What's this worth? 15" Powerbook 867

I'm not really up on how well Powerbooks hold their value. Anybody offer some advice? I got it used as part of a trade, so I don't even have a good dollar figure to start from. The computer is as follows: 15" G4 PowerBook 867Mhz (sometimes referred to as TiBook) ATI Radeon 9000 32 MB...

One 19" or two 17" lcds?

That only applies in the world of CRT's. Since the LCD's native resolution is 1280x1024, the screen is physically sized in the correct ratio.

Photoshop Machine

This is a Photoshop limitation, not an operating system limitation. 64-bit Windows will have no effect on this. For photographic work, CRT's are far superior. LCD's just don't have the colour reproduction needed for professional photographic editing.

Photoshop Machine

Photoshop... PROCESSOR: you'll do fine with either a P4 or Athlon64. benchmarks don't go dual. there is *some* benefit, but not anything proportionate to the price increase. RAM: As other people have stated, Photoshop will not access more than 2GB. As a general guideline, PS uses 3-5X the...

How reliable is your cable service? You said you'd rather not go with DSL, but here's an interesting thought: keep your existing cable, and get a DSL connection. Then get a router that supports 2 broadband connections. When both are working, you get a load balanced connection, if either one...

I guess a good question to ask would be -- what's the application here?

Looking for a piece of hardware...

have you tried Windows XP remote desktop? You can't play games over it, but it's pretty good for everything else--especially on a 100mbps or gigabit ethernet connection. This still requires a 2nd pc to be the 'terminal' but it doesn't need to be especially powerful.

Lexar Compact Flash 12x 32x and 40x

In the Canon A70, there will be no difference at all. The only place you will notice a difference is if you use an external compact flash reader to copy the pictures onto your computer. I've got a Canon S400 with a 256mb Lexar 12x and I'm happy with it.

Proper firewall with 2003 Server?

I've been looking around at routers that support automatic dialup fail-over. One that I've found is www.snapgear.com. They seem to be quite reasonably priced compared to a lot of others. I'd like to hear comments from others on them.

paying extra $$ for additional IP addresses?

What about SnapGear routers? Any thoughts on them? I believe they can take 5 IP's and share them with however many clients in various configurations.

ISDN is, unfortunately, not available in the area. Two options for internet -- satellite, and dialup.

I've read a lot of negative reviews on that SMC router. It seems the older version works fine, but the newer version has major stability problems. Any other options?
