No, working for $9 an hour and having to spend half of that for gas is not worth it. Perhaps Apple will eventually build a store near you, then you can work for them. :)
the closest apple store to me is 3 1/2 hours away:(

This is most likely a usb hub, or cable problem. take everything off the usb port restart, shut down hook up the keyboard and a different mouse (USB 2} and the usb sound card (usb1} only start up. see what happens and ofcourse see if you can reinstall the ame 2/6 drivers if you still get the noise there maybe electronic interference { tv, phone airport, monitor, speakers, too many plugs in the surge, or you may just need a PCI USB card.
Good Luck:) Cubase SX almost HERE!!

It's a very good device, and I'd be overjoyed if the iPod came with Bluetooth (wait, no I wouldn't, because then I won't be able to use it wih MY iPod!! :D )
Uhhhh....I hope you know that you shouldn't be using your mobile phone while pumping gas....because the pump could explode!!!
Here in Vegas, we have signs next to the pumps!!!
Just to let ya know.;)

I thought he said JDK 1.4...
In any case, I'm sure he was asking about Java version 1.4, which is the current version. Hopefully it will be available soon for Mac OS X.
Jaguar ships with Java version 1.3.1.
Is it just me, or does there appear to be a lot of color variation in the front panel sections on the various Xserves?

I personally have little idea what to expect in the coming months. I love all the rumors and BS bouncing back & forth about modified 2GHz Power4s, 1.6GHz G5s, etc., but I really expect nothing more than the modest improvements we see in the Mac line every 6 months.
What I am hoping for in the next series of upgrades (hopefully within the next 6 months) are
> full support for DDR-RAM,
> firewire b (looooong overdue), and
> more than a 200MHz increase for the CPU in the next round of powerbooks.
And from Mac developers,
> >500MHz G4 upgrades for B&Ws (this is getting really tiring).
This is all I can think of at the moment.

Voted for IV, but it's really II. Golbez was the Best Villian Ever. He's big, he engages you in fights you can't win (well used in this game), and drops Meteo on you. Plus, cool theme music.
Kefka poisoned an entire town in FFVI.
Kefka was a useless, giggling fop. Golbez was behind some real genocide (Mist, Damcyan, Fabul, Mysidia, Eblan - wow, lots of towns got wrecked in that game!)
In fairness to Sephiroth (screw Aeris), he did also destroy your town, kill Tifa's dad, and get within inches of dropping a killer meteor on the whole planet.
The day I went to Funcoland and traded in my SNES FF 3 cart for almost the whole cost of a new copy of Xenogears - best move ever. Game just dragged after the World of Ruin.

The G4MX is a fine card I have it in my new Dual/Ghz/DDR it was $100 less then the ATI9000. There is a big but here though. If you want to run the latest upcoming and greatest games you will want to upgrade in the future. That is why I got the G4MX in the first place because I plan on upgrading to the ATI9700 or the nVidia GeForce5 when it comes out. Either of these new cards will cary with it a ton of ram, all sorts of hardware lighting and texturing and will also be about 4x faster then the G4MX.

I'm not sure if this is true, but i herd a rumor that Apple is probably going to Discontinue the Powerbook Ti line. The reason is because its a pain in the ass to manufacture them and not enough people buy them. I hope this is just a RUMOR and NOT TRUE

I wanted a TiBook for the longest time, but nothing has come through the pipe that I liked. The last revision was the closest to what I would have expected a year ago. Don't get me wrong, I like the Ti for it's looks and size, but at that price point, I expect something that will just blow the upgraded Pismo away.
Flame away.

I'm with you gus. When the Ti Books came out, I saw a chance to get a great Pbook for cheap, so I got a 400MHz Pismo because my ma had good luck with her Lombard. I didn't think the 1st Gen Tis were anything worth bragging about, and I figured the Pismo would do me well. It had the same specs, same innards, just G4's, a larger/wider screen, and no drive bay. Plus The Pismo had an upgradable processor, which the Ti didn't. I had the 500 MHz G4 put in as soon as I heard it was out. I never regreted doing it. I'm so pleased. Granted I'm not a graphics designer or anything like that.

I disagree that the segment of the market that drives CPU speed lust is growing smaller. When it comes to computer speed, "perceived value" rules the marketplace, not real computing power being continuously employed by the end user. Here are two automotive analogies:
SUVs: I live in suburban Chicago where 4WD Lexus, BMW, and Mercedes driven by the affluent can be seen on nearly every street. I bet the average usage of 4WD systems to get these people out of a jam occurs maybe once or twice a year. Yes we have harsh winters, but the roads are plowed and sanded/salted as necessary. There is absolutely NO NEED for that kind of performance.
SPORTS CARS: I also see Posche 911s all over the place. Beautiful car that can go from 0-60 in less than five seconds. Top speed of 150 mph. NO ONE can even BEGIN to employ this kind of brute force in the city. You would have to drive to Montana to open the thing up.
In both cases, the bragged upon features are essentially useless to the owner 95+% of the time. But people still buy SUVs and sporty cars in DROVES.
If you are running FCP3, doing audio engineeering, or doing tons of high-end Photoshop rendering work, a powerful computer might lead to productivity increases. Then yearly upgrades are probably a must, as the money you spend on the latest system is actually recouped in increased productivity.
Most of us, however, tap the full strength of our CPUs rarely, and having durable hardware with a stable OS is far more important than a slightly faster system. Heck, I am typing this on my G3/400 Pismo which is my sole computer, and while I will someday do the NewerTech G4/500 upgrade, I am not "suffering" the way it is. I don't know what a "snappy" OS is, but I do know that OS X 10.1.5 seems to be every bit as fast as OS9 was/is, just as stable, and now utterly crash-proof.
I am in a band and my bass player (who engineers our material) wants to get a Mac. I have told him that he should get two: a 12.1 iBook now (best computing value on the planet right now, $ per feature, IMHO) and wait a year for a new tower once the new chips come out. 90% of everything he'll ever do will be easily done by the iBook (WP, web, email, finance, database/spreadsheet, etc., plus it's portable) and the heavy lifting of recording, mixing and mastering up to 48 tracks of 24bit/96khz audio (complete with lots of plug-ins) can be done by the next generation of Macs. The only reason I would ever suggest he wait is that current Macs don't have the raw power to run MOTU's DP @24/96 for 48 tracks w/plug-ins.
But that is a case of actually using close to 100% of system resources to accomplish the task for which you bought the thing. Once he acquires the system, he won't need a new one for years--if EVER. Once your system can do everything you ask it to, reliably, you don't NEED a new computer--EVER.
This discussion is rarely about "need," however. It's about gear lust.
EDIT: Oh, and if your primary system draw is from some GAME (insert your favorite title here), why not just get a dedicated gaming system instead of making your computer a toy?

Why are they going to such pains to AltiVec-ize everything?
And why did they discontinue Logic for x86?
I can't understand why they wouldn't opt for that Power4 variant (if the recent rumor is to believed, which I don't think it is). It seems like the perfect chip for Apple.

In other words if i am more productive on my mac then it doesnt matter that it might be a little 'slower' it is a faster machine because i can work faster. End of story. New Thread.
