This isn't a vendor specific issue, this is a deprecated code problem. Digidesign just happens to be a good target for this particular issue. They knew since 10.4 that the NS codes would be gone... but they sat on it.

If you read some of what Apple was doing in 10.5, you find out that a lot of old code was being thrown way... a lot of the left overs from NextStep. If you were a lazy coder and didn't update your code during 10.4's release cycle, you'd be caught with your pants down and unable to make the NextStep calls. Apple also updated the FireWire backend for 10.5.... which breaks a lot of how Digidesign authorizes the software. IF, you have to go to 10.4, you can install it on a secondary drive, select it in your boot menu, and tada, you're running. Most of the processors and hardware were already supported in 10.4, just not announced.

Actually... she's not new. She's just reaching full production. If you go to the Gates Planetarium in the Denver Museum of Nature and science... they use this for their projection system and it's about a year old. If you want a real piece of work, look at the Zeiss Adlip projectors, or Evans and Sutherlands laser projectors. Those both are capable of 4096x4096 at 60 hz.

Wow... I liked my Nokia because I could customize the living shi* out of it. And isn't Symbian supposed to be open? It's like Novell crawling into bed with Microso... oh wait. Why is everyone selling their soul to Balmer?

On somewhat of the same note as tundraboy... I would never buy a product from Buffalo based off our 2TB loss when we bought a TeraStation Pro. The software [onboard] corrupted after 2 weeks, had to be replaced 6 different times... and then finally died. 2TB of data is VERY expensive to recover! I followed the build your own NAS guide on SmallNetBuilder and it's hundreds of times faster... and hasn't failed!

Don't buy this product!

PS: Their support staff are awful to try and work with!

We got this drive based off it's price point. Let me tell you, you get what you pay for! I have had to reinstall the firmware three times... and if you don't install the firmware before it errors out, you have to reboot the unit. Also be VERY VERY careful about filling this puppy up. If you get near the limit, it will not remount the drives! Buffalo's Tech support has been atrocious on this! We've also had the same problem with the grotesque connect speed. We replaced the network cable it came with since it is obviously a 10/100 cable, and still got no where near the performance you should from a gigabit port. We lost 1.5 Tb to this beast! If you're looking for NAS on the cheap, do yourself a favor and go with Intel's variety. You have to get your own HD's... but man o' man is it rock solid... and has two gigabit ports.

YAY for SkyNet.... *hums the terminator theme*

So Bill Gates gives to charities publicly, because.... he's really a good guy? Bill Gates gives publicly because he wants to be remembered. He wants to be patted on the back and told he's a good boy. He should grow some, let em drop, and give as if he believed in charities [what did he give away, .001% of his holdings? something he just earned back in the time it took me to type this?] and do it discreetly. Let the focus be on the charities, not the short man trying to save his persona from a personal h3ll.

Wow... back to something I'd like. Gimme? please? And what's with the Rusky post?!

Favorite post has got to be about the mac mini car installs. Now I wanna see the intel mac mini in a car, with triple boot [Linux, Mac and Winblows]... That's a challenge for you guys to sponsor!
