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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Brother makes good, cheap laser printers. (Assuming you're just interested in B&W).

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
At this point, that might be the case. I don't print in color enough to justify the extra cost.

I've had the previous generation of this Minolta PagePro [link] for about 18 months and I'm pretty happy with it, particularly considering the price. The paper tray isn't very well designed, but it works.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I have another Access/Filemaker question:
I have students who are paying for a class, sometimes with two payments. I need to calculate, for each student, the total they have paid, and then the total they owe.
This is what I did in Filemaker:
I would create a calculation field which added them together. I could then put this on a report, and it would show me who owed what.
There doesn't seem to be an equivilent of a calculation field in Access, and I am not sure I know the right terminology to use the help.
I tried, in a report putting in a text box that said "= [Payment 1]+[Payment 2] in the details section. It doesn't show up on the report if there is anything entered in either the Payment one or the Payment 2 fields. It shows up as $0 if they haven't paid.
Any clues?
