Re: Need info on Interarchy please
G'day, thanks Robert I've got a 2010 i7 iMac with 16GB ram, running 10.8.2. It looks to me like Matthew Drayton (the author of interarchy) has simply used the same layout in Interarchy 10 as in Interarchy 9, but disabled the Scheduled Bookmarks feature.

Need info on Interarchy please
G'day folks This is one for the collective minds of G5. I'm trying to use Interarchy 10 to mirror both ways on many folders, and want to schedule them for every 10 minutes or less. A fast reaction time is important. Trouble is, I can't work out how to use the 'Schedule Bookmarks' feature of Interarchy. Dragging my existing bookmarks over the menu item does not work. Anyone able to advise me please? I've emailed Matthew Drayton, but he simply doesn't answer my emails.

Re: Need info
I have used Skype to call South America and Asia successfully, as well as within the USA.

Yes, I agree Kris, that really is insane. I will say that for someone who used Skype before Oprah got a hold of it and it became mainstream. Shortly before that, it turned from this lean sleek application to hog. And all sorts of problems were introduced, as is usually the case in such transitions.

I've been attempting to talk with a friend who's visiting the Middle East, and it was a very poor connection. I then called my brother who was in Austin, Texas (I'm in Kansas), and it was equally poor, and even dropped the connection. I think perhaps iChatAV is a better choice for Mac-to-Mac? I believe there are other VOIP programs that are compatible with Skype, so perhaps Skype isn't the best choice, I don't know? From my minimal experience I wouldn't use the words works fine for Skype. Also, I was trying to troubleshoot a webcam and tried using Skype to test the function. I placed a call from one Mac in my home to another Mac in my home, and to my astonishment the video was perhaps twenty or thirty seconds delayed. I've heard of latency, but this was insane. I had the computers in different rooms and it was like a time machine, I could walk into the other room and see the video of what happened half a minute ago. It was bizarre, and no way any meaningful conversation could happen over this connection. I suppose rather than scoping out the direct, lowest latency connection between the two computers, it has to be sent to Bethesda or somewhere the NSA can get their copy? I diverge, but since I mentioned low latency connections, there is a company that's going to do live multi-player video games where the games reside on a host computer, and your computer is basically a dumb terminal. This method has many advantages, which one of the coolest is being able to spectate at multi-player games. There could be a crowd of a million watching two teams play against each other, just like real life sports. The technology they use to find the lowest latency connection should be incorporated into these video VOIP programs. Here's a link to the demo, I thought it was fantastically persuasive IF IT WORKS as it appears to in this demo: http://www.viddler.com/explore/gamertagradio/videos/160/169.707/ -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Whatever you mean, if it's digital data and smaller than the capacity of the disc, you can burn it. I was hoping to copy my HD to a CD but pictures are not shown only data. Huh? How big is your HD? A CD is only 700MB, it seems unlikely you could burn your HD to CD? Perhaps you could back a HD up to DVD, especially a dual-layer DVD, but again, the best backup is a full backup on another HD. 2. Does anyone, have for sale, a used good DVD Burner that will work on a BW G3 with OSX10.3.9 and a Toast software for same ? I'm sure someone has one, look on eBay or LEM-Swap list. You'll probably need PatchBurn also. I don't see why you'd want to shop used when new ones are less than $20 and support newer media types, plus they burn faster. This one was posted recently for $17.99 NEW, I'd surely think about this in preference to used ones.: http://www.nowdirect.com/exec/partInfo/part_detail.tsb?prcpart=RETSH-S202N%2FBSBN%20RPL --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
