the ram usage situation in mac os really does blow. luckily ram is super cheap right now - but - i hear its gonna go back up soon so buy now...

hmmm... what kind of cpu do you have lee? i noitce 0 lag on my g4/400 - but - oddly enough - i have noticed that the two g4s at school exhibit VERY different performance than mine at home - same model bought at the same time - granted i have more ram at home and a slightly different hardware/software situation but i am the one who setup those machines at school (so i dont think its a config issue) and their performance is drastically slower then mine. they take forever to wake up from sleep. they take *forever* to boot up - waiting on a grey screen for like 3-4 minutes (i've checked to make sure its not looking for a network server, turned off the memory test, few other things.. any ideas???) and in general don't perform as well as the one i have at home. weird. some mac-made music: www.soundmangle.com/mp3s/mintyfresh-stitch.mp3 enjoy! :) peace ben -- ben milstein aka mintyfresh www.soundmangle.com - your tree for stinky munky noises... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Looking for a track Id on a song that goes (you guessed it): "Can I get a God damn.. [then slightly muffled] can I get a good God damn" Might not be IDM but couldn't tell you as this is the only part of the song i remember. Thanks much.
