Re: Open Office 3.1 released

But does VO actually report what's selected or if something gets unselected? If so, everything is fine and i might even have a look at the new openoffice to see what i think about it. /Krister 11 maj 2009 kl. 20.26 skrev Chris Blouch: Hmm. So I created a new Writer document and typed four

dvd's

hi all I have a set of folders of files in AVI format. Can I asume that when I burn these to a dvd disc, that each folder will be a separate title on the disc? When I copy the folder with the files inside it to the untitled dvd burn folder, can i make the disc a DVD disc, not a VCD

speeding up applications

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me. In the dim distant past I think there was a way of increasing the memory allocated to an application to speed up its running. Of course I can't remember how to do this and don't know how to do it in OSX. Can anyone help me. Thanks, Mark

windows bluetooth support fell over.

Hi friends, This morning I tried to connect my bluetooth addapter in my windows vm and it refuses to detect a driver. So, I've re- installed the bootcamp drivers from my leppard cd's and still no joy. The found new hardware wizard pops up and does it's search but doesn't detect a driver

iMac Upgrade

Hi, I'm about to upgrade my iMac G5 to the latest Intel iMac 20 2.66GHz. I have just one question. Is there any real benefit in upgrading the RAM to 4Gb from the standard 2Gb? Thanks, Mark --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are

Re: speeding up applications

That was true in the OS9 days but today memory is dynamically allocated to each app as it requests it. If the app requests more memory than is available then the OS will swap out to disk areas of memory that haven't been used in a while (called virtual memory). This process is relatively slow

Re: dvd's

Ditto. This might be a non-trivial process. DVDs are usually playing MPEG2 format video and AVI is a Microsoft Video for Windows format which they came out with in 1992. It is just a container which can hold mpeg2 and other content types but DVDs are not typically formatted that way. DVDs in

Re: speed test

Most of the speed test things I've found were Flash based and inaccessible. A brute force way to do it would be to download a reasonably large file from a known fast service and time it. One possibility is downloading the AOL Mac installer from here:

Re: dvd's

Hi, I've never tried on an AVI file, but I have tried on mpeg2 files and Imovie won't use them. I've googled to see if I can find an importer, and some very inelegant solutions exist. You have to be a bit careful though because some of the videos like low bit mpeg2's or avi files are

Re: speed test

Hi Chris, What you can do is run a Google search for speed test java. The issue is that the results may depend on geographical area, so I don't know what works for Will in the UK. If I use: http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest?java=1 and VO-Down Arrow from the Speed Test heading, I'll get

Re: iMac Upgrade

It is worth the extra cost. You can live fine on 2Gb, but I assure you 4Gb will not hurt and if you upgrade to Snow Leopard, you will be all the better for the additional memory. On May 12, 2009, at 9:57 AM, M AUSTEN wrote: Hi, I'm about to upgrade my iMac G5 to the latest Intel iMac 20

In trying this here, I can't find the start button on this site. I've checked to make sure java is enabled,and it is. COuld there be a plugin or something that I don't have, and have to get? On May 12, 2009, at 12:16 PM, Esther wrote: Hi Chris, What you can do is run a Google search

Re: speed test

Hi Dan, I think the java plugin is supposed to be part of your java installation. I was using DOM mode navigation. When I switched to group mode navigation VO-Right arrow from the Speed Test heading got me to the message: Do not use your internet connection while the test is in

Hi Dan, I've had several people suggest this. I used gmail when I could see, so I'm pretty used to it. I'm getting inrigued though. Do you know if the mail program shows the messages the same way web based does? In the web based, the messages appear in conversations, so they're all grouped
