Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Anyone recommend a good file-comparison program for Windows? Just something that can compare two text files and highlight the differences in an obvious and clear way.
The Mac OS X Developer Tools has an excellent program callled FileMerge. I like it so much I bring my iBook to work sometimes so I can use it there.
eta: Word can do this, but I don't like the way it illustrates the differences.
tommy, I use UltraEdit as a file editor, and it has an UltraCompareLite component to compare two open documents. I've never used the full product.
I use Araxis Merge and find it pretty comparable to FileMerge.
tommy, Word does that for word docs...which should work on text files.

Yeah, I've used Word to compare text files; I just don't like the way the comparison is presented. (I prefer the two files to be side-by-side, like the Mac FileMerge does. With Word, I have a hard time keeping straight which file the underlined stuff belongs to, and which file the crossed-out stuff belongs to.)

My iBook is ordered! 14", combo drive, standard factory specs (1.33 GHz processor, 60 GB hard drive, 256 crummy MB of RAM, etc.).
::bounce, bounce::
I'm hoping it'll be delivered by Friday.
Yay! iBooks rule!
now just increase your RAM...
Dude, I am SO increasing my RAM, but not through Apple. They charge so much for RAM that I would expect it to be magic pixie-dust RAM.
What's the max RAM on an iBook these days? (I have the last of the G3 iBooks - my RAM is maxed out at 640 Gig.)
I know I could look it up at apple.com, but more fun to ask here....
