Where is the best place to find Mac G3 B & W monitor help?

I have a G3/350 rev. 2 Motherboard running OS 9.2.2 and an Apple 17" studio CRT monitor
The machine is working fine except I have been through 3 CRT monitors over the past year. I could use some reliable guidance as I attempt to troubleshoot this issue.

In addition to the total number of hours of previous usage, the internal components of CRT displays can age, even when they sit unused for long periods of time. The ambient temperature range of the location where stored can hasten this process. Your (3) CRT displays sound as if they fell victim to flyback transformer failure, which typically occurs when the insulation on the windings degrades and allows arcing to occur. As for the surge protector, if there were a reasonably strong voltage spike on the electrical lines to your home that the surge protector had to absorb, any further protection capability would have been zapped. With no LED lit to indicate protection, a damaged surge protector may continue to function as a power strip. If a voltage spike had damaged your displays, I think it would also be likely that other connected devices would have been affected, like the computer. If the power cord had an internal open-circuit defect, the display wouldn't function at all. If the cord had an internal short-circuit, it would trip the circuit breaker on the surge protector (if it has one) or in the panel in your home. Good quality surge protectors protect each receptacle on the strip, so it's preferable to connect the computer, display, and peripherals individually to it. That's why I'd never use the adjacent power connection on the computer's power supply for the display.
"I picked up another studio monitor from a friend to try. It has rarely been used and is in mint condition..works perfectly on her G3/350 B&W. I have reservations about hooking it up to my machine before I am sure I won't hose this one as well."
Unless this is a long-term loan, I don't know what you'd be able to determine by temporarily connecting your friend's display, since you got at least (3) months of service life out of the other 17" Studio Display. If I were going to loan an older Studio display in mint condition/perfect working order to someone who had experienced your problem, I'd accept the possibility that my display might also become damaged. With that in mind, I suppose that your friend would be understanding, if her display met the same fate as your others.
If you decide you'd like to purchase a new, widescreen display, I think I'd change my previously-written suggestion for a graphics card upgrade, to finding a slightly newer/used G4 with an AGP graphics card slot. This would broaden the selection of compatible upgrade graphics cards, if one were needed to support the 16:9 aspect ratio of the new display. At some point, spending $$ on a 12 year-old B&W G3 isn't a good investment, when the same amount of money could provide the benefits of updated technology.

Where is the best place to find Widgets?

Obviously there are lots and lots of different widgets out there, some free, most not. Where is the best place to find a good package of them that won't cost me an arm and leg?

Personally, I'd recommend my site, but I'm a little biased
However, Adobe just launched a new directory that lists many of the widgets available, no matter who develops them. You can go to MuseWidgets.com to see the directory and search and find one that does what you're looking for.

Where's the best place to find Quartz Composer experts? (looking for a developer)

I'm looking for a Quartz Composer developer who is 1) interested in working with an artist and 2) can give me a quote for a specific project I am developing.

Apple hosts a bunch of mailing lists, one of which is for Quartz Composer devs. I read the list occasionally but have never really had the time to become proficient with QC.
Start here for general info about Apple's mailing lists: http://lists.apple.com/
Then click the "Lists hosted on this site" link to see all the various lists. You'll have to subscribe to quartzcomposer-dev in order to post your questions to the list.
The list is intended for technical discussions related to development and not really for job solicitation. But the usual folks on the list seem relatively friendly for the most part so I expect if you asked nicely and took any negotiations off-line that you wouldn't receive any flak.

Where is the best place to make a slideshow with pictures and music on a mac?

Where is the best place to make a slideshow with pictures and music on Macbook Pro?

There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
(Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

Where's the Best Place....

Hello once again,
I have yet to purchase my MBP, and I am wondering from all of your experiences, where is the best place to buy a 1gig 3rd party RAM. Paying all that money for Apple's RAM isn't that way I want to go, but if there's no recommended 3rd party companies, I may need to cough over the bucks...
thanks,

Fair enough. I wasn't actually suggesting buying from Crucial.The best source for the 1gb Crucial was Newegg.com at $150 - but this is also for a chip that Apple are supplying as original ram so it's not a bad price. I didn't know Crucial sold Samsung - seems a bit odd as they are owned by Micron who also supply Apple as OEM. Business makes for strange bedfellows:)
OWC sell their own branded ram for $112 or so and Samsung M470T295CZ3-CE6 (as also supplied by Apple) for $170. What I was saying was that this Samsung chip,
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Samsung/53SDR2SAM1GB/
can be found for as little as $120 - so OWC are a tad expensive for this particular chip if that is the one you were thinking of buying.
It sounds like you're going for the OWC own brand, so I can't recommend a cheaper source for that and they know a thing or two about ,macs so there's no reason to not trust their judgement.
Best of luck
Cheers.

I often wish when I select a word to right click and choose dictionary to to find out the meaning of the word. Currently I have to copy, go to a dictionary web page, paste and search. And I spent a lot of time for that. I'm not that technically oriented to suggest how this can be achieved but just as an idea, may be Mozilla can partner with dictionary web sites by making a plug ins or include a dictionary with Firefox itself

I am sure there are Extensions that do this.

Where is the best place to save my projects?

I dont know if I have been saving my Project right but I also have a external hard drives and I thought I was saving it their but I check it today and their is nothing on it . Where is the best place to save it or do I even need the external hard drive? Thanks

No idea what you might have done wrong...
By default your projects are saved in Macintosh HD/Users/~<name>/Music/Logic/ folder on your boot drive. Check it first.
You can also try to open your project again using recent files list in Finder or in Logic itself. Then you can find the exact location of your project folder: in the Arrange select an Audio region and go Audio -> Show Selected File(s) in Finder. This will open Audio Files folder in the project folder (well, this will work only if external files are included in the project's assets).
Another method will be using Spotlight (click on magnifying glass icon in the upper-right corner of the screen to open Spotlight and type in your the name under which you saved your project).

Where is the best place to buy the new ipad? Please help

I am ready to buy a new ipad. There is no apple store in my town but I will be close to one in a couple of days. My town has Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. Assuming I can find what I want... in case I have issues with it, where is the best place to purchase from?? (as far as ease of return, etc). Please advise.

Dah*veed ..... I do not disagree with what you said about the AppleCare+ protection plan as it does state on the website that proof of purchase is required - IF ... You purchase over the phone. Actually, I did not expect to be able to do this over the phone, but as I said I received the paperwork today via email.
I copied this from the website and I'm typing this on my new iPad so it may come out a little distorted but you can read the sentence at the bottom that says it can be done over the phone with proof of purchase. I gave the rep my serial number, confirmed my address and CC details and the deal was done. I even called back later in the day to make absolutely certain that I did in fact purchase the AppleCare+ plan that has the two incidents of accidental damage included for a $49.00 charge. The rep did in fact confirm that I did buy the correct plan that I wanted and I am looking at the printed paperwork confirming the whole thing.
Maybe I just got lucky!
iPad - AppleCare+
Every iPad comes with one year of hardware repair coverage and 90 days of telephone technical support. AppleCare+ for iPad gives you two years of repair coverage and technical support from the original purchase date of your iPad. And it adds coverage for up to two incidents of accidental damage due to handling of your iPad, each subject to a $49 service fee.1
How to get AppleCare+
You must buy AppleCare+ within 30 days of your iPad purchase.
There are three ways to buy:
From the Apple Online Store: When you order the new iPad or iPad 2, you’ll have the option to add AppleCare+ to your cart before you check out.
At an Apple Retail Store (requires a Genius Bar appointment, inspection of the iPad, and proof of purchase).
By calling 1-800-275-2273 (requires proof of purchase).

Where's the best place to store email templates?

Hi all;
In a web app I store all my email templates in a files folder in the web app. Can't do that with a worker in a cloud service - no files. So where's the best place to store them? In a BLOB? And if so, is there a way to have files in my project get automatically
written to BLOB entries when I publish?
thanks - dave

Hi,
I think we could use azure blob to save files.
>>is there a way to have files in my project get automatically written to BLOB entries when I publish?
If you choose azure cloud service, you could write the upload code at role onstart method. If you choose Azure website, please consider use azure webjob to do this, refer to

Where is the best place to implement business logic in ADF application?
I mean something like service layer in Spring
Appreciate your comments

Mohsen

Depends on what your logic does and what data it deals with, but in general business logic is in the ADF BC layer.
Some goes into entity objects - for things like attribute or row validation.
Some goes into view objects - for things like calculation.
Some goes into AM - for things like service methods for UI clients.
