Re: Hard drive woes
I was able to repair one drive and did a clean install of 10.5. It seems all my trouble starts with screwed up updates. Our satalite ISP seems to mess up and the Apple server is horribly slow.

Re: Hello! and question from a relative newbie
Imovie except the latest versions does a nice job. Importing and rendering take a long time on my old G4 MDD dual 887 even with 2gigs of ram and SATA drive. My G5 1.8 with 2 gigs is twice to 3 times as fast at the same tasks. A good AGP video card helps as well. Good luck! I also miss my Amiga 3000.

Re: Firefox 3.5.2
Go to Safari 4 it is blazing fast. On 8/11/09, Lawrence David Eden lde...@comcast.net wrote: FF 2.5.2 is very slow on all the Macs in my house. One of the Macs is an Intel, the others are G4 or G5. For the time being, I have reverted to FF 3.0+ and it works fine. I tried FF on a friend's PC and it ran perfectly. Furthermore, I asked a friend of mine on an Intel Mac to try FF, and he reported no slowness. I am using Comcast as my ISP and I have a NetGear router connected to the cable modem. Any ideas about the cause of the slownessand any ideas about how to solve the problem?

Re: Anolog to Digital
I have a Graphics with card with RCA inputs from a Beige G3. Would this work? I will pull it and see if it will even fit. The issue would be software. I have 2 gigs RAM and a 500 gig HD 72000. I plan to get an additional 500 gig for video.. Thanks for suggestion. I was thinking of firewire box like set up.

If you have a external HD with DV1394 port capable them you can make the captured to this HD..be sure if a 7200 rpm HD. any other question...ask! sorry for my english.
