    Panther Is Slllllloooooooowwwwwwwww

    It's quite true, and OS X makes far more use of the ram than OS9 did, you can actually feel the difference in just about any application. I've got 640 meg of ram, and Adobe Photoshop feels a little lumpy at times. I had over a gig in a one point and Adobe Photoshop just flew! But the ram...

    .bmp pictures not displaying in browsers

    About the only time I've seen .bmp images on the web is for desktop patters and stuff like that...

    Where is the vaunted OSX stability?

    The only hardware-related issues I've had have been strange ram modules and of all things, headphone mini-jack plugs with my iBook. So some reason, the screen goes blue [like when you log in] and the screen fades back in. A restart is then required!..

    First off, if you're going to have a pop at me, which you clearly did in your first post here, don't come over all surprised and hurt when I come back it you the same way. Not sure were you're going with that, but go on... I've been using pc's longer than I've using macs. In over a...

    sharing internet connection

    Nice one! Now what you want to do is scribble down your settings so that when you come to update your system or other stuff, you don't have to go around scratching your head wondering what you did last time. Sounds obvious, sounds patronizing .. but it's worth doing...

    sharing internet connection

    Sorry about that .. me being lazy. There is more. Go into System Preferences on your PowerBook and then select the Network button. Now click on the AirPort item in the list [I have a few, you might have AirPort and Internal Modem] Double-click it and then select the TCP/IP tab. In...

    sharing internet connection

    What you're wanting is what I have. The problem area might be your dial-up account. Your ISP might not like you sharing a connection between two computers, so you might want to check with them first. If all is fine, on the computer you intend to connect with, go in the System Preferences...

    .bmp pictures not displaying in browsers

    I could be wrong, but I don't think .bmp is supported _within_ web pages the same way .gif and .jpg are. It's taken a while for .png to get a foothold in the browser...

    wm9 on all DVD's?

    Fryke, we're all conversant with the details of the article. No one has misread or otherwise misinterpreted it. As I said earlier in the thread, give Microsoft an inch and they'll take a mile, never mind about a yard. Microsoft simply would not be doing this unless they had their sights...

    yes_another_ windows flaw...

    The solution is dead simple: if you don't like the thread, then you don't read it. If you think the thread is in the wrong place or not wanted, then you get a moderator in and let them sort it out. I'm not so precious that I'm going to have a hissy fit over it. However, I do take exception...

    ~/Home on the move?

    Yes, but I don't run OS X Server, I want to be able to do this with G4 and my iBook. In between trying to keep up with the hectic and largely indolent lifestyle of my girlfriend, I work from home...

    Internet Sharing on at boot

    This is odd! I use Internet Sharing between my G4 and my iBook with a AirPort. Under Jaguar, it would switch itself off after a restart, but under Panther, it stays up after a reboot...

    ~/Home on the move?

    Found the following here: What I want to know is, are we any closer to this? I know there was a rumo[u]r that Apple were going to bundle something like that into Panther, but didn't make the cut. And then the idea was revived and called: 'home on the iPod'. I let you -- fair reader --...
