    What I dont like about mac (tell me what you think)

    <complaint mode> Finder doesn't change the cursor when you are in the area that allows window resize - I'm regularly finding myself activating another window because I was just slightly off For that matter, I really want to modify the window size using any edge of the window (like Windows...

    powerbook G4 gray screen on start - tried suggestions from other posts

    I've done the recommendations on that page - except for booting from the Install disk (which is currently at home in another city) So, is there something besides resetting the pram and pmu that I can do? Thanks

    powerbook G4 gray screen on start - tried suggestions from other posts

    I clicked on a link on the San Diego newspaper website and the screen on the 15 inch powerbook G4 1.67Mhz I was using just went blank and the computer apparently shut down. When I attempt to power it on, I hear one chime, then the disk spins for a about 3 seconds, then the screen goes from...

    G4 printing through a network

    Actually, we've taken Linux out of the picture - we have the same issue when using a print server. OS X knows there's a printer there, it is requiring me to select the model from a dropdown list and my printer is not in the list. I don't know what Rendezvous/Bonjour is.

    G4 printing through a network

    Thanks. I've never heard of such a thing. How does one get that special driver? What do I need to search for? Who supplies it? Interestingly, the Windows machines on the network use their standard driver just fine.

    Similar query - I have existing websites that I created in (Windows) Notepad. I want to import them into iWeb. The pages all contain php code, so TextEdit isn't the best choice.

    X11 Remote

    The threads in this forum seem to be focused on using X11 on the Mac to run applications on the Mac. My issue is slightly different. How do I run X11 to access my Linux box applications? Basicially, I'm looking for something that will give a graphical (X11) rather than text (Telnet)...

    What Changed You???

    I switched from Mac to Windows in 1991 because I got tired of paying the premium for everything from printer cables to software. Also, I found every program I used at the time had equivalent or better versions for Windows. Windows NT and especially 2000 only served to confirm my decision. I...

    Hibernate alternative?

    One of the things I miss from Windows is the ability "Hibernate". I can't find an equivalent option on the Mac - "Sleep" on the Mac is like "Standby" on Windows and still uses battery. Does anyone know of a way to save the state of the machine to disk (so it isn't using battery) then...
