Quark 6.5 (a free upgrade for people with 6.0) comes with QuarkVista

Huh. I stand corrected. I've been using 6.0.

I just found out about it the other night, when I was googling for an XTension that I needed. Anyway -- go get your upgrade! And tell me if QuarkVista is worth it.

Thank you all quarkistsas!

The original Airport card had a different form factor than the Airport Extreme card. An AE card just won't fit into older Macs.

What's the advantage of the original Airport card over Airport Extreme? Isn't 802.11g backwards compatible with 802.11b?

Yeah, 802.11g and 802.11b machines can coexist (if you have a 802.11g hub) but you can't use an Airport Extreme card in a Mac that was designed to only take the original one.

x-posty....

Actually, another question:

My boss is looking for a program, for macs, similar to powerpoint, but that makes newsletters.

The only thing I can find that is similar is the new iwork, but she asled me for this last week. she said I would be able to tell which one it was by the good reviews. Except for I can't find anything!

An AE card just won't fit into older Macs.

Oh, I see.

That seems like an unusually stupid design choice. Is there a technical reason the slot/card shape had to change, or is Apple just trying to force people to upgrade?

Yeah, 802.11g and 802.11b machines can coexist (if you have a 802.11g hub)

We have an 802.11b router, and it works fine.

Keynote is a component of iWork that up until yesterday was sold individually. It's a powerpoint-like app. It's now bundled with Pages, a word processor.

We have an 802.11b router, and it works fine.

Oh. Duh. Yeah, the 802.11g would then function the same as a 802.11b.

Editorial on the Mini-Mac (I prefer calling it that instead of the "Mac Mini"): [link]

This computer isn’t just about enticing “switchers”; I believe that it is also part of Apple’s drive to enter the “living room” market. Why the living room? Because that’s where we watch our movies and relax to our music.

It seems clear, after watching the development of everything that led to the release of the iTunes Music Store, that we’re witnessing a similar gradual build towards an online movie store. Notice, for example, the special emphasis that Apple keeps putting on H.264 video; it looks rather similar to the hoopla that was given to the AAC codec prior to the iTunes Music Store being unveiled.

Is it any coincidence that the Mac Mini is smaller than most video-game consoles? Make no mistake: Apple wants this computer in your living room. For proof you need look no further than the Mac Mini’s Accessories page, where an Apple DVI to S-video/composite video converter is only the 6th item listed. Look two rows below that, and you’ll see a device that gives you optical sound output through USB (the Mac Mini already has a headphone output jack on it). Four rows below that? A remote control for your Mac Mini’s media applications. Everything about this computer seems to scream “plug me in to your TV!” And all without Apple saying a word about it; just like they didn’t say a word about the iTunes Music Store.

Both my PCs have remote controls. It's a sick, sick thing. I can lie in bed, watch recorded video, and turn the computer off without getting up (and then turn on my stereo without getting up to, to play me to sleep in a timed fashion).

Sadly, I do have to get up to turn off the light. All that, and I haven't gotten around to buying a lamp for my bed.

Media+home computer=crack, and I'm barely scratching the surface.
