Why not FireTiger? Gives a nice allusion to Blake, or perhaps Spike Milligan if you're feeling silly. Tyger, Tyger, burning bright, Watch out! You'll set the jungle alight

I don't know if it's the fault of HFS+ per se, or if whether all this journalling and permissions and other extra crap added on top of the lean mean base system has brought it on, or perhaps it's the GPT partition scheme and multi terabyte hard disks, but it's frankly quite temperamental these...

They look like a pretty good headset all up. What a bargain!

There are specific exemptions to the law for the purposes of interoperability... now whether emulation would count is probably up to a lawyer and/or court. :?: My lay reading of 1201(f) would lead me to believe that breaking the copy protection on a copy of Wizardry that you own legally would...

I'd agree that they are very likely extremely rare by now, but they didn't *have* to be sent back to Apple. They were bought outright by Select/Premier Devs, and could be returned at the end of the programme for a sizable discount on a new Mac Pro to replace it.

I doubt that it would pull any power unless an ADC monitor was plugged in?

Leopard broke a few older programs for me. The only one I specifically remember was Romeo (bluetooth app) though, so it may be fine.

iMates appear regularly on eBay from what I've seen, and aren't *too* expensive. USB is 5V, and generally only delivers 100 mA unless a device asks for more power. I don't think this will be enough power to start turning even a small 12V fan, but it could be worth a shot. Personally I would...

I did the exact same thing with my PBG4 brick. Unfortunately it's a bit "sticky" now due to the gaffer tape glue oozing a little from the heat. Still works fine though!

I prefer multiple screens. They are typically cheaper than a single larger screen, they support workflows like fullscreen games, and they work better with the Windows way of doing things (ie. mostly running maximised apps). I have 2x20" (1680x1050 each) at home and 2x19" (unfortunately only...

Alas, I've found that while the manufacturer claims to support unlimited undos, the hardware will typically develop "memory holes" after just a few undos.

In the worst case scenario with a "project" G5 you can always sell a clean case for a decent sum to someone who wants to put a PC or Hackintosh inside one.

Command+(keyboard) Power Key, from memory? I'm sure someone will correct me if not. On older Macs with a hardware interrupt switch, hitting the switch would bring up the debugger. Once you install MacsBug, it replaces the little white box with a much more fully-featured version. MacsBug would...

10.5 seemed no worse than 10.4 on my dual core G5, at the time. It might even work out faster now that 10.5 is more mature. My rule of thumb is 10.4 for G4s and 10.5 for G5s and 10.6 for G6s. :beige:

Boy, that really does look like a fake! All the key caps are way off. A vague guess would be that the keyboards are used for some kiosk or specialised purpose that only needs certain keys, and has special symbols/colours on others. But why, in that case, would they have replaced all the normal...

I thought the old battle.net was still up? Starcraft 1 runs on it, after all, and that game will likely never die.

But it's getting more and more like OS X all the time... :)

Early 2005 is presumably a dual-core model and while I think the top end was water-cooled, the low end dual 2GHz was definitely standard and ought to be pretty reliable. Probably a bad OS install, perhaps dead GPU.

I don't have much to add after some of the very informative posts in this thread, but the ImageWrite II is built on the C-Itoh 8510 print engine, and if you look for ribbons using that moniker then some people have reported that they can be found relatively easily and cheaply in standard office...

Indeed, I guess it's not so rare after all! Here's a very useful webpage I just stumbled upon with nice, clear black and white illustrations of many network cards, covering the interfaces, output LEDs and input jumpers/switches on each: http://stason.org/TULARC/pc/network-cards/netnub_1.html
