Macs that have AGP graphics can boot from Mass Storage compliant USB devices, and from FireWire devices. Mac OS is bootable from USB and FireWire. Whether any of the Linux bootlo…

Well I don't know about usb booting Linux on Apple hardware but on a PC I find it interesting that you can boot a whole operating system, with web browser, ftp client, emial client…

I just got an iBook so that I can bring my laptop to school and use this for all my school work. When I come home I want to be able to print off the printer I have for my PC Deskt…

Turn on Printer Sharing on your PC desktop. It will need to be the print server so that both computers can print to it. (I'm assuming you don't have a networked printer)

First: you are not looking at networking... it sounds like you already have your network set up. You are looking to share a printer over a network. Common misnomer. Second: this h…

I apologize for not taking the time to search for other topics and I tried using those two pages that you provided but I'm still having a problem. I installed the driver. But I'm…

Aside from the fact that the 1Gig version provides excellent bang-per-buck purely as a flash drive, it will probably become an excellent marketing/merchandising tool. Finally Appl…

My wife's cousin needed to get a flash drive for school. I told her that Apple just came out with a 512 MB or 1 GB iPod that CAN BE USED AS A FLASH DRIVE for $99 and $149, respect…

Your words say no, but your eyes say yes! Give it up Think and move to the darkside!

Not only is this a marketing gem for Apple but for other companies as well. Say if you want to give one to a good customer or as a promotion or other such things. They are inexpe…

I wonder how many people will be going in looking to purchase a $99 iPod shuffle and walking out with a iPod mini or a full blown iPod?

Yes, I'm going to buy two! A 1GB plus a Photo iPod, 'cause I need that Playboy mag subscription! ;^) But if I break down and get a Mini instead, would it do the same type of synch…

Wow, I was right (for once)! Apple are already giving them away free. Check this out: http://www.appleinsider.com/article.php?id=847

Does anyone know if there are USB 2.0 hubs that connect to your computer via Firewire. I have USB 1.1 as well and I've just ordered a 1gig shuffle. I'm thinking it's gonna take for…

No, no such thing exists. And if someone made it, the drivers would probably be a nightmare. If you have a Power Mac, at least you can add a PCI USB 2 card for cheap. tooki

USB 1.1 is relatively snappy. I use it to put files on my flash drive all the time and it doesn't keep you waiting TOO long.

I don't know if this would be a true test of the transfer speed but here is what I came up with: I used a PNY 256MB flash drive and filled it up with MP3s by drag and drop. It too…
