Do you guys think that AIR could be referring to "Apple Itunes Rentals?

Ok, I don't want to spend too much time on this but let me help you out as much as I can. If you are looking to do web site design with CSS you should really get a book.
I don't remember saying I wanted to learn CSS, I am just querying how much Firefox (and Safari) form fields can be changed by CSS as I can't recall ever seeing a button face, for example, looking anything other than standard.

I would think it would be better to look into this in a few years when it is not so much a one horse race.

Thanks for the tips so far. After reading that the Performa 6290cd was one of the worst Macs ever made, I immediately bought one !! Not here yet, but if operational, I'll use it to test the software. If successful, I'll know that powerpc models aren't out of the question and maybe grab a few old, inexpensive Macs to toy with this project.
Yup. They sure were. Bad ROM/Cache Dimm, EMI Clips that scratch the logic board, the 5200 had a brittle RGB cable, CommSlot cards with no "hook", LC-PDS slot problems, Power Supplies that die or go BANG etc etc.... :mad:
Being mostly from the Windows world, tearing this thing apart will be fun.
I'd suggest getting a take apart for it. I've seen plenty of people all but destroy the case trying to get in. :D
Do a Google for:
6200 6300 pdf performa
I found a guy selling internal scsi burners for Macs. From Apple docs, it appears I can lift the case and replace the internal cd-rom drive with one of these burners. Any tips on those- brands etc that may work with the old Macs?
Also, am I right that I should be looking for Toast 4 to possibly burn backups to cd if the burner works ? Old versions of Toast seem very hard to find.
There is a small grey plug that fits the burner which then slides into a socket inside the chassis. Some burners' SCSI interface isn't aligned the same but I have no way of knowing which will work. Apple predominantly used Panasonic/Matsushita & Sony CDROM drives. You may have trouble with the size of the tray nose. Toast 4 updated to 4.1.3 or Toast 5 updated to 5.2.x should be perfect. Try to get Toast Deluxe (v4) or Toast 5 Titanium as they are full uncrippled versions.
This 6290cd is loaded with about every card option Apple had at the time and I know this thing was aimed at the Sears crowd etc. This one even appears to have the dedicated vga option as well as the standard Apple display type connector. Owner says os 9 is on it but the restore cd will be 7.6 or 7.5. Think I'll start with an immediate restore to that. Any opinions on how this model handles os 8? By the way, it has a gigantic 48mb of ram (ha ha)
With 72pin RAM they are slow. OS 8 will be horrible. The 5400/6400 improved on that with FPM DIMMs. Update the 7.5.x to 7.5.5.
If at all possible, use DriveSetup 1.7.3 (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58303) to re-format the drive. The 5200/6200 used an on-board IDE driver initially and if you use the original DriveSetup, there will be no driver partition on the drive and could have trouble mounting the bare drive in other systems if ever required. A newer IDE drive can assist with the overall speed, but don't go nuts on capacity. 40GB drives work IIRC.
Good luck! :eek:

Okay, so my grandfather has agreed to help me with a computer for school. He said apple would be better(I can't figure out how an 83 year old man knows this).
He told me to get a final price after GST and everything.
It's mainly for school throughout the day. Some video watching and music. I'm not a gamer.
He said make it's it cheaper, but make sure its quality.
Mac mini is $749 here in edmonton before GST, and the 21.5" iMac is 1,299 before taxes.
I have a couple monitors and everything I need for the mac mini, but I can't decide what would last longer.
I'm coming from an HP laptop running windows 7.
As you already have monitors, peripherals & don't play games, I'd go for a Mini.
FWIW, my intel iMac's logic board fried recently after 2yrs 10 months. As I didn't get Apple Care (I thought I was safe, partly because of Apple's reputation + I have a heavily-used iBook still going strong after over 5 & 1/2 years & still use an 8 year old G4 iMac), I'm left with expensive junk fit only for selling cheaply for spare parts.
I thought I was plain unlucky, but Googling about this suggests that, while the problem isn't common, it's neither extremely rare for intel iMac's to develop logic board problems. If you get an iMac, just make sure you also buy Apple Care to cover you for at least 3 years.
PS: I like Apple products. IMO, most of them are indeed superb quality. However, in view of the expense, I'll never again buy another AOI, whether from Apple or any other company. FWIW, that sucks as I'm also a Mac gamer, so some games will also be eBayed, unless Apple update their Mini soon. - But good luck whatever you buy!

well, i do have photoshop.
i do some photoshop stuff too, but i am somehow afraid, that i cannot do justice to the dream i had...
that is why, i thought someone outthere has the time, talent and imagination "to do it for me."
well, as i said before, maybe i should really try hard to recreate my dream.

I'm 100% sure that people ask it many times in this forum, but i just had to ask.
I'm finishing soon "C for Dummies, 2nd Edition", what should i read next? my goals at the end are to know how to program an desktop application, not a game.
Thank you very much, as i understood i need to learn, C, C-Objective, and no idea what after it. So if can someone please give me the next step after i finish reading the C for dummies book i will be very thankful.
My learning style is hands on experience, i like to read and than write the book's example, so not just reading...

Yes, it's confusing. Go to App Store, Purchases, Xcode, then click INSTALL. That won't actually install the product, but is going to put "Install Xcode" into your Applications folder. You launch it, and that installs the new version.Thanks for this. I finished downloading the 4.0.2 update from the App Store and launched Xcode and it still claimed to be running version 4.0. Didn't know what was going on there!

Boo, I thought I had decided which one I wanted, then I came across this:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/EliteALmini/RAID/eSATA_FW800_FW400_USB
The one I was originally looking at was
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/1394/USB/EliteAL/eSATA_FW800_FW400_USB
It says the portable drive has up to 300mb/s transfer rate, while the other one has up to 150mb/s transfer rate. Is it safe to say that the portable drive is significantly faster in this case or is it just for SSD? I'd imagine 7200RPM drives from the same company would run at similar speeds. I'm not completely familiar with RAID either, and I know SSDs are a lot faster (so maybe the 300mb/s was talking about an SSD which I don't want).
Any confirmation would be great =D
This speed difference exists only via eSATA.

Yes, it's a plug-in for the forum system that inserts our affiliate link for several online stores when linked to in the forums. It's been in use for a couple of years.
It's certainly not an uncommon practice, and we do have to make a living. :) We do make a point to mention affiliate linking when it's done on news stories, but I'm not sure where and how would be the best place to do it in the forums.
While we don't alert each and every poster of the practice, we certainly have no wish to hide that we're doing it.
Edit: Or see arn's even more official response above. :)

Hey guys, so i've noticed that other computer forums have kind of a marketplace area of their forums. I thought this would be pretty cool if there was one on Macrumors, but I looked around and couldn't find one (if there is one I apologize for making this thread) so I thought i'd suggest it.
Also I wasn't sure exactly where to post this thread so if a mod feels like there is a better place for this posting you're welcome to move it there.
Thanks.

92 percent of what it originally was (of the original 5800 units).
whereas it says battery capacity at 92 percent is still "excellent".
anybody else with this utility and similar data?

if its going to be till november, well, we won't be seeing something new in January. Then there is the IBM announcement in October - timing just doesn't make sense.
A quick check at the Apple Store shows it will be mid to end of October - pretty damn close to November - this isn't good.
