" Ghost Recon Update 1.0.2 beta
This update requires that you already have the update to version 1.0.1 above. It fixes a few minor bugs that we have received reports on, and also should fix a crash related to hosting games on GameRanger. We are releasing this update as a beta version, to make sure we get adequate testing. If all goes well, this same version will become the final 1.0.2 update."

See the linked page for mirrors of the updates.

"Mike,
Here is my article on the thermal issues I ran into with the PowerLogix 1.2GHz Dual Series 133 upgrade I put into a Digital Audio 533DP PowerMac. About the second half of it covers the water cooling project.
homepage.mac.com/rgazaway/WaterCooledG4/WaterCooledG4.htm
(NOTE: His .mac page no longer exists, but with his permission I've posted a cloned version (split into 2 pages with slightly downsized images) Here.
There's also an article here on the Systems page, G4 macs section on Water Cooled MDD G4 Tower.-Mike)
And I realize this is a bandwidth-heavy page. (Total size is just over 2mb.) You might want to caution your readers about that..
I just didn't like the appearance/visibility when I created it with reduced image sizes. (I suggested he break the article up into pages perhaps.-Mike)
This article is about a fairly esoteric modification with greatest applicability for those wanting to apply fairly expensive modifications/upgrades to fairly expensive machines to begin with. If they don't have broadband, let them eat cake <g>.

" iMovie 3.0.2 Update is available via Software Update. Unfortunately it does not solve the sync problem between audio and video!
Regards
Gulliver "

Here's the text from Software Updates:

" This software update provides improved performance and stability with iMovie 3. For more information on iMovie, see http://www.apple.com/imovie
The requirements for iMovie 3.0.2 are:

QuickTime 6.1 or later

Macintosh computer with PowerPC G3 or G4 processor (700 MHz or greater G3 recommended)

256MB of physical RAM

Mac OS X v10.1.5 or later (Mac OS X v10.2.4 or later recommended)

1024 x 768 screen resolution or higher "

"AirPort Base Station Firmware 4.0.8 is an upgrade for the Snow (dual-Ethernet) base station. This firmware revision is not necessary for the Graphite base station nor the AirPort Extreme Base Station. It is recommended that you use AirPort 2.1.1 or later software with this base station firmware release.

Version 4.0.8 adds the following:

Fixes an incompatibility with some customers unable to maintain an Internet connection using BellSouth via a DSL and/or Dial-up connection.

Provides base station support for DSL users with the Telia ISP in Sweden.

Expands the number of Access Control List entries. This is dependent on the size of the description used for each entry. The total amount of space available to import is 4K - approximately 300 entries with just MAC addresses and no descriptions. It is recommended that you export your current ACL list before updating to the 4.0.8 Firmware.

Expands the number of port mapping entries to from 10 to 20.

Fixes potential issues with sending email when connected to Verizon DSL services.

Improves compatibility when posting messages or sending email through secure websites.

The Airport Admin Utility has improved scanning for base stations across local subnets. This improves the ability for AirPort computers to find base stations while plugged into the LAN port.

Compatible with Internet service providers or other home router products that use private 10.0.0.x or 10.0.1.x addresses in bridge mode.

The reviews note some pricing info (looks like the 9800 Pro/128MB version will list for $399, like the prev. 9700 Pro originally did, I didn't see a price on the 256MB version).

On the Mac side as you know Apple lists the 9700 Pro as a BTO option but they're not shipping yet but soon I think (can't say more right now), to be followed by a retail Mac 9700 Pro model as far as I know. (ATI has a Mac 9700 Pro (OEM) product page online.) I keep hoping the retail Mac model will be R350 based (faster clock/memory than the R300/original PC 9700 Pro model) but that remains to be seen.

" Hi Mike,
Regarding Microsoft's RDC Client:
Frankly I have not been impressed like this for a long time. It is fast it is beautiful, and it is free. I had some installation problems, wrote few steps to explain how to prepare the systems, might save some time to other readers.
