I am one of two techies at the elementary school where I work. I would like to deploy WiFi internet throughout the school. I intend to use WPA2 and MAC filtering. All routers will be configured to have the same SSID and (if in close proximity) different channels (3 or 4 digits apart). I...

I've never done this, but I'd think it'd work: Once you got one computer connected to the internet, (on the host computer) you can go to System Preferences --> Sharing --> Internet. Select "Share your connection from: Built-in Ethernet". Give it a minute. Test. If that doesn't work, (in...

If the screen flickered and is now completely dark, see if the following Apple discussion thread helps you: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2229101 The thread mentions the possibility of a faulty backlight. I've actually experienced both backlight issues and logic...

It's been some time since I played with OS9. See if there's a "Startup Disk" control panel. If there is one, make sure the computer knows that you want it to startup from the right place ("Mac OS 9 on Hard Disk", or something to that tune).

Either he got lucky, or he is a perfectionist sunuvagun: his whole message made it through. Or, perhaps he isn't: myself, I would have stood there with each message long enough for the video to show each message at least a second, and not just a fraction of it.

Try this link: http://software-dl.real.com/14368d961b1f1437b122//mac/RealPlayer10GOLD.dmg If it doesn't work, try this: No need to enter credit card info. Go to realone.com and look near the top-right corner: there's a blue button that says "RealPlayer - Free." When you click it, you...

I noticed that someone already responded to your query in Apple's Support Forum. It says pretty much what I would have responded. However, if you're not succesful, ring me up. I've been using AppleWorks' database feature in recent months and I've learned my share of things.

RacerX: I pictured an older person. I thought you were in your fifties. Your CPU collection and intellect threw me off.

Yup, gotta have AppleCare. To soften the blow, perhaps AppleCare should be bought months afte the computer is bought. I paid 1500 for my PowerBook and bought AppleCare for it when its warranty was about to expire. And yeah... AppleCare has already paid for itself. About five months after...

There are two things I take for granted: typing in the dark and moving the mouse pointer using a laptop's trackpad. Sometimes I forget how this is an inconvenience to most people.

My PowerBook G3 1.33Ghz has been giving me three hours of usage for some time now. I'll become concerned when it gets down to one hour. I've had it for almost two years. I'm thinking that although it would take a few months for a battery to go from holding a 5-hour charge to a 3-hour...

One question was left unanswered: what happens if the thief closes the lid as the computer rests peacefully? No one would try to carry a laptop unfolded, right? If the alarm remains on as the computer is being carried, it will certainly make a muffled sound... but will it be loud enough?

For about 1500 US dollars you can buy an eMac: Ignore the bit about the computer being Windows Compatible, though. :D If interested, you can purchase it at Office Depot of Costa Rica (Physical Store). To view the eMac as listed on the Office Depot page, visit Office Depot Costa Rica...

The Apple Store can tell you where to find a reseller: Apple Resellers in Costa Rica If you choose to email... Hola, visite tu pagina relacionada a computadoras Mac. Soy un britanico que esta a punto de inmigrar a Costa Rica. Desafortunadamente, debido a altos costos relacionados con...

According to a quick google search I just did, it's an iBook clamshell. Perhaps OSX is not the best OS for it, assuming it can even run it. What remains true is that to get past the question mark an installation CD would come in handy. Mac OS 9.x CD.

I use AirClick. It costs about 40 dollars. CompUSA carries it, as well as Fry's, I believe. The good thing about AirClick is that you can ALSO use it to control iTunes and more than ten other applications.

Command-o isn't good enough for you? Press command with the left thumb and the letter "o" with the ring finger.

It costs a little more than 20 bucks. For about forty bucks, I bought a AirClick. At first, the buttons seemed weirdly aligned, but after some use, it all made sense. You can use it to control Keynote, iTunes, PowerPoint, and about ten more apps. It uses radio frequencies to send the signal...

We're not that stupid! (We pour oil instead... it makes the machinery work more smoothly. :D)

I just re-read the original message in this thread. There are inconsistencies in what Amie has said, but I think we're supposed to infer from it the following things: Her parents are getting a new desktop. Given their decision to go with cheap internet (I think she said about ten bucks a...
