Some more detail about these "obscure warnings" might be useful.

After upgrading to 9.2.2, when I open Eudora, I get messages from Norton Antivirus that it thinks I am installing software: You appear to be installing software. Do you want Norton Antivirus to suspend the display of virus-like activity alerts during installation? This message appears...

Actually, I still do need this information. The only thing I've found out so far is that the Macally Firewire drive enclosures are not bootable. I will look into the Maxtor, though. Thanks!

I think this site should answer most of your questions: http://www.kingston.com/tools/umg/newumg10.asp If you want more detail I can try to answer your questions.

slp is an acronym for "Service Location Protocol" (which is how the "Connect to Server" window finds servers), and ipc is an acronym for "Interprocess Communication", which is how processes in UNIX talk to each other. This file is probably a FIFO for the processes that deal with Service...

I also have an Iomega ZIP CD, that came with limitied version of Toast 4. To make a bootable CDs, I actually had to create a new partition, that I use a staging area for making CDs. I put a blessed System Folder (and any other files I need) on this partitiion, and then burn the CD from there.

just to clear something up, HFS+ does not have a 31 character filename limit. I believe the limit is 256 characters. OS 9 had a limited of 31 characters, but this was a limit imposed by the OS, not the filesystem.

Had to throw in my 2 cents on headphones: http://www.gradolabs.com These are the best headphones out there, IMHO.

I've never designed a web app with a Flash frontend (or anything else with a Flash forntend, really), but I assume it can't be a whole lot different from a web app with an HTML front end (which I do have a bit of experience with). Hopefully I can nudge you in the right direction. Let me know...

Is this a blue/white G3, or one of the beige towers? There is a firmware update for the SCSI card that shipped with blue/white G3s. I don't know if it would make any difference, but it might be a good place to start. Go to asu.info.apple.com and search for 60409 You should also run...

Check out this site: http://www.yale.edu/chinesemac/pages/os_x.html which describes the current situation (there are 2 different versions of the 10.1 CD, even in the States apparently). That site also has all sort of other useful information related to using Chinese on a Mac.

I need to think more before I post. AppleScript doesn't do much on it's own, it simply tells other applications to do things (e.g. to copy a file, you tell the Finder to copy a file). So, if you aren't logged in, and the Finder (or other apps that you are trying to script) isn't running...

You do not necessarily need to learn another scripting language. Open your existing Applscript is OS X's Script Editor (found in /Applications/AppleScript ), make any modifications that may be necessary to make them run under OS X (shouldn't be very much if you are just scripting the Finder)...

I've read in the Apple Knowledge Base (Article ID 58606) that all recent Firewire equipped Macs support booting from a Firewire device, but the article implies that not all Firewire devices support being used as a boot device. I'm looking to get a Firewire drive, and I don't care about...

On product that would do this for you is DAVE (see http://www.thursby.com . I have not used the OS X version, but the Classic version worked quite well.

When you have a brand new, unformatted (or PC formatted) disk, the first thing you need to do is to initialize it using the Drive Setup application. Your Mac OS CD (not OS X. The OS X installer may recognize unformatted drives and offer to format them for you, but I'm not sure on this)...

Some of the settings for Sharing seem to be in /etc/hostconfig This file doesn't have the setting for FTP access or Remote AppleEvents, so there is obviously another file somewhere, but I can't locate it. This may be enough to make things work for you though. Here is an example of a setup...

I think you need to edit /etc/hostconfig The comments in this file indicate that it is maintained by "system control panels", but I don't see GUI anywhere to change the hostname. Anyway, the first entry in this file probably currently looks like this: HOSTNAME=-AUTOMATIC- Try...

When you first install OS X, it should have put an alias to your OS 9 Desktop on the OS X Desktop. If you've deleted or lost this, here is how you can get it back: Open up a Terminal, and type the following: cd ~/Desktop ln -s /Desktop\ Folder Desktop\ \(Mac\ OS\ 9\) The first line...

It would appear that Services still don't work for Carbon apps (I thought I read somewhere that this was not true in 10.1, but it seems that it is), and the Finder is a Carbon app. Try using a Cocoa app (like Omniweb, Terminal, or TextEdit). When you select text in a Cocoa app, you can do...
