Most pages are fine, got linked to www.orsm.net and their vids wouldn't display. Not being able to see orsm is a non-issue, but it does happen on other pages, just can't remember off the top of my head.
NSFW ....
:eek:

If you find a clean example, let me know so I can post on STC .... someone there can help ...

IS that just with the new iMac's I have a 1-2 year old G5 iMac I think, is it possible to do it with that??
Have a look on the back near the ethernet port. The mini-DVI port is about the same size and the symbol is a square with a line on either side

I'm running a second 20" display atm actually (though mine is an intel imac)

My G5 has a dual output graphics card - I have a 17" and a 32" running side by side ... it is awesome.

Ok well I have that port that tuplang said... do I have to have a Mac based screen to plug into it or can I have any other one? I am such a noob at mac's haha!

Ok sweet, and what cable is it that I will need to buy? a Mini-DVI cable or something like that? when I plug a new screen in will it automatically come up with install/setup options or?

What does the monitor take? VGA?
You will need an adapter, best get an Apple one - Dick Smith sell them and then whatever your monitor needs ...

:) Safari is faster (thankfully the latest firefox release has closed the gap a little!) but, I'm under the impression that firefox is a 'safer' browser than safari...?! (this is my reasoning for using firefox)

here is a question for all of you rotorburnians.
i work at mcdonalds and we have a computer site called "Metime" which we long onto to check our rosters and payslips etc.
my problem is this.
with my payslips, i click on the link which downloads them automatically, and it downloads it as .cfm, and i was just wondering if you can change the format of it somehow so that i can view it on iphoto or preview etc. any help would be appreciated.
Cheers Scott

That and Safari was doing weird things in Facebook for me, wasn't clicking links etc. Apparently a few other people have had the problem.
