The frying of circuits happens when it has power, so if it was spilled on but had a battery in it or was connected to power, it may already be toast.

Is there a desktop folder in your Home folder? Does Finder work? Try trashing com.apple.desktop.plist.

Try, from the Safari menu "reset Safari", then re-do your order. If that doesn't work, try using Firefox.

I had trouble finding a copy as well, but it looks like this will work: http://www.yourmacstore.com/shop/shopexd.asp?id=159 You may be better off with 10.3/4, but you need OS 9 for firmware updates sometimes.

With 10.4.11, you can buy: Parallels Vmware Fusion (emulators) Buy 10.5 w/ bootcamp and boot into Windows Attempt to use other emulators - Darwine, Crossover, etc. Not the best option.

This depends on whether you want compatibility (Tiger) or speed (Panther). In my experience, Panther is faster on G3s, but Tiger isn't too bad, especially with dashboard and spotlight turned off. Depending on your hard drive size, you could archive and install, to see if you want to keep Tiger...

You should be able to get DSL speeds with 802.11b, what happens when you are wired? Test your speed at speedtest.net. Do PCs test faster at that site?

If you have not reformated the hard drive, it will probably have the FAT32 format, which only can take files up to 4 or 6 GB, and isn't that great in general. Try reformating the disk as a mac format in disk utility.

Nope, it just verifies the install media.

What kind of Mac do you have, and how are you putting it to sleep? What third-party hardware is installed?

When you restart it should automatically start in normal mode unless the shift key is stuck.

Camino uses the same engine as FF, so probably about the same for speed. Opera uses a different engine (pretty sure..), but I don't find it any faster. Safari feels the fastest for me, but the 10.3 version is older. You might want to try webkit, not sure if it will work.

Did you rename your user folder? These are classic symptoms. OS X stores everything about your account in your user folder, and it will just create a new, blank one if it can't find the old one (because it was renamed). KB article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107854

I wonder if you problem would be related to this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4108562 looks like a hardware issue - try reseting the PMU. Other possible fixes in the link.

What kind of phone are you using? When you say lockup, do you mean kernal panic - a dimmed screen with the text in the black box? If the input devices will not respond but you don't have a kernal panic, check to see if the time changes.

Why can't you download the script? You can look for adobe-related files with spotlight, perhaps.

Do you have any widgets that use the iSight? Look in Activity Manager for any processes that might be using the iSight, or post the list here and we can investigate.

I'm guessing that your old system folder is disabled - it gets renamed on archive and install. Your Leopard install suffered an early death, so it's not bootable. At least, I hope that's the case. Try booting up while holding the option key. You should see 2 or 3 options - Tiger, Leopard and the...

This might just be that the G4 hardware is different from your other macs. A quick fix would be to set display sleep to whatever you want, and computer sleep to ~ an hour.
