A rather nice review -- I'd have said exactly the same thing. This old machine is a real problem for XP SP2 though. Key point is that a reliable document feeder is EXPENSIVE, and the home user doesn't value document feeders enough to pay what it costs to make a reliable one.

iMac G5 - upgrading the bundled drive

iMac G5: "I recently purchased a iMac G5 from Amazon using the link from your site. I plan on upgrading the hard drive when it arrives and it appears to use a standard SATA 3.5' drive. Has anyone else upgraded the hard disk in their G5 and if so whose product did they use?

[Apple's 160GB drive for the 20' model is a Seagate ST3160023AS, the same drive used in some Power Mac G5 models. There may be faster drives available, however. -MacInTouch]"

Microsoft's free Remote Desktop Connection Client 1.0.3 enables Mac OS X (10.2.8 and up) to connect to a Windows-based computer running Terminal Services or Remote Desktop Services and work with programs and files on that computer.

Remote Desktop Connection Client 1.0.3 for Mac provides improved stability when you minimize the client window and when you copy and paste data from the client window to Macintosh applications.

I've been waiting months for this ...

Update: Ok, so it's a bit disappointing. No way to control where the index file is stored. It doesn't seem to index anything but the c: drive (that's quite surprising, maybe something is wrong ...). Doesn't seem to index even a mounted drive-file associated network share. Oddly enough, some VPN software is incompatible with GDS.

Yeah, it's "beta", but Google's so-called "Beta" software is generally pretty good.

There's a good chance, however, it will improve quickly.
