    Weird item in trash won't go away.

    Hi. You may want to try Trash It! anyway. It might work on the XP side, and even if it doesn't, it's a great utility to have for the future. You've got nothing to lose... Off the subject, I get a laugh that the Windows OS's have used the pc-correct term "Recycle Bin" when we all know that...

    Weird item in trash won't go away.

    Problem burning CD's

    Hi. When I attempt a CD burn, it always ends with "burn failed, disk could not be verified". Some data comes through on the burned disk, such as about 50% of pictures if that's what I was attempting to save, and sometimes all items will appear on my Mac, but few if any will appear on a Windows...

    No screen/CRT illumination on Sage G3

    OS X to 9.2 Networking Headache

    Hi MisterMe! I tried the backward route you suggested of going from the 9 machines to the G4 via the Chooser. Still the G4 doesn't show in the AppleShare file server menu. Interestingly however, my daughter's iMac G3 running 10.2 does appear in the Chooser window as a selectable option. Why not...
