    Does it makes sense to upgrade?

    Bonsoir, Hervé! I think it all depends on how much disposable income you have and if your current setup is sufficient for you present needs. Hardware will just continue to get better and better. You could wait forever if you always were looking for the best Mac. But, to be sure, OS X has...

    mon premier aquarium (Les premiers pas d'un aquariophile)

    Yes, but it's actually short for 'vertigo'. The green is a little play on the nickname...

    Can someone online quickly answer this question for me?

    Using TinkerTool is a convenient way to adjust the terminal transparency and a bunch of other stuff. Works great BTW, even though it's beta.

    Latest 10.1 update causes problems for OmniWeb

    I haven't seen the error, but I would recommend that you both upgrade to at least version 4.0.6. It fixes some things that were introduced in 10.1. The latest "sneaky peek" version 4.1sp4 is nice, although it crashes and has a huge memory leak. Kinda wild to come back to my computer in the...

    OS X: One White Pixel on TiBook

    I suppose it could still be the LCD screen, even though it disappears when you move your mouse through it. The pixel gets stuck with all 3 channels on and putting your mouse there resets the color properties for the pixel. Try massaging the area lightly with your thumb for a minute or so...

    Terminal: 'time'

    You may have figured this out by now, but the new build corresponds to the security update that you got when you ran Software Update. It fixed the problem where you could access root by going through 'recent apps' or something like that. There is an additional update that plugs a hole in IE...

    Hyperlink Text color change..., possible?

    Aha!! I'm beginning to see the problem here. I doesn't change when using OmniWeb (I like the pretty fonts...), but you are right! it does change when I tried it in IE. Mea Culpa! I should have tried it out in other browsers before gettin' all hot and bothered. Never mind...[he says backing...

    Anyone else having network problems?

    Maybe a DNS resolving problem in 10.1? I've had off and on success, but I think it has more to do with using OmniWeb 4.1 beta than anything else. Can you access pages that you have trouble with by typing in the IP, as opposed to the url? If so that would be a strong symptom that it's your...

    Hyperlink Text color change..., possible?

    The text on all hyperlinks stays the same color after you have clicked through. The simple solution would be to over ride that with the browser prefs - but that takes out the column formatting as well. So, I just wanted to ask if you could update the site so that links that were already...

    What password to use with ssh remote login?

    Kinda unrelated but..., I was troubleshooting an ssh connection this afternoon and someone mentioned that I couldn't ssh into my G4 running 10.1 because I didn't have an encryption key (per the post above). Not taking 'no' for an answer :) , I tried it anyway. Now my setup is a PC running...

    modem connection speed

    I'm not sure what they meant either, but it reminded me of the old DSP technology GeoPort that used to come with A/V Macs. Remember those? They used the DSP to emulate a modem and in theory could be upgraded indefinitely through software use alone. Problem was Apple drop support pretty quick. I...

    Hyperlink Text color change..., possible?

    Any response from those in charge?? A chance this request is taken seriously? I love the board, but the ordeal keeping track of all the links I have/haven't visited is unnecessary w/ the current state of HTML technology. OK, how 'bout this...

    Samba server (smbd/nmbd) problems

    I had the same problem after upgrading to 2.2.2, which instantly made my access to SMB unavailable from my Win box. The SWAT tool showed that smbd was running and nmbd wasn't. So I used the directions to delete Samba X (sudo /usr/local/samba/removesamba) and reinstalled 2.2.1. No luck. So I...

    DSL, OS X, and PC network problem

    Yeah, I just wanted to let the volunteers know in case someone else in this forum was coming up with the same problem. I am going to try and wipe my OS X installation today and start from scratch (I have a nasty network time error that keeps setting the date back to 1969 when I log out and back...

    DSL, OS X, and PC network problem

    After I got the SAMBA thing working, I still couldn't figure out how to get NAT set up properly. There is a lot of info on the boards, but it mostly centered around a NAT hack for Airport cards. Anyway, I found the simple solution on a German web page that made a reference to BrickHouse...

    DSL, OS X, and PC network problem

    OK..., This is getting a little one sided but I wanted to keep things up to date :) I finally was able to get SAMBA to work using this tool: Samba Server Config Tool (SSCT) 2.1 (link). I am still working on how to pass the DSL from my Mac to my PC.

    Hyperlink Text color change..., possible?

    I took a quick look in this forum and didn't see a mention, so... Would it be possible for you to format the HTML so that visited links become another color? This site is by far the hardest to keep track of navigation and visited links. I can turn off the option to use the pages colors in my...
