The 15" LCD tops out at 1024x768 resolution. Keep that in mind when making your decision. a 17" CRT can go much higher, typically to 1600x1200.

I believe the graphicss chip is soldered right on to the motherboard. You can't upgrade.

Ok, so what if it is an Applescript, like the Simpsons worm? Or disguised as an OpenOffice document? I think you have too much confidence in the smart people at MIT. I work at one of the county's finest universities, and the faculty here still open attachments without thinking.

Yes, but how many users sit down at the console of those Linux servers and download and run email attachments? Computer viruses are a social disease. The most common Windows viruses that I've seen in the past 2 years (I work in tech support) spread by tricking people into opening...

There may not be very many mac viruses now (and none that effect OS X as far as I know), but don't you want to be protected in case something does come out? I do.

I don't buy it. It looks a lot like the video out port on the iBooks (and new iMacs?). I do remember reading somewhere once that Apple's prototype motherboards are red though.

actually, I just downloaded the script and took a look at it. I noticed a couple of things: The script won't do anythingn without POST data. So, if you try to access http://localhost/cgi-bin/guestbook.pl it won't do anything on it's own. You will have to access it from the form instead...

HTTP 500 errors usually indicate that the script died before it even got the chance to send an HTTP header. perl doesn't keep it's own error log as far as I know, but Apache will keep track of errors generated by Perl scripts run under CGI. Look in: /var/log/httpd/error_log I don't think...

\n will do a newline \r does a carriage return

That's a good idea, Ed. I believe you can also hold down command-X at startup to force it to boot into OS X. It's been a while since I've done that though, so I can't say for sure that it works in 10.1. As for reinstalling, as long as you use the original disks that say "Install" on them...

There are a few PPTP clients for OS X now. Take a look at this page: http://www.versiontracker.com/mp/new_search.m?productDB=mac&mode=Quick&OS_Filter=MacOSX&search=pptp I don't know the first thing about actually using them or configuring them though, as my ADSL provider uses PPPOE.

There's no reason to muck about with the Apache config files at all. The default setup has everything SimX needs. All you need to do is activate web sharing, put your scripts in /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables and chmod to make them executable. Now point your browser to...

I'm trying to come up with a way to make the process of connecting to Samba shares easier. If I mount them the normal way using the Finder, I can then make an alias to the share, and use this alias to mount that share in the future. However, each time I double-click the alias, I get an error...

Depends on the application. Generally, source code that you download comes with a README file that describes the build process. Usually it is as simple as executing the following three terminal commands ./configure make sudo make install from the source directory. Some apps may also...

or in perl: #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use CGI qw/:standard/; my $txtText = param("txtTest"); print header(); print p("You entered: $txtText");

It's been a while, but I think everything referred to in the thread is based on using LPR to share the printer. As far as I know, Win98 cannot share printers via LPR, so I think you are out of luck. Jaguar may include the ability to print using SAMBA (this is the printer sharing method that...

Actually, not every mac is "smart enough" to do this. Luckily, the Powerbook G4 can do it. Here is a list of the others: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42717

There is an Apple knowledge base article (106857) about the black stripes that basically says they don't know exactly what causes it or how to fix it. I had the black stripes through my icons once, and fixed it by resizing the icons. If I remember right, they would still have the stripes when...

Another thing to try: I wonder if you might get a better idea of if it is really doing anything if you omitted the -y flag (the -y tells fsck to answer "yes" to any questions that it may ask. Perhaps it really is doing something silently, and not notifying you?). Please report back the...

Are you sure you are starting in single user mode? That prompt doesn't look like a single user mode prompt, which would be just: # To start in single user mode, you have to hold down "S" (or is it command-s ?) while booting. I think that it is important that the filesystem is mounted in...
