    Can Mac OS X VNC client access Win Me server?

    It was a TCP/IP problem at the PC end. Works just great - why pay for Timbuktu when you can get this for free?

    distorted screen on reboot following 9.1 reinstall

    For some unknown reason my 9.21 Classic became unrecognised so I decided to re-install it. Since I had the original 10.0 CD set, I had to first delete the System Folder (9.1 will not install on top of 9.21), then install 9.1 and then run the 9.21 updater. Since then I frequently get a...

    Go to version tracker and get Samba http://www.versiontracker.com/moreinfo.fcgi?id=10346&db=mac Took me less than an hour to get it working and it works perfectly. You can exhange files VERY FAST between PC and Mac. This package enables you to mount the OS X drives on the PC for file...

    EPSON PhotoPC 3000z camera

    Anyone managed to get iPhoto to recognise the EPSON 3000z yet? I know it can recognise the 3100Z (but I don't have one) and that I can use their own application under Classic....but that defeats the point that Steve Jobs made the other day!

    H2 stop and restart an app from cron?

    I have an application that has a memory leak....it runs OK for two or even three days but then it starts to take up lots of memory (cf top) and slows the system down with paging. I would like to have some way to automatically kill it every day (say) and restart it but how to do that? I guess...
