This is a 'blog for Mac and Apple stuff. IOW, not a 'blog for how wonderful and innovative Dull and Windulls is.
some links from my links page (Aladdin has changed its name, but I'm not going to look it up for this post:

Apple: Linux for dummies.
It's Allume Systems.
"RePorter puts two USB ports, FireWire 400 and 800, and audio in and out ports wherever they're easy to get to on your desk. Or on your laptop when you're traveling. It's a simple idea, and a simple design. And you'll wonder how you got along without it."
(handy, but at $59, a little pricey if you ask me)
"I got some new Altoids tins, borrowed a Dremel tool from Mitchell, and purchased brand new firewire connectors from NTC. Here's my second, cleaner, tighter, much nicer attempt at a sweet external battery pack for iPod. Once, again, credit goes to Drew Perry for the design and inspiration. His is made inside a deck of cards, mine is in an Altoids can. This one is way better than the first one I tried, and my soldering is getting better - not really."(not a commercial product, just a project)
"After receiving much attention and many comments about the last version of the Altoids battery pack, decided to do something a little different for the next version. I was inspired by Griffin Technology's TuneJuice emergency battery pack for the iPod. The elgant, little, white pack provides up to 4 hours of power to the iPod if the internal battery is fully drained, and uses only a standard 9 volt alkaline. So I though to myself, "Shit! A 9V battery can be power the iPod." Then I thought, "Altoids makes some stuff other than Altoids, like Altoids gum!" Two great tastes that taste great together. You can see the results below: One 9V battery, one firewire connector, and one Altoids chewing gum tin = better than before. Enjoy."
"SmartDeck is more than just a cassette adapter for iPod; it achieves truly seamless integration between iPod and cassette deck. Use the cassette deck's forward and rewind buttons to advance to the next or prior songs in the iPod playlist. Pause and stop buttons do what pause and stop buttons are expected to do. Hit the cassette deck's Eject button or switch from Cassette to Radio, and Griffin's SmartPlay technology automatically pauses the iPod."
(like most of these links, it came from the April 2005 issue of "MacWorld")
"PatchBurn is a tool to patch existing CD/DVD-drivers (under Mac-OS X 10.2.x) or to generate and install new device profiles (under Mac-OS 10.3.x and later). It allows many, otherwise unsupported burners to be used directly with Mac-OS X, iTunes and DiscBurner."
I need some RAM. Self-ping.

"WireTap Pro allows you to record any audio, saving it to a file for later listening or processing. Streaming Internet audio, sound snippets of a DVD movie, voice notations/narration, audio from a game, digitized audio from a line-in... WireTap Pro does it all... WireTap Pro's simple but powerful interface allows you to record audio from any running applications, as well as from any microphone, line-in, headset, and even your radioSHARK... WireTap Pro can save your digital recordings in the popular .mp3, AAC, QuickTime, and AIFF file formats, saving them to your hard drive for later processing/listening. WireTap Pro can also save your recordings directly into iTunes, or onto your iPod or other iTunes-compatible .mp3 player. You have total control over the file format, compression, and quality of your recordings."
(the owner and chief programmer of Ambrosia is conservative, judging from his forum posts at the site)
"6i isolator earphones are designed specifically for use with the Apple iPod and other small portable players, offering 8 dB higher overall sensitivity and slightly more bass than the ER-6 isolator earphones."
(one last link gleaned from the April 2005 issue of "MacWorld")
Thanks.
Apple computers are for those who want to use technology, not work on it.

I've always thought OS X is what Linux would be if any of the supporting Linux companies knew anything about making a good GUI or providing good usability.
You havn't tried KDE then - carbon is based on kde & xorg
recheck the iMac ram - I have a 600mhz G3 iMac at work and it only has TWO slots in it. I have 512meg PC100's in each and the gig works nicely. Check out a local computer store for their 'old ram' - PC100 was common on PCs and not in vogue anymore, you ought to be able to get a better deal.
Know any place I can get a cheap slot-feeding DVD reader for it? 'Pulls' are hard to come-by these days (it's gotta have Apple ROMs on it so it'll be bootable)...
Sometimes, handy is well worth the price.........
