I just got a question from fellow iBAM reader Efrain. Here’s the question:

“I wanted to see what the specs were on my Hard Drive for my MacBook Pro. I know it’s supposed to be a 200GB 7200rpm hard drive, but I just wanted to confirm.”

At first thought, the easy choice for me was the System Profiler, but upon checking my system via the Profiler, I noticed that almost everything Efrain asked for was listed (and more), but I didn’t see anything for hard disk rpm. Now, granted, I could have missed it so thus the reason for this post.

There is nothing like the iBAM community I.Q.

What’s your favorite system info tool?

I got an email a few days ago for the “Ask iBAM” crew from Bob. Not being a big iPhoto user, I thought I’d share to see what “the crew” knew. Here’s his question:

So I have a little question and was wondering if you could help.

I keep all of my photos nicely organized in iphoto with albums for everything. The problem is that I just can’t find a simple way to make sub-albums or sub-categories so I can clump certain albums together. It would be nice if I could have a “Family” album and then under that sub-album of “Holidays with the cousins” or “summer at home” or something like that.

Any suggestions would be great and thanks in advance.

As always, you guys rock and I appreciate you jumping in to help a fellow Mac user out.

Fellow iBAM’er Ricky sent me a question concerning iWeb pages. I’m not an iWeb user so I thought this would be a great election into the Ask iBAM category. So here’s Ricky’s question:

Is there a way that i can receive comments on my web page that i created with iweb and my .mac account. I am wanting people to be able to communicate with me through there comments on my webpage if it is possible. you know like youtube lets you leave comments and then you can reply to the comments.

Thank you

Here’s my question: Does iWeb’s blog templates even support commenting? Off the bat, my thoughts are that there might be a difference in the functionality of an iWeb blog template versus a website template but I am not sure as I haven’t made one yet. Anyone out there have experience with these? Please enlighten us!

So… as you know, I have been feeding my del.icio.us links to the blog here for a few days now. Just so you know, I don’t intend on converting iBAM into a link list, so I will always continue my bantering posts as I find things interesting but, I’m curious about what you guys think. Have they been useful or are they annoying? Cast your vote via comments, I will listen! (and thanks in advance!)

Here’s another quickie for the “Ask iBAM” crew out there. This one’s from Bob and he’s trying to print on a shared windows printer from his Mac on his network. Here’s his question:

I’ve tried and tried and tried to print from my macbook through my network to a printer connected to a Windows desktop. It will find it and show it in the printer pane, but wont print to it. Maybe there is a program that simplifies this? Help if you can.

Thanks much,

Bob

I was under the impression that recent versions of OS X did this semi-effortlessly as long as you had Windows sharing turned on in the system prefs. Then all you need to do is browse for the printer and the OS does the rest. However, he seems to have further issues and I don’t have any way to test this so I’m going to rely on those of you out there with previous experience. Any advice for Bob? Post your comments here and as always, thanks in advance!
