What iMac are you looking at, Fredo? The eMac is actually a helluva deal, if you prefer the CRT based display. 17", plus a G4...for only a little over a grand.
Pretty interesting and unbiased comparisons. Mostly relative to professional photographers, but the discussion on the article is really interesting and mostly zealot-free.
I have a G3 with OS 9.1 that I think has a lot of memory and hard drive space (can you tell I'm not too tech savvy?), yet even with a DSL hookup my internet is s-o-o s-l-o-w.....
Any ideas would be sincerely appreciated.
p.s. Want to buy a CD-RW and it seems that the "internal" ones are a lot cheaper. Is that something that would be easy to install?
It seems Apple is moving away from the desktop market for a while - which is fine - means my dual G4 won't get left in the dust for a while. I would really like a li'l laptop to compliment my G4 - the 12'' sounds cool in that respect, but man, that 17'' is beautiful.
FCE I think is going to tank. With iMovie3 and rampant piracy of FCP, there's no real market for a less-than-full editing program at that price. iLife is going to be incredible. Safari has lots of bugs, but it's damn fast.

What browser are you running? I use Netscape 4.7 on my old beige 233 G3, and it's pretty slow...especially with something like Yehoodi. The problem is probably as simple as your machine is pretty old and most sites are created by WYSIWYG editors such as (shudder) FrontPage which create overly complicated tables, etc.
Re: CD drive installation...that depends on how tech-savvy you are. Did you install the extra memory yourself? Are you good at reading directions in Korean or Japanese? Do you have tech-savvy friends? I think that Fry's and CompUSA charge 40 to install a new drive, it could easily be worth your while if there are any problems.
Of course, this is coming from someone with a mac, a PC, a PC laptop, external zip drive, external CD burner, scanner, printer, card reader, router, USB microscope, etc...
I have a G3 with OS 9.1 that I think has a lot of memory and hard drive space (can you tell I'm not too tech savvy?), yet even with a DSL hookup my internet is s-o-o s-l-o-w.....
Try bumping up the memory on your browser application. Also, make sure you have at least 1GB available on your hard drive. (but, I'm no tech expert).
I'm going to have to disagree with you. In theoryit's not difficult, especially if you're tech-savvy, however, I've seen many people attempt to install CD drives/memory/cards/etc and have great difficulties & 8212; drivers don't work the way they're supposed to; the hardware doesn't play nicely with some of the software; the connectors aren't quite compatable; etc. This is not due to lack of competance of the user.
I am VERY technically competent (I've been doing web design for over 8 years, started college as a physics major, etc) and bought an external USB drive that (supposedly) worked with Macs and PCs. My Mac is also a G3, and it's so old that it didn't have a USB connector. I bought the drive and a USB card for the Mac. I installed the USB card, dowloaded the drivers, hooked up the CD burner and had it running on the Mac in under 15 minutes.
Then I tried to install it on the PC.
While I got the burner hooked up in no time flat (plug in USB cable), I spent over four hours on the phone trying to figure out the conflict between the Burner, the PC, and Roxio EZ CD Creator. I eventually had to find different software.
Which recently stopped working.
Now I have my PC networked to my laptop and I use its CD burner.
40 would have been cheap to have gotten the burner installed so that it worked properly.
TripTheLight - Firewire is substantially faster than USB. USB (in my opinion) is insufficient for any type of mass storage. You've got those lovely Firewire ports on your Mac...take full advantage of them!
Firewire transfers data at a rate of 400 Mb/second, and USB (1.0) does it at 12. USB 2.0 is faster, but I don't recall if Macs have USB 2.0 ports anyway.
There's a nice benchmark on TechTV's website that compares the speed of the two technologies in regards to external hard drives.
I respectfully submit the problem is not the installation of the CD drive, it's the craptasticality of the PC in general, which is staggering.
I dunno - I've switched out many drives on my old PC, hard drives, burners, dvd drives, anything that used an IDE port, I've never had a problem as long as you know which drives to slave.
I'm sorry if it seemed offensive - I didn't mean to imply technological illiteracy. I still think paying anyone to install anything on a computer is a waste of money. Besides, it's like climbing a mountain - because it's there.
Steve Jobs announced a new music service from Apple to go along with the new iPod and the updated version of iTunes. The music service offers a song catalog of over 200,000 songs from the top 5 record labels. It will allow unlimited burning to CDs, and will play on up to 3 Macs. There's a catch with the burning, though. It will require you to change a playlist after 10 burns in order to burn again. Online 30-second previews are available for each song, as is cover art. The service will include artists not available in other online catalogs.
Along with the new iPods, Apple has also announced iTunes 4. The new version of iTunes, like the iPod, adds AAC support, as well as Rendezvous playlists, and the ability to access music from other Macs, including streaming capability. iTunes also has new album covers functionality. The new iTunes is now available for download.
The Apple music service will offer one-click downloads. You can use iTunes to "browse" the entire music store by genre, artist and album. Apple is offering music tracks not available anywhere else, including Bob Dylan, U2, and others.
Every song is "pristinely encoded" and some sound "better than CDs." There are free 30-second previews with every song on the service.
He said that a problem with some music services are that "they're slow as molasses and craps out halfway through." You end up "working at under minimum wage" at this rate and you're stealing, Jobs said. But Apple knows how to overcome these problems.
Apple has made deals with the big five music labels and we have over 200,000 songs available. There's unlimited CD burning for personal use only, but playlists have to be modified every 10 burns. You can play music on up to three Macs and unlimited iPods. Music authorization can be transferred from an old Mac to a new Mac. The cost will be 99 cents per song with no subscription fee.
"We think subscription service is not the right way," Jobs said. "People have always bought their music, whether or albums or CDs. Apple started work on our music store a year ago."
The disadvantages of pressplay, Rhapsody and similar services is that you have to subscribe and they "treat you like a criminal."
The pros of digital music are a vast selection, unlimited CD burning, unlimited MP3 playing, and unlimited computer playback, Jobs said. The down side is unreliable downloads, unreliable encoding, no cover art, and it's stealing, he added.
Talking about Napster, Jobs said that although shut down in 2001, "Napster showed us that the Internet was made for digital music delivery."
obs emphasized that songs were accessible to different Macs via streaming, not copying, which is "verboten." You can listen to others' music when they're around, he added.
Jobs also introduced iTunes 4, which supports AAC encoding alongside MP3 because "it sounds a lot better." Jobs said it was the "state of the art" audio codec. iTunes gets Rendezvous support, which means that iTunes can access playlists on other Macs and play by streaming. You can now save songs full encoding and do DVD archiving. You can also drag album covers into iTunes once you obtain them online.
The new customizable menu lets you activate certain features (Playlists, for example) while disabling others (the Clock or Alarm, for instance). 10GB is 299, the 15GB is 399, and 30GB is 499. They'll be available this Friday across the US and a week later internationally. The 10GB doesn't come with the docking device, but it can be purchased separately.
The Mac and Windows iPods have been combined into one device, and are no longer separate models. The new iPods have new features, including AAC decoding, and on-the-go playlists that can be built on the run, personalized main menu, an alarm clock and two new games (Solitaire and Parachute).
The new iPods are lighter and thinner than two CDs, Jobs explained. Scroll wheels have been moved atop the scroll wheel and the FireWire plug is on the bottom. Apple is also shipping the iPods with a dock. The dock also has line out for hooking iPods up to stereo systems. USB 2.0 has also been added for Windows users.
Jobs said that over 700,000 iPods have been sold since launched and that it was the number one device of its kind in the world. He compared it to the Sony Walkman. Jobs then introduced the third generation of the iPod: 10GB, 15GB, and 30GB, which can hold 7,500 songs.
Jobs explained that the "rip" in "Rip, Mix, Burn" didn't mean "rip-off" but to rip digital data off your CDs and put on hard drive to play as wanted. He replaced the words with "acquire," "manage," and "listen."
After playing the old, controversial "Rip, Mix, Burn" ad, Jobs said that iTunes became one of the most popular digital jukeboxes in the world. And iTunes led to the iPod.
I installed it last night...I must say, I dig Expos - until I played with it, I'd never really gotten an understanding of what it was (from the accounts I'd read). And now I have to say it's very awesome.
Haven't gotten a look at it yet, but it sounds AMAZING. Expose is like an answer to my prayers -- though I enjoy the drag-and-drop functionality of OSX, it's a pain in the butt to minimize all my open windows and/or move them out of the way to get to a file I downloaded onto the desktop. Yay for Panther. Now I just have to scrounge up the 125 to buy it. :-?
I'll be trying Panther tonight for the first time. My brother in law loves it. He works for a high end graphic arts company and they all made the switch over, two weeks ago. Yeah they have a connection with Apple and get all the cool stuff before anyone else.
I'll post my thoughts on it
I have to applaud Apple's speed at getting the OS to me...
I bought a new Powerbook on Thursday. That afternoon, I faxed in my Up To Date form. And the Panther CD was waiting for me in my mailbox on Monday afternoon.
It also seems that they have updated something in the QuickTime Compressor in Panther; after upgrading, encoding files to MPEG-2 (for DVD burning) is about four times faster. Zoom zoom zoom!

Great that they shipped the CD so quickly. I just ordered th 15" laptop for two clients of mine, and I have to set them up next week.
What is the deal with the Panther Install...are folks recommending installing on top of 10.2 or to do a clean install. Given the fact that the computer does not really install anything in the "system" folder, in my mind, it should not make a difference. What are your thoughts?
I went to the Apple Drive By Design show today. Panther and the Creative Suite are very cool. Now, I've got to learn InDesign and GoLive and purchase the package - under one serial number!
It is recommended you do a clean install. But if you don't want to lose your files, select "Archive and Install," and if everything works, when it's all done you delete the folder labelled "Previous System."
Panther is AWESOME. It's hella fast, Expos rules, the DVD Player is much better at decoding, and everything is just wicked efficient. The only weakness is that a lot of my favorite applications (iComic, Pro Tools, Retrospect) are not yet Panther-compatible.
In other news, I got in a minor fender bender two days ago, and the guy I hit has let me work off the money I owe him by teaching him about his brand new Mac.

Well, at least we don't have to worry about re-installing apps or the dreaded comparing control panel and extension folders any more. One nice thing about the "user" folder. he he.
But I'll tell ya, I sure do miss the days of being able to make a bootable CD easy. (in X)

My thoughts on Safari...
It's wicked-fast. For a beta, I'm enjoying it so far. Not sure if I can switch to it as my main browser from Chimera, but it's on the right track. And it IS faster...although it's certainly not feature-complete. I'm not dying for tabbed browsing (like a lot of others are), but I would like to see the ability to get properties on images from command-click.
Anyone using Safari needs to download and install the latest update, 1.0 Beta v51, which fixes the "Option Click and Wipe Your Home Directory Bug".

yes internals are pretty easy to install.
My thoughts on the new stuff -
It seems Apple is moving away from the desktop market for a while - which is fine - means my dual G4 won't get left in the dust for a while. I would really like a li'l laptop to compliment my G4 - the 12'' sounds cool in that respect, but man, that 17'' is beautiful.

The problem is probably as simple as your machine is pretty old and most sites are created by WYSIWYG editors such as (shudder) FrontPage which create overly complicated tables, etc.
You might want to try downloading Opera (http://www.opera.com/products/desktop/index.dml?platform=mac). A lot of sites will look a bit weird (because Opera enforces web standards), but it's supposed to be noticably faster.

There is no reason whatsoever to pay someone 40 bucks to install an internal drive. It is not difficult.

Okay, I've decided to get an external one. Fantom 48x12x48 -- can anyone vouch for this brand?
Now the question is: do I get Firewire or USB? (I'm almost certain my computer has Firewire capability.) What's the difference?
Also it comes with "Toast" software-- is this good?
