Early ,'Objects In Space'
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!
Oh, thank you so much HiddenSky! Unfortunately, that remote doesn't control the DVD player, and since that's the one remote that we actually don't have...
It does have a DVD button (it's a combined DVD/AUX) or do you mean you've tried a similar remote before and it's incompatible with your DVD player?
Your Mac Mini may already be a PC: [link]
I'd agree that that for the same form factor, the Mini is price competitive. But if the form factor isn't important, you can get a far more powerful PC with a much faster processor, more memory, and much more hard drive space. I can't see a reason for Apple to release OSX for PCs though. A good part of what makes Macs special is the hardware/OS integration. If OSX has to support all the variations in the PC world then it detract from the user experience.
On one of the Mac sites I was recommending last week, there's a really good essay explaining why Apple is not going to make Mac OS X available to other manufacturer's PCs.

If you want a TiVo with a lifetime subscription, do it NOW.
As of 4/15, TiVo will no longer sell lifetime subscriptions.
What's the best way to add USB ports to a G5? It seems like the most space-saving way would be through one of the PCI slots, but the reviews here make me very suspicious of the workability.
How about this one? [link]
What vintage G5 is it? If it's a new one then you have to use PCIe cards, which are not backwards compatible and which make getting cards kind of a pain.
What vintage G5 is it?
I bought it last May, so it's almost exactly a year old.
