Taking advantage of the subject rrather than replying, hoping this thread may become s Stickie. My Mac: G4 QS upgraded to dual 1.8 GHZ, 1.5GB plus MB 2.0 Core Duo 2GB MB Leopard is fine, but as yet unused with Leopard except for iChat. Change background, iChat Theater, file transfer all work...

Throwing ya a curve...J C Whitney, an auto parts supplier in Chicago, has sold small, battery powered, digital thermometers (in/outdoor switch) for about $10. I bought a bunch and gave them to my kids. I used mine in my truck until replaced the truck. Installed the sensor on my CPU heatsink...

If you have a cable/DSL connection, you can set your desired home page in your browser, and then put the browser in the login items. I can't remember if I did this when I had a dialup ISP.

Just make sure the one you get is DOCSIS 1.0, and hopefully 1.1 capable (can be upgraded to 1.1). The Motorola SB4100/4200 and a Toshiba model(?) are the most common in my neck of the woods, per a tech from my provider. The Motorola units have an internal access URL you can use with your...

I bought my G4/733 Quicksilver in early July. The one thing I didn't think about when choosing this Mac was the 256KB cache, and the lack of L2/L3 cache. This small cache size doesn't really have much effect on my use I'm guessing that all of this is part of the CPU module, and the only...

Master vs Slave not really important to booting choices. Switching this designation has no effect on startup choices, and maybe nanoseconds in data access speed. It's like lights in your house wiring; where they are in the circuit has no effect on when you use them. Concentrate your efforts...

IIRC, that's shareware. Between MacJanitor (free) and Norton Speed Disk (never Disk Doctor!) you can get the same results. There is no need to specifically "optimize" Jaguar. Even the author of XOptimizer(Bombich)(free) makes this statement. Software like MacJanitor should be used only if...

I've read that there are conflicts with NS 7 and Mozilla 1.x when installed in the same partition....something about preferences. Wish I could be more specific. I don't have that situation, so I didn't bookmark them.

I can't get Chimera's tabbed browsing to work without keystrokes. NS 7 will do it with mouse only. Am I doing something wrong or missing something?

yokim, If you cut and paste his "example", you won't have to type anything.

Do you mean Desktop Folder icons, or folder icons in you hard drive directory?

All this discussion about Jaguar's value is moot...it is what it is in "the eye of the beholder". Time is better spent finding solutions to the problems with 10.2 and learning to fully utilize the new features in it. This is just one point of view, and we all know what that is worth. That...

From all of the posts I've read in this and other forums on Jag installs, it appears that those having problems often (but not necessarily always) have fiddled with the existing X version....moved files, etc. and then did not do a wipe and install, or archive and install. An upgrade will often...

I suggest you have a problem in Mozilla, if the Return key works in other browsers. Trash Mozilla (use Sherlock to find all of the files). Download and install a fresh version. You can't have a Netscape version newer than 4.8 on the same partition, because NS 6.x and 7 use the same storage...
