I have…

I just finished a two hour WoW session and the chirping was going on almost the whole time. Now with it closed and just Firefox up, the sound is gone. Looks like it is graphics r…

Just found this out and thought it was kind of strange. I was playing WoW and put it in windowed mode (command + M), and the chirping is not nearly as loud or as frequent in windo…
