    AirPort Express Base Station questions

    I'd say it takes ~30 seconds to "boot," yes it will remember settings and yes, any computer with iTunes on the network will be able to use airtunes to airport expresses connected to said airport extreme...and one computer can connect to multiple expresses (ie multi-room audio) :)

    MacBook for gaming?

    More info would be good (like what type of game you want to play or specific titles). If you're looking to play some sort "modern" of first person shooter, I wouldn't bother with the macbook.

    iPhone randomly quitting applications?

    Which version of the firmware are you running? I'd suggest restoring it (if possible), unlocking it and adding nothing else. See if that makes a difference, then add apps one at a time to see which one is causing stability issues.

    So why is it that the Mac OS X doesn't get all mucked up like Windows does over time?

    a few points, - registry vs. plists- it's incredibly easy to into the user or system library and find the plist(s) for a specific app and dump it in the trash. Hell, you can even use spotlight now to find them. Compare that process with cleaning up or editing the registry... - lack of...

    Entourage 2008 email trouble

    helpful advice: it might be that because you have the same server setup as a POP account, entourage won't let you set it up as an IMAP account. What kind of error or message is entourage giving you? honest advice: why are you using entourage in the first place? IMO, it's a huge pile of shit...

    how to make macbook into an MP3 player?

    probably two reasons, - the hard drive will spinning up a lot while the computer is moving around, if the sudden motion sensor doesn't constantly park the read/write head and cause music to "skip," you're pretty much asking for drive damage and/or failure - if you leave the computer running...

    w/out bootcamp drivers, everything has worked very well for me with vista ultimate on my athlon xp box. With bootcamp drivers for the keyboard (gain use of volume, eject, media keys), there's an issue of caps lock pretty much not working.
