There's an impedance issue here. Preamps made for turntables have a very specific resistance and capacitance across the output that is specified by the RIAA to give a flat frequency response. CD or other line inputs lack this termination, and will give you some odd sounds. You'll be better off

My primary interest in flash is to watch Nova on hulu.com. The site requires an upgrade to Flash 9, which isn't available for my 64-bit Ubuntu system. But with the Flash 9 upgrade, it seems to run ok on the G4. It almost maxes out the CPU when I first run a show, and then settles down to about 60%

What is the exact HD partition limit?

add the three partitions together, that gives me 232.52 GB, which is different than the 252.9 GB that Disk Utility gives me for a total. Is the difference the disk image? How do I compensate for that? Is it possible to hit the nail exactly on the head? Thanks yet again! - Michael B. in Cincinnati

The problem is, Disk Utility is calibrated in GB, not actual MB. I can tell because the total capacity is given in both GB and bytes, and the difference reflects the numbers shown below. So, do I partition at exactly 128.000 GB, or 137.072 GB in Disk Utility? On Sep 4, 3:42 pm, Michael B
