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!
tommy, does the nano not have a built-in equalizer that needs to be turned on or off?
Oh, that might be it. Now I remember reading that iPod power consumption is higher with the EQ on. I'll have to give it a try tonight, as I have my other iPod with me.
Linksys routers vary widely by model # in terms of reliability -- if my office internet access were running at full speed, I'd look up the one I have, which has never given me any trouble. I know that the Wireless-G models have gotten worse reviews than any of the old B ones.
Looks like AOpen is going to make a Mac Mini knock-off (with Linux or Windows of course).

What's AOpen's quality like these days? Back when I worked for a VAR who was being cheap, we integrated a ton of them. They were
horrible
wrt reliability.
No idea. The only AOpen hardware I've used have been a mouse and keyboard. I don't have much interest in a computer that small anyhow, I like having all standard sized parts. Nice looking piece though.
On the low end they are only $100 cheaper than a Mac Mini, and it sounds like the Pentium M model will actually be more expensive than a Mini.
Is there a Mac utility for cleaning out disc space? Emptying FCP's Capture Scratch (and DVDSP's MPEG folder) isn't quite getting me far enough for the current project I'm working on, so I'm wondering if there's a slew of temporary files I can trash or something.
(The ideal solution would be to get permission from management to buy an external hard drive, but I need space *today*.)
Hard drive failing noises for your troubleshooting pleasure.
Anybody got any recommendations for a good cheap printer for use with an iBook?
My magenta decided that it really and truly hates me (we've been touch and go for months now)
I've got a Canon that's been quite good to me.
