It makes sense too. The Intel mobile is really energy efficient for its power. The G5 is nothing to laugh at, but I doubt IBM is going to put much effort into improving the G5 now… hopefully they will and the PowerMac line will continue to be a viable platform.

That happens to me all the time. The problem is that the column view doesn’t show you clearly that you are IN the folder you want to save to, so you naturally click in the column with file names to make sure. It is BAD UI design, but not a technical bug. Really, OS X has lots of similar “state” problems like there isn’t enough contrast between the frontmost, active window and lower screens. Working with 2 monitors I constantly mistake one application as active, start typing, and realize that my work is being done in another window!

My first question is whether the card is still under warranty. Did you have just one year Apple Care or did you extend it? Even if only 1 year, does the card itself have a warranty? Looking at video cards I see a 3 year warranty on the ATI 9800 card… https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/accelerators/ATI-Videocards/
No, you cannot use the PC version of an ATI card. Mainly because of drivers I would think. But you also need to be careful because some of them are for PCI-Express instead of AGP 8x or PCI-X. Most cards you will find for the Mac (for basic video like your ATI card) will be AGP and the PCI ones are usually laggards in performance. But the main difference is if you NEED the ADC connection. PC cards do not come with that.

If your concern is your kid, then why not just “Lock” your computer when you leave using the screen saver and setting your kids up with their own account? Using fast user switching they can just come up and do their own thing and you can restrict what they can do pretty easily… especially with Tiger.

It depends on what you mean by Password protect. Do you mean that a user has to enter a password, regardless of security permissions in order to look into that folder? If so, the answer is no. What a lot of people, including myself, do is make a disk image (mine is only 10MB) and encrypt it with a password. I have it in a folder and store all of my passwords on it. To open the disk and mount it on the desktop, you have to know the password. It encrypts with AES-256 I believe… don’t remember anymore…

Arstechnica’s Hannibal has a pretty good handle on the future of Intel chips and guesses as to where Apple will fit in:

I meant “not needing PARTITIONS”… duh.
