OS X Leopard Server comes with ClamAV built in. If its good enough for them...

That said, I can't be bothered with antivirus software on my mac until there are viruses to scan for. I keep up to date with what is going on in the Mac community and if I hear that there is a looming problem then I'll be right on it.

Fair enough. Thanks for the replies.

Anyone know of a good piece of software for "grabbing" flash videos for a mac? Only ones I could find are the ones for Windows. Trying to grab this type of video:

Try CosmoPod. I use it and it works well, though its for safari only.

TubeTV also works quite well, and is easy to use

TubeTV - YouTube and other flash video to Apple TV, iPhone, and iPod - Download and Export Software for Mac OS X

Hey, nice to see a place that respects a good computer. :P

Ok so right now I'm still on my G4 Powermac Quicksilver, which has served me well, but with new software demanding more than 1.6ghz of Proc. speed :P , I'm looking at picking up a Mac Mini and using it on my Apple Flat Screen.
Anyone got one? the ones I've used have run really well, despite not being very powerful... And I was wondering if I was just lucky?
It's either that or I save up for a Macbook Pro, my dad has one of those and it's pretty good.

Yes - this is pretty good - from the apple download site - Web2 Delight

"....picking up a Mac Mini and using it on my Apple Flat Screen. Anyone got one?"

Yes. Excellent little beast. Get the 2GHz one with a 160gig HDD and 2GB of memory. Only thing that lets it down a bit is the onboard Intel GMA 950 graphics processor which is good but not stunning.

:ok:

Ah yeah, they look good, surprisingly powerful for such a small thing.
Does yours make much noise?

No. Have to put my head near it to hear it.

:ok:

Mac

Norton? I stopped using it ages ago. It always seemed to be behind any crashes I had.

From an Apple forum....
" Symantec's tools have developed a bad reputation in the Mac world over the last several years and there's no question that for many users, removing Symantec programs from their computers improved their Mac experience tremendously. "

My feelings entirely.

Ah well! I have been a continuous user of Norton now for the last twenty years and I have NEVER had any problems of any manner!

C'est la vie!!


BTW,

I know, I could have posted about them one at a time, but, what the heck!

You guys deserve the best!

Please go to THIS and check out what is being offered!

I am already busy downloading!!

:hmm:

Wonder if some of you would please be so kind as to provide some information and/ or suggestions on a few points.
A little of a waffle perhaps but I want to explain why the Apple warranty would be so important to my travelling needs.
Posted a thread downstairs a few days ago, lamenting the lack of customer care on my Sony Vaio. Bought it less than a year ago in the USA/Sony dealer, warranty etc. Now it has a touchpad problem. Sony USA will only honour the warranty in the USA and will charge me $300 for shipping to San Diego. Sony UK tell me that if I send it to them in England, they will want £189 just to look at the kit. The South Africans will not touch it because that model, a cheapy, is not available there. The Germans, well, much the same as the English. In other words, it's not a company, it's a franchise with no recognizable service base.
I've been thinking of moving to a Mac for a long time, when my older little, tiny Vaio dies. Been put off by the fact that I am very, very unclued up on computers and those of the family who are good with the horrid things only know their way around PCs.
So, please, any feedback on dunces changing from PC to Mac.
Any feedback on the honouring of warranties in countries other than that in which the Apple has been bought. Surely Macs do go bust form time to time?
What really would be the competition for the Apple Air? It just feels right, like my VGN T2XP.
Thank you one and all.

Friend at work bought a US spec Macbook and has just had it repaired under international warranty in UK.

Specifically, AppleCare on the laptops has international coverage. The PowerMacs and iMacs are not covered internationally with AppleCare.

The only exception is the MacMini where the AppleCare has international coverage, being small enough to be deemed portable!

Where did you read that? I haven't seen anything on any of the mac forums I'm active on.

Flying Officer Kite,

Certainly, it would appear that hackers have managed to unlock the new iPhone 2.0 software, meaning that the iPhone could be run on any network. However, you have to deliberately run software in order to re-flash the iPhone to make it work. This is different from being able to do damage to a desktop via the iPhone in terms of viruses and dangerous code. Like fleebag, I've not seen anything along these lines.

What sort of problems are you having with downloading?

Something to do with This Article perhaps?

I am sure most of you already know this, but if you do not, this is a very nifty trick:


If you want to create a new note in Stickies from a text selection in another application, first highlight the text you want to include, and then type Command-Shift-Y. Stickies will launch automatically and create a new note with your text selection already in place.
