I am looking for a KVM switch with a very specific set of features and haven't really been able to find one, but maybe you guys (or girls) will be able to help me out. I am looking for a 4 port switch with audio, mouse and keyboard (USB prefered, but could be P2/2 and I'll use an adapter), at least one USB port if it is PS/2, and of course video.
My main dillema is that I can't find something with both USB and audio. I have also scoped out ebay and found some cheap ones that do USB and other ones that can do audio. I could always just have two switches. Any advice against buying electronics on ebay? (I use ebay a good bit, but not for electronics).
Anyone have any suggestions. (oh my setup is that I have a mac, pc, and linux machines and only one set of peripherals and would like to easily swap between the three sharing all the same stuff).

I'd just order on behalf of your kids through the online education store. If there are any issues then you could be honest and explain your situation.
I know people who have used the edu store and have specified training colleges etc. No questions were even asked.

Hi guys.. sorry i just found this out.. i never noticed before because he always has the case on it, but his name is enscribed on the back.. So he will be willing to let it go for 165 shipped, a pretty good deal.. I believe the name could be polished out if it really bothers you..

Hi, I will not be camping out, however I am disabled and wonder if their nwill be a (special Line) for people that have disabled (PLACARDS). Also, does anyone know how long the pre reservation lines will be and how fast they will move, base on like (person #43) who is in line? Also, my reservation says 7 am, but could there be like a 1000 customers in the reservation line at 7 am? I'm just trying to get a (CLEAR UNDERSTANDING) of how long I will be in line because of my disability. Please let me know from past experiance.
thanks, purplestigers:apple:
Spoke with the apple store today. They will have 2 lines one for reservations and one for non reservations. I asked about disabled people. The rule is you must wait in the line. But they said they would be more than happy to help you any way they could. The mall is not going to let us line up until like 5am. In the past when apple opens the doors the lines are fairly long. I have seen them stretch all the way from the apple store down towards Macy's. I'd say at 7am there will be at least 50 non reservation people in line and more than that in the reservation line. I cant really speculate how fast the line will move since the farthest back i have ever been in line was 8. My suggestion would be to have someone wait in line for you and then when the store is about to open go meet up with them. Good luck. Lets us know how it went. :-)

No surprise since their intentions became obvious when they backpeddled over earlier comments made by a spokesperson during MWSF '06 after the keynote and also the subsequent length of time "spent evaluating" the feasibility while Parallels came in with an actual product. VMWare's confirmation they were entering the Mac market probably killed any remaining consideration.

Concur. Never once saw a Zune.
I get the sense MS is scrambling to catch up. They are a software company, and Apple is a hardware & software company (and I'll concede in many cases hardware = gadgets). However,they are all driven by a few streams of software which they continue to improve upon.
Sounds like you need to get out more.

Nothing to do with the Air.... but Firefox 4.0 has a confirmed memory leak that will eventually choke your OS, unless you shut down FF frequently.
Not worth it IMO, until they get this fixed. There is also an issue with tabs and with startup remembering previous sessions.

I agree it is a pain in the ass. I hated Column View when I first used it, but now I hate it when Finder decides to open a folder in any other view anything else. I have had the experience less since I updated to 10.3.8.

I don't know how the Order Status page on Apple's site works in other countries, but in the US if the item ships separately, there's a separate tracking number with each item, otherwise it will say "preparing for shipping or "not yet shipped".
I would think calling Apple would probably provide more answers than calling the shipping company.

That is very sad.
I would not be surprised if that show was the most syndicated around the world.I also have to wonder if it did help shape American culture at the time, even if it was just a little bit.
I also wonder how many black leather jackets it helped sell :D

With my 5870 I've been able to crank SC2 and Portal up to the very max on every setting without any lag (and that's on OS X.)
No idea how it compares to the iMac, but the short answer is "It will run almost all the games out right now perfectly."

Get the card w/the S-vid out and run that into your camera. Be warned though that most games, when playing in the normal full screen mode, will turn off the 2nd monitor so you might end up having to "play" the game on your DV camera's flip out screen.
mnkeybsness,
You can only send video out via FW if the program you are using, like iMovie or FCP, knows how to send video out via FW (and assuming that the hardware you are sending it to knows how to accept video input via FW). FW is just a digital i/o so, for example, a video game will not "see" FW as a video out unless it's been specifically coded to see FW as a video out.

Hi,
for all the guys "needing, wanting, must have" the SSDs, read this:
[http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2011/05/the-hot-crazy-solid-state-drive-scale.html]
I'm using a SSD (256GB) since over a year (almost two now) in my MacBook and one in another machine since almost a year and they didn't fail yet :-) .... and a good backup is always a must, no matter if you have SSD or HD. I had plenty of HD fail on me - backup is a must no matter what. And as always: do some research about the brand and if possible the model you buy, that will reduce the risk of failing a lot (true for SSD and HD).

I do not disagree with you. I should have said for "my real work". Obviously there are activities that require mobile computing and can be handled by a phone, tablet, netbook etc. just fine.
Sorry - it wasn't aimed at you in particular. Rather, at the hordes of people who seem to think small notebooks and tablets - Apple ones in particular :) - are only for consumption. A later poster put it perfectly: the market has evolved, not the computers. In practical terms, as a business traveller, this suggests to me that I'll see fewer and fewer guys in suits schlepping gigantic Dell laptops with power bricks the size of small houses, and using them solely for Word and Outlook.

Things that happen when you downgrade your video with something less capable just because of some fan noise on a 7800. Your perfectly good 7800 should have been left right where it was.
Whats next? Downgrade a 1TB HD to an 80GB? ;)
Well, the good news is I have the 7800 GT.. I wouldn't get rid of it at all.. but I might replace the fan on it. And no, I would downgrade from a 1TB to an 80GB, but thats not a good comparison between the two video cards though.

That's so true! I really wanted to go ultimate this time and that's what i did :cool:
But i have to admit the cheapest iMacs are the best deals this time
*Edit*
One thing i'de like to add. If video editing for you means doing some cuts, arranging your material and maybe doing a quick colour correction you don't need a powerfull machine. Actually i'm doing this with 1080p DSLR and Sony EX Cam footage on my two year old mac mini without problems.
The reason i'm ordering a new iMac is that i hit my computers limits when doing extensive compositing in After Effects.
Hope that helps

So my iphone 4 is in the mail and I'm now dealing with the challenge of transferring my info over. Is there an easier way to transfer my contacts? I know google stores all contacts in the cloud but that would take a while hand typing them over.
Any tips from previous Android users that switched?
(I own several iOs devices so im aware of the general workings)
