I used to use Desktop manager, a Spaces for OS 10.4 and I loved it, but Spaces has left out a number of features and I find it useless.
Everyone here who likes it uses it to partition apps, each app...

Coming from someone who has had their butt saved on a couple of occasions by DiskWarrior I hesitate to criticize them. In fact if there's a problem I'm already blaming Apple. I know in the past they...

Maybe the answer is in my question... Where is a new 30"???
There must be one coming as the new port and styling as well as the new LCD backlight make the 30" currently well outdated.

Not that bleak 2,152 Views / 51 Replies  
Personally I don't see any real proof that Apple is getting out of the display market, as we've noted they are in it by default, with laptops and iMacs, so they need to keep developing the tech.

MBP and 30" Cinema Display 495 Views / 1 Replies  
Hello All,

Really looking forward to getting a new monitor, and tired of waiting for Apple to update them. I think my best solution is to get the 30" and hook it up to a MBP.

Just to confirm that it runs fine on GMA950 under Boot Camp, so that points to either Cider or Apples OpenGL drivers. It will not work under MacOS, Parallels, or VMFusion. Since they bypass Cider it...

Wow! I'm severely disappointed... I think this is a problem with the Cider tech being used to run these OpenGL games? Otherwise i can't imagine why the card would be supported for Windows.

OK, to clear some things up, its neither a port nor a driver issue. It isn't a 1 way USB port, there is no such thing. USB is USB, as noted above if there was a such a thing even the printing...

It's getting ridiculous how out of date the Cinema Displays are. Not to mention that Apple hasn't stocked an iSight camera for longer than I can remember. The last Mac Pro announcement would...
