Re: iBox (the hardware) - 6 months ago
All good points and of course gaming is changing too. With less and less physical media to be had and/or collected. Meh. If I ever end up getting one then I will buy the optical drive. It's just the principle of the thing I guess. I hadn't noticed... are they $80 cheaper?by Madaracs - Spork Central

Re: iBox (the hardware) - 6 months ago
I don't buy movies much anymore--an occasional bluray I guess. But I do use my optical drives to rip from my existing 900+ movies regularly. I refuse to pay for it again if I've already bought it and I like to have movies on my iPad when I travel. So I have a need for one. So far what I'm reading, it's an even split of users who want and need the optical drive and those who do not need it. Sby Madaracs - Spork Central
Re: The new iMac -- Where's the optical drive? - 6 months ago
Ooooh....K? So much for the sleek look. Remember the ads where you don't have all of those cords? Yeah... Whatever. I've got so many USB devices attached to my iMac it looks like C'thulu. Now let's make you buy an external drive for it. Probably still costs the same as it did with an optical drive too.by Madaracs - Spork Central

How soon after is the keynote put up for download?by Madaracs - Spork Central

I suppose everyone else is in chat but they block that at work so here I sit watching on engadget. These keynotes are definitely different without Steve.by Madaracs - Spork Central

Re: If You Prick Me Do I Not... Leak? - 1 year ago
Does anyone know: 1. Which is the latest and more importantly best Cyanogen(mod) to be running? 2. Is it possible to run more than just WPA on an android or is that OS bound as far as setting up tethering?by Madaracs - Spork Central

Re: Vaya con iOS - 1 year ago
I'll start by asking if anyone else has had problems with the new iOS 5.0.1 and connecting to wireless networks? Specifically: [*] Wireless N [*] WPA2 PSK Enabled [*] Android Wi-Fi Hotspot/Tethering Since the new update, my mom's iPod Touch 3G cannot connect to my Linksys e4200 unless I enable Wireless G (maybe that's normal I don't know.) And I'm not able to tether to my android with ANY iDevby Madaracs - Spork Central

Which thread is best for IOS discussion?by Madaracs - Spork Central
Re: Retro Geek - 1 year ago
Ah ha! Well that is great to know. So that explains why the Disk II interface works best in slot 6. It was in slot 7 so it would boot and then do nothing. Thanks for the confirmation on that! The 80 column card really only fits in one slot so I can't screw that up. It has "This side toward keyboard" or something printed on it too. And since it's beveled to fit in the front I figured that oby Madaracs - Spork Central
Re: Retro Geek - 1 year ago
Well I isolated a couple of problems.... or at least one problem and maybe one configuration issue. First, I discovered by switching the disk controller to another slot, I was able to make games/programs load properly. Lucky break I guess. But I also noticed some dip switches on another controller card inside the //e and I was wondering if that was what dictated which slots worked for what. Oby Madaracs - Spork Central

Re: Retro Geek - 1 year ago
Help? I did a ClosedApple+CTRL+Reset on my Apple //e and I don't get KERNEL OK. I get a RAM address: *RAM 00001000 I assume this means there is something wrong with the computer's RAM? I'm able to load some games but they do not play, reset or partially load. Also, I'm typing this on a lampshade mac running OSX 10.2.8. <--this could be my problem, no? :-) If anyone knows anything abby Madaracs - Spork Central

Re: goodbye old archnemesis - 1 year ago
Is anyone else a little irritated with the media's misrepresentation of Jobs' role in his founding/co-founding of Pixar? He neither founded nor co-founded it. He invested in it to save it from drowning. Am I wrong?by Madaracs - Spork Central
