Ahh yes, I suppose I didn't say, it would be your first one, a more red vs blue thing. And yes I have it scripted out. Thanks for the advice both of you.
Just wanted to say from looking at your signature you definitely have enough equipment to carry out your task!

Hello all, from Sydney Australia.
I'm not really new here - but I thought I'd post my story about switching - it wasn't the smoothest but I'm happy I did now :D
I bought my 17" iMac (with student discount of course) and my first thoughts were 'wow' as I lifted it out of the box. I put it on our polished timber floor downstairs, moved the box away and thought about how it could be some sort of sculpture! Amazing. I had bought it sight unseen, and I'd never seen or used OS X. My only experience with Mac's had been in first year uni.
Our house is completely Windows based... and so is our family business. I look after something like 11 PC's between home and work, so the reason I wanted a Mac was so I could come home to something with no hassle.
Wouldn't you know it though, within several weeks, I came home and my iMac was switched off (I normally let it sleep). I turned it back on, but not much happened. It got past the grey screen, I saw the 'Welcome to Macintosh' screen and that blue bar went wizzing past, but after that I saw the blue screen that comes up before the desktop and nothing more. I was very disappointed :(
After much help from some of you Macrumors guys (thank you!) I gave up and took my iMac to my local AppleCentre who kindly sorted it for me... I'd been able to back up my files by booting into OS9.
Anyway, it's now 9 months later and I couldn't be happier! I bought some more RAM on eBay for my iMac which made it snappier. I love OS X, it's just so 'nice' compared to Windows XP I use at work.
I'm looking forward to my first video editing session - of my cousin's wedding in May. Should be a challenge, and I hope I can show everyone just how good my iMac is!
Are there many Australians or Sydney-siders here?
Derek.

Hey, sorry if this is in the worng section, I wasn't quite sure where to post it.
I have a USB turntable/vinyl archiver however, I would like to be able to plug it into speakers and use it as a normal record player. Is that possible?
Many thanks :)

I noticed that some slides consistently add 3 or 4 seconds to what I type in ie if I type in "1" second, it'll show up as "4" seconds.
Check iMovie Preferences, there is an option to display times as HH:MM:SS or not. Change the setting from what it is, and I think that will solve the above.

There is money to be made by designing and marketing above average apps. It's not just about coding. There are several 100,000 other apps in the App store competing for visibility and customers. You've got to rise above most of them to make any money.
If you want to play around and potentially make money, play around with coding stuff that no one else is doing, or almost no one else can do or knows about to do, and create stuff that will delight customers (those are Apple's words) when they run across your marketing activities and press releases.
I started by playing around making apps for myself first, until I ended up making stuff that I thought potential customers might find unique and interesting.

Make sure that you enter the time correctly. Not at a Mac at the moment, but note how the time is displayed, ie 0:0:5(or however) and make sure you make it 0:0:3.

Hey guys, thanks for helping me with this. I'm sure there are probably other threads on this, but I may have a different situation.
I'm looking to update my firmware to 4.2.1 on my 4g touch that is jailbroken on 4.1. Correct me if i'm wrong but there is an untethered jailbreak for 4.2.1 right?
If so, how do I go about doing this? i've looked on youtube and seen people having to update to 4.2.1 tethered then somehow untether it. I have no idea haha.
My mail goal is to update my 4G iPod Touch from jailbroken 4.1 to jailbroken 4.2.1. Any help is appreciated!

I had the same issue regarding vpc image size. The vpc image does not decrease in size even after you delete files or uninstall programs. The vpc image only grows in size it does not dynamically get smaller.
You will need to manually reduce the size of the vpc image with this procedure:
This procedure is for Windows 95, 98, NT 4, and 2000 guest operating systems.
Be sure to backup any important data before beginning procedure, as this directly changes the guest image contents.
1. Defragment the guest OS hard drive.
2. Backup any critical data in the guest OS.
3. Download Eraser, (http://www.tolvanen.com/eraser/) and install it in the guest OS.
4. Run Eraser in the guest OS.
5. Select Edit->Preferences->Erasing
6. Select "Unused Disk Space"
7. Select "New"
8. Enter the description "Blank"
9. Select Add
10. Create a 3-byte pattern of zeros. On the "Custom Method Editor" window, near the bottom you'll see "Pattern" and underneath that, will be "Byte 1" (with 8 zeros), then "Byte 2" with a checkbox by it, and a greyed out "Byte 3". When you check the "Byte 2" box, the "Byte 3" will no longer be greyed out and you can then check it, thus creating a 3 byte pattern of zeros.
11. Hit Save
12. Select "Blank" under "Unused disk space"
13. Hit Ok
14. Select File->New Task
15. Select "Unused space on drive"
16. Select Local Hard Drives
17. Hit OK
18. Select Task->run on the previously created task
19. When finished, close the report
20. Exit Eraser and shutdown the guest PC. Make sure the guest is not in a saved state.
21. Use Virtual Disk Assistant on the Mac to reclaim lost space. Pressing "command+d" will start Virtual Disk Assistant.
22. Select Examine or modify existing disk image, and click the right arrow to continue.
23. Click Select Disk and browse to the location of the disk image to compact. Generally, this will be the Virtual PC 4 folder.
24. Double-click the disk image and click the right arrow to continue.
25. Select Reclaim zeroed drive space and click the right arrow to continue.
26. Click Reclaim Space.
Hope this helps.

Actually you can accomplish this through Javascript. Take a look here:

It took me a while to get it working thanks to my JS stupidity but it does work.

you know that folder in the finder where you see all your drives plus network which is named whatever your computer is named and has an icon that looks like an imac g4 (for some reason). well i want it in the right side of my dock like any other folder, but i cant find anywhere to drag it from. anyone know where theres a place to drag it from or how to make my own alias for it?
