It sounds like your problem comes form trying to send to much data through the one firewire bus on the computer (yes you have multiple ports, but unless you ass a second FW card there is ONLY one FW bus)

Its like trying to send to much through a pipe at one time.

Compression settings for DVD’s have been covered MANY times on the forums.
Have you tried a search?

What program are you trying to use the font in, and what type of font is it?

Its kinda funny I was having a conversation about interviews just the other day with someone.

Your demo real and resume tell the people what you can do before you ever get to the interview, a lot of what the interview tells the employer is how your personality will fit with the rest of the team, and how you will handle different situations.

Good Luck.

[Alan Lacey] “Not with the Logitecs “

Logitech mice work PERFECTLY fine, in EVERY aspect. I have used a 8 button Logitech mouse for years and have NEVER had to install anything to use it. EVERY button works PERFECT.

Some don’t, but most would recommend it.

Oh I forgot to mention, that what makes each build different is support for the newer hardware that has been put into the newer model computers.

Drivers for the new hardware etc.

[JeremyG] “They might. I am sure there’s a fire sale of Tiger at some stores somewhere. “

Now that definitely will not work. The versions of tiger that were sold in the box were not universal, they will only work on a PPC machine. All intel came with Tiger so there was no reason to make the box version of Tiger universal.

Leopard is the FIRST universal OS that apple has released. You can actually boot both a PPC and a Intel from the same install of the OS, you could not do that with Tiger.

[JeremyG] “[Warren] “Next, I’ve bought systems from Apple that you can only install the system that came on it or better.”

Like what? “

Well the new MacBooks that were just barley released for example, the leopard disks that come with them are a newer build of the OS Leopard. Same version, but newer build that will work with those machines. You cant even use the box version of Leopard to do an install on the new revision of the MacBook.

The box version is only built to be compatible with computers released before the box version was. Any computes released after that box version may have a newer build specifically for that machine.

I hope this helps it all make sense.

Try trashing the preference files.
