Pages on my G4 ibook and even on my G5 dual 2ghz with a gig of ram is ridiculously slow - like molasses. If this spreadsheet program is this slow I will never use it.
I will give double emphasis on that!!
I tried to produce a nice document in pages for a set of astronomical objects in a viewing manual. It is roughly 55 pages long and includes 110 different figures.
It was an absolute nightmare to put together! I spent days locking, unlocking, moving, re-organizing, trying to get pages to do some of the simplest of tasks properly.
In the end, I have a nice looking document that takes literally 5 mins to open, 10 secs to scroll a page, and I am afraid to touch it, to edit it, as it might "explode" if I do.
I have a PB G4 17in. 1.67Ghz, 1 GB ram.
I really know that most of the people here are mac fanatics when they actually endorse "Pages". It is the slowest, worst, piece of cr*p Apple ever produced. I have the UB iWork 06 version now and it still sucks!
I like keynote but it still lags in presentation features behind powerpoint. It is also a problem to interact with the 99% of business users out there who use PP. I know that it exports to PP and I know it goes to pdf, QT, etc. But you have to actually perform these operations with an actual group of business users to realize the probelms it presents.
9 times out of 10, exporting to PP screws up everything but the most elemental of slide shows. QT exports don't quite look presentation quality, are dificult to interactivily control, and generate huge files that are difficult to email.Exporting to PDF, makes static slides, and is more for printing than for presentation. There is no free Keynote client for windows and mac users like there is for PP.
All in all, iwork , (still a cheap name), is not ready for primetime. It is OK to experiment with, play with, and to generate simple documents. But it is not any kind of a replacement for the professional who works in an integrated MS office environment.

I'm actually interested in the charging capability only. I've got an old original iphone in my glove box with an Audi cable input that runs the ipod function and contains my source music. I use my iphone 4 as a phone only and it runs in the car on bluetooth through the same system.
All I need is a neat, clean looking solution for the phone to keep it secure, eye handy and charged.
Thanks, again.

yeah folding can cost quite a bit when you have a lot of systems in one house folding. this summer my numbers will go down b/c of the heat around here

Here's a fixed version for you.
DropBoxed File (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1317651/easter1%20edit.jpg)
While the cameras flash did go off, it couldn't overpower the sun and remove the shadows so I just cloned them out. Hope this helps.
Thanks so much! I owe you big time. Have a great week!

Talked to security yesterday. They said we aren't allowed to form a line until 10pm. Though they said 4:00 for the iPhone launch and they started walking us in at 1:00.
A line can't be formed until 10 PM or 10 AM?

Haha, yeah it could! I'm running my girlfriend's Dual 2.0GHz G5 on it right now. I'd use my PowerBook but it's only hooked up online every once in a while.
You don't need to be online to Fold. The only time you need to go online is to dl/ul work units. My PB 1.33 runs 24/7 Folding.

That's for the advice! I may try Crucial or OWC which looks like they guarantee Apple compatibility. I guess the Corsair's should work fine in a standard laptop.
I'de call Corsair first and see what they think. Perhaps it is bad RAM and they will replace it. If you decide to get OWC or Crucial and are not in a hurry, wait a little while and monitor the price as they go on sale. You can get some memory, like G Skill, for around $60, which most members here seem to love.

Isn't the graph misleading? Is it 400 thousand units or 400 million units?
Easy now...
It says "Thousands of Units and Dollars" so it's just over 400 Thousand Units at a mere 550 Dollars... :eek:

Could it be that Apple is going to release this new video iPod after Zune so it can steal MS's thunder?....

Interesting indeed, I would love for the two companies to be in bed together... Interesting things for consumers might result. I see T-Mobile as a fresh alternative to Cingular... Plus, T-Mobile could use better designed phones, who better to hook them up with some Innovative ideas?;)

I don't own one but I have thought about picking one up to try out that UFC Trainer game. It seems like it would be a good workout.
Just take a good look at the reviews for how well the system picks up your body movements. My gf got "The Biggest Loser" game which I advised against cause of the reviews, but sure enough, the Kinect doesn't see your movements when you're on the ground very well (amongst a number of interface flaws). And thus, the game got used one time, and one time only.

Okay, here is an update:
I spliced wires to match the mac motherboard connector, and the addition of an 24V adaptor to power the 25V line for the Apple ADC video. see an image of the FrankenPSU here (http://www.systemdisc.com/workarea.jpg)
I flipped on the power strip switch, powering the PS (pin 14 shorted) and the ac adaptor. The fan on the CPU spins, and a motherboard light powers on. The hard disk, however, will not start up with the motherboard connected. Also there is no video output.
I know my voltages for each connector pin are correct, but I have not checked current or paid any attention to rails. I don't know which Mac pin needs an independent +3.3V, for example, and which ATX wires provides it.
I wish I could post on xlr8yourmac, but the forums are closed to new users for some reason.

So, now Zune software is gonna compete with Windows Phone 7? :confused:
No, Zune IS the multimedia software on Windows Phone 7.
I don't even know why this is news, it's nothing more than a rumor that MS won't produce any more hardware in house.

My friends and I have set up a non-for-profit society at university. My role in the society is the website. Where can I find free CGI hosting? We don't accept money from members and so can't afford to pay any money. At the moment we are on geocities (yuk!). I just want to set up some perl scripts. I would also need to ability to add modules (i.e. date/time modules) too probably.
Does anyone offer free CGI hosting?

And if you need to use those pages or keynote projects at work or in school?
Define "need to use." I use Pages for all of my reports, and output to PDF for presentation to my clients. If they need a Word version, I export it as Word. Never had a single complaint. I present in Keynote quite often, sometimes saving the slides in PDF form. Never had a complaint there either; in fact the Keynote presentations in particular get rave reviews.
I don't get why people manufacture so many impediments that don't exist to using something other than MS Office. I would loathe the thought of being chained to MS Office, or anything else for that matter, for the rest of my life.
