Referred to by its code name, Jaguar, Mac OS X v10.2 is a different breed of operating system. Jaguar combines the rock-solid reliability of UNIX with the ease of use of Macintosh. This version of Mac OS X is as innovative as the computers that run it. And whether you’re a Mac user who’s upgrading, a Windows user who’s looking at switching to the Mac or a UNIX user who loves the idea of using key applications like Microsoft Office on top of a state-of-the art BSD UNIX implementation, this is the OS for you.



Mac OS X v10.2 is loaded with over 150 compelling new features — like an instant messaging client that’s compatible with AOL’s, an enhanced Mail application that lets you filter out junk mail, an address book that’s an activity center for all your contacts, and a full-featured search engine so useful that you’ll soon feel lost without it.

The USB ASIO Driver





Ever thought about using your laptop as a synthesizer or digital effect-box? Did you notice there's some delay related to the computer's soundprocessing?
The USB ASIO driver is the solution. It enables buffersizes down to 32 samples (0.73 ms) and does an ultra highspeed USB audio connection, bypassing the operating system's audio.

This does not only give you low latencies but better sound quality also.

SoundManager (Mac) and MultiMedia Extensions (MME / Win) use non-highend sample rate conversion in order to sync the different audio signals from applications to the sample rates used on the external soundcard. And sometimes there's not even a way to control the rate to be the prefered one. (E.g. 48kHz instead of 44.1kHz.)

Using ASIO it's possible to do direct "one to one" hardware connections and even use higher bitrates (e.g. 20bit or 24bit) if supported by the device. Plus this driver can further increase quality by adding dither.

But of course, you need an ASIO compatible application like Cubase / Cubasis, Logic Audio / Micrologic, Reason, etc. If the app supports ASIO2 you'll be able to benefit from more features. Story ...

Network Printing

Use the chart on the right to select the Print Server that's right for your customer's HP printer.
Macintosh Printing FAQ.
Q: Can Macs and PCs share printers on a network?
A: Cross platform printer-sharing is limited, it's easy with NT/2000 and AppleShare IP print servers. Without a server queue Macintosh is capable of printing directly to a network-connected printer, equipped with the PostScript page description language. Shop for printers in the Accessories department at the Apple Store. Follow this link to HP's Mac oriented PostScript and non-PostScript printer offerings... Another non-PostScript, color ink-jet printer designed for the mixed network is the Epson StylusColor 900N (N is for Network!)
