I never had problems with CDs burned in my old G4 tower with a Pioneer drive, but the slot-loading internal superdrive in my C2D iMac burns CDs that give heartburn to the player in my car and sometimes the old CD player I use with my main stereo system. As I said in my previous post, changing CDR brands and burn speeds makes a difference. I've never been too impressed with the slot loading optical drives that Apple uses in iMacs and laptops.

Re: would this router work?
A friend has a G4 ibook and a new iMac. Her grandkids use the iBook. Her cable modem is connected to the iMac, so no internet on the iBook. The Macs and modem sit on a desk a few feet apart. She is looking for an inexpensive router. You don't need a router to share an internet connection between two Macs. Just turn Airport on for both Macs, and enable internet sharing over Airport on the Mac that's connected to the cable modem.

My C2D iMac has three USB ports, but reports five busses - three for the external ports, one serving the internal Bluetooth controller and IR receiver, and one apparently not in use.

Re: Open Office vs. NeoOffice
My question: how do you folks feel about NeoOffice vs. Open Office (either being used as a substitute for MS Office)? I used NeoOffice until a Mac native version of OpenOffice (v3.0) came out. I found OpenOffice to be much faster than NeoOffice, with a similar interface, so I've switched. For the basics, much preferable to shelling out for MS Office.

Re: iPod trouble?
Yeh, ipods will sync with only 1 computer at a time. You'd have to wipe it to get it to sync with a diff. One Not true. I used to sync my 2G iPod with my laptop and my desktop. That's how I moved music from my iBook (downloaded using free broadband at the library) to my desktop computer that was stuck with dial-up. You do have to set iTunes to let you manage syncing manually on at least one of the computers. The behavior of iTunes when you plug in your iPod is controlled by settings in iTunes, which you can access when you connect the iPod after opening iTunes (assuming the iPod is mounted on the desktop and seen by iTunes).

Re: Time Synchronization error in 10.4.11
Prior to using the Terminal commands to correct this, I manually unchecked the system preference Set date time automatically and then rechecked it in an attempt to force a time resynchronization, and it failed. I just tried setting the time on my systems by checking the Set date time automatically box. On my iMac running 10.5.6, it synced within a few seconds. My iBook running 10.4.11 took longer - between 30 seconds and a minute to sync the clock. I don't know if that represents an OS version difference, or just random network variation. Anyway the time sync works for me in 10.4 and 10.5, so I don't think the software is to blame. Perhaps something in your network connections?
