Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Nope -- the profiles live in a different place entirely (presumably so that you can keep your settings when you upgrade).
I think it's so you can have multiple profiles for multiple users on the same computer. (At least that's how it works in Linux and OS X.)

tommyrot, I'll get you halfway there [link]
Not sure about the dual monitor business after that.
Edit: I think I'm misunderstanding your desired setup... nebbermind.
Edit2: Here is what you're looking for, methinks.

Oh, I should have tried Froogle in the first place. If I Froogle "kvm dual monitors" I find a bunch of stuff....

I've used analog and digital connections to LCD monitors and the DVI connection does make a difference. With an analog connection you can get odd moire patterns in the display and I've also noted jitter on more than a few of my 15" LCD's that have analog VGA connections (I've got around 6 of them from different manufacturers). The DVI connected ones have experienced none of these problems. I've got two 17" DVI's and two Apple 20" Cinema DVI displays.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Which reminds me. I've upgraded my old 7600 g3/300 to a Umax s900 (9600 Mac) with a g3/333. (Thanks ND!)
The problem is I have no video card that is compatable with OSX. Every single card I have (okay three) is okay in os9, but will not boot (using XpostFacto) to OSX.
It worked fine with the 7600's old built-in video, but now? nada. I used all settings in XPF, too.
Anyway, I need a cheap or used video card that will work in this until I can afford an upgrade.
If anyone has an old Mac PCI video card they would like to donate/sell, let me know at dcjensen at gmail dot com. I don't want to invest much more in this Machine, as I hope to buy something modern within the year. (Crossed fingers).
Anyway, lets see what you got, Buffistas! heh.

The TiVo 7.2 beta is finished, it seems. Desktop 2.2 is out, and I can only hope they're pushing the 7.2 updates speedily.

I need printer recommendations. I'm interested in a laser, but...I'm wondering if the price is prohibitive. I have an oldish compaq all-in-one printer right now and it is okay, but it isn't very quick printing.
I would love a legit copier/printer combo that didn't look too ugly.
Anyway, I looked around the internet for an hour+ and I can't find any good recommendations.
