I just bought an Imac... it arrives this week. My question. Can I use my macbook at work to log in and watch what's happening in my house through the new imac's isight cam?

Possible?

Any software you can recommend?

Maybe some other cool home security software out there?

Hate to spend a lot of money.

Thanks!

Noob here. I've done a forum search, but haven't found anything appropriate.

I have a relatively new iMac running 10.5.5 with Ruby and Python installed. I've downloaded both Ruby and Python IDE's, and can program amateurishly in both languages. The Python IDE invoked X11 without any action on my part.

I also have three PC's running Windows XP. I've run Turbo Pascal on one of those, and have been able to create .exe files that are portable to other machines and can be run simply by double-clicking them.

I realize that the iMac can't run an .exe file, and I realize that Turbo Pascal is a compiled language, and Ruby and Python are both interpreted languages.

When I run Python on the PC, I get a dialog box in response to an input instruction. When I use the iMac's Ruby or Python IDE, I get only the inline text prompt inside the IDE.

My question: how can I run a Ruby or Python program as an app on the iMac like I run a compiled .exe Turbo Pascal program on a PC? Please keep any answer simple and step by step, as I'm a relative noob and confuse very easily.

TIA.

I hope I'm posting this in the right spot... It concerns the new iMac, so I guess this is right...

Anyway, I'm one of the hundreds of people on here anxiously anticipating the possible (and highly plausible) launch of an improved iMac next January. Now, I don't really want a whole other debate on what the update will be, how much it will cost, whether blue tooth can penetrate aluminum, ect.

What I'm wondering is how does this macworld thing work? All I know is that SJobs will give hid keynote which introduces the new products, but when does this happen? Is it at the beginning or the end? Also, when he announces them do they appear in stores the next day, or does it take a week or two. How has this worked in the past?

Hello , I am really interested on getting a brand new iMac as my current computer is running slow and I don't want Windows Vista :P , as my computer is starting to , the top level unit . However I was waiting for january to see if there was any update on the iMac .

Now I see the apple store is closed ..... are we getting those Quad-Core iMacs right now ... on december 1st , just to rush for an x-mas spree ?

Post your comments !!!!
