Good work!
I myself am about to help another friend return to the folds.
She used to use a Mac years ago I believe, and I've been re-educating her over the past few weeks. She i believe is now keen to buy a Powerbook!
Only dilemma for me is to decide whether to help her buy a refurb or new one!
I hope that she will be successful with the purchase. The refurb is a good deal for those that want to save some money.

The other posters are more diplomatic than me, but the adjectives say it all: "nice", mostly. Check out professional photography in those areas that interest you - landscape, wildlife, by the look of it - and see what top-class work looks like. And they get that quality of shot week in week out: so not only excellent, but consistently excellent.
You need to tighten up on all aspects of your photography, and put 'pro' thoughts to one side until you can meet that quality threshold. Read books, I'd say, and online tutorials, and learn from shooting and being hyper-critical of your own work...

Ive have 2 Lacie Porsche drives and they both seem great. One 80gb and one 250gb. If you are only planning to use the external for backup storage then i think the porsche would be perfect cause there is no fan. but if you plan on using the external for extensive rendering and etc. then the D2 would be better.

eyelike art is still around, ambitiouslemon is on sabatical, kela posted last in April, spikey might be around under a different name, he hasn't been seen in quite some time, and blakespot is off doing his own thing, although I think he still helps arn with the site.
I don't fall under the 'old skool' banner, but I've been around longer than most these days. But maybe you should try a reunion thread, only for anyone who's of a certain age.

Ok so do you guys think they would increase the amount of batteries in the keyboard?
I'm aware that it wouldn't be a very apple thing to do, but what do you think?

Well, if this is what microsoft's planning in 5 years, i'm anxiously awaiting what Apple will be doing :) i picture full-immersion 3D computer systems that are too abstract for us to imagine right now... every single part of our brain being used and interacting...
well maybe this is 10 or 15 years off... but i don't know, advances come in leaps and bounds...

Not to be pedantic, just ignorant:
I understand that the punctuation marks go inside the quotes (um, not parentheses... maybe you do need him ;)) when part of a quotational reply. However, when used to mark a single word or phrase, it seems as though contemporary "correct" usage allows for the quoted word/phrase to be used as an indivisible object, meaning punctuation would go outside.
But, hey, I'm a programmer geek. I'm happy just to be able to communicate at all.
AP says no. :D

Ugh, I just bought CleanMyMac. Could you elaborate more why these products are bad to use? Thanks
AppZapper, AppCleaner, CleanApp, TrashMe, and similar apps do not do a thorough job of removing all files/folders related to deleted apps. I tested several of these, using Skype as the app to be removed. Of 17 items to be removed:
AppZapper missed 13 items
AppCleaner missed 11 items
AppDelete missed 8 items
Hazel missed 9 items
I also tested AppTrap, CleanMyMac and a few others, but don't recall how many items they missed. All left files/folders behind. In most cases, they remove .plist files and a few others, but leave behind much larger files and folders. (you will find a discussion of these tests in the thread linked below)
One app that I would not recommend, based on the number of complaints that have been posted in this forum and elsewhere, is CleanMyMac. As an example: CleanMyMac cleaned too much (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=709930)

Tell us how you go
Unfortunately, our head of service just went on holiday for a couple of weeks which puts me in his shoes, ie. no one else for me to ask the specific details of the fix

i second the jbl creatures, i have a set of the silver ones and the sound quality is really good.
I also have a set of JBL Creatures, but I wouldn't say the sound quality is really good. They are very good for the price, and I do love them to bits but they don't cope very well at high volume (like, Maximum).
They are fine for a bedroom, but I don't think they have enough 'in hand' to be loud in a large room. I am fussy, but I get some distortion when listening to them very loud. Great for gaming and mp3, but not for listening to classical music or hard-house up high.
They look superb, though :)

@Topic, it looks horrible if not run at native res.
Damn, stupid typo :p This happens when you type and think something else at the same time.
Um... no...
My 27" looks great @ 1920x1080...
In games, you can't tell the difference.
Games are a bit different but if you run the desktop or other apps at 1920x1080, it won't look great. Even in games, I'm sure you can notice a difference if you are honest.

Hoo boy.
There is no such thing as a Zip or a Jaz drive that comes native with Firewire, or USB 2.0. (theoretically, someone may have put an IDE drive into a Firewire box, but I don't know if the drivers would support that.)
The iomega Zip is a flexible vinyl disk cartridge, and came in two versions, 100 Mb and 250 Mb. Althought the 250 can read and write 100 Mb cartridges it is deadly slow doing so. Zip drives came in Internal and External SCSI-1, external parallel (PC) interface, internal ATA and IDE (the early ATA internals are not Mac compatible) and external USB-1. External Zip drives only have one interface -- Either SCSI OR USB, not both.
The iomega Jaz is a hard-platter disk cartridge and came in two versions, a 1 Gb and a 2 Gb. Most Jaz drives are external, and have a SCSI-2 connector (high density) I have never seen a USB Jaz. Zip and Jaz are completely incompatible with each other.
The SyQuest EZFlyer 3.5" hard-platter cartridge drive (135 Mb and 230 Mb versions) are completely different from the Zip and Jaz, as are the SyQuest 5.25" 44, 88 and 200 Mb drive, the first 3.5" SyQuest (200 Mb?) and the SyJet 1.5 Gb drive - There was one other SyQuest product - Shark? Sharq? 1 Gb - which was only ever released in a PC version as far as I remember.
The imation 120 Mb Superfloppy is incompatible with Zip, it used special 3.5" floppy disks but could also read 1.44 3.5" floppies - most of the time.
The Castlewood Orb drive was a hard disk cartridge drive similar to the Jaz and SyJet which the blank media was never available for, and it died an ignominious death.

I mean, yeah, but it's not worth worrying about. Maybe if you reformat 10 times a day...but how many times are you really going to do it...
You could argue that opening and closing your Macintosh HD could create more wear and tear on the HD than letting it sit.
On the iMac, you can replace the HD though, so if worst comes to worst, and it's out of warranty, you can just but a new one.

Really? We still use it (just for fun). There's some neat programs on it, etc. The printer still works, too. :)
you asked ... how much will it be worth one day?
my answer still stands ... it is not rare or anything special ... sorry, not looking to offend.
Now if it was brand new ... originally sealed in a box ... maybe :cool:

Hello, I would appreciate your help in order to save me from infinite pain:
So, my girlfriend's iPod has decided to ruin my life by deleting (hopefully hiding) all of her many (many) photos saved in her iPod. Naturally, she has gone all crazy and evil on me.
I was the last to use it, so, naturally, she's blaming me. However, I honestly have no idea what has happened. This is the case:
1) Apparently she had many (many) pictures/photos saved in her iPod.
2) I used the iPod a few days ago to add/save some new songs. THAT'S ALL I DID.
3) She went through her iPod yesterday and realized that the pictures were gone. On top of that, they were replaced randomly by some pictures taken from Photo Booth and 3 others saved in our MacBookPro.
4) She exploded. To make matters worse, all of the "new" pictures that are suddenly there replacing the old ones feature my face and a few things that are mine. She originally thought I added them there myself because they are mostly pictures of me.
5) Today, while trying to fix this problem, I discovered that these "new" albums/pictures of mine that replaced the other ones in her iPod have been there since 2009 (on Iphoto, I mean)! All this pics can only be viewed through iPhoto. I've tried to "open" the iPod in every way in order to search for any hidden photos or material that could still be there.
The random albums (that I have no idea how they got there in the first place) date: 1) October 2009 2) February 2010 3) August 2010 and 4) March 28, 2011.
Why has this happened? How can we fix this?
1) She says she didn't delete or move her pictures at all.
2) I haven't that done either. I only copied a music cd in the ipod.
3) Why are those random pictures all of the sudden saved in the iPhoto AND directly in her iPod? Neither of us did that. The pictures have been saved there since forever (2009). But, what does that have to do with disappearing/deleting many (many) pictures in the iPod?
Please help me. Is there any way to get them back? I've tried to search the ipod for pics, but, all it says is that there are 26 available photos which are the random ones that replaced all the many (many) others she had.
Ugh.

there is a place here in Portland called Everyday Music, and I have found some amazing deals for like $1. I picked up U2s' Joshua Tree for $2 and "The Sundays - Blind" for $1!! Now I am just looking for Trembling Blue Stars for a smokin deal!
