Moon? Animals? Moon? Animals? I don't know! Why don't you just ask me which of my children I like best. They're unique, so they can't really be compared fairly. So anyway, I voted for Animals because: 1. Nobody else had voted for it yet :( 2. You'll never hear "Pigs on the Wing"...

One more for the oldies category. I'm 42, but people often tell me that I'm (acting) immature for my age ;) -tony April 7, 1959

Great Googly Moogly!!!

Hey Ed! Those are two of my favorites! I've been humming Joe's Garage ever since I read your post (and it sure beats Tony Orlando and Dawn!) I remember when Joe's Garage first came out (yes, I'm that old too). It was basically the story of my youth (except it was Jeff's garage), from the...

Hi Kinniken, You need a router. I've got a Linksys EtherFast Cable/DSL 4 Port Router (BEFSR41). It has 4 ports for your machines, but presents only one face to your ISP. By default, it acts as a DHCP server, but you can also assign your Macs their own local IPs. It will probably cost...

Jayem, In October I bought a 512 DIMM from crucial for my Quicksilver 733. With their free 2nd day FedEx shipping, it came in less than a day. I installed it, and have had no problems at all. I would definitely order from crucial again. Memory prices have risen considerably since then. In...

Hi, What do people use as a browser application helper for telnet links (telnet://. . .)? On my UNIX machines, I use "xterm -e telnet . . ." I would like to do something similar on OS X with the terminal.app and telnet. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks, -tony

Ooops, I guess I AM inept. That was supposed to say: BTW, tcsh doesn't appreciate it when I hit the ESC key ;)

OS X doesn't come with ksh, does it? I vaguely remember looking for it (a while ago), and it wasn't there. Is my memory starting to go already, or am I just inept? -tony BTW, tcsh doesn't appreciate it when I hit the <esc> key ;)

What you need is TransparentDock.

Thanks! It works great! I knew it had to be something simple.

Hi, When I launch Omniweb, it comes up as a small window (wider than it is tall). The first thing I do is to resize it to make it much bigger/longer. But whenever I pop open a new window, it's the same size/shape as the original small window. I'm beginning to find this extremely...

No, that's not a bug, it's a feature! :p

There's an excellent "How-to:" that describes how to empty trash of stubborn items here. It worked great for me.

A month ago I bought a 512 DIMM for my Quicksilver 733 G4. I bought it from Crucial (www.crucial.com). It cost me $54 and I've had no problems with it! They currently also offer free 2-day shipping. My only regret is that I didn't order 3 of them. -tony

Hi, My G4 has it's disk partitioned in two partitions, one for OSX 10.1, and one for 9.2. I occasionally have a need to boot from the 9.2 partition. I do this by holding down the option key when booting, then choosing the 9.2 root. When I do this, the OSX 10.1 root appears on the...

Check the System Preferences. Could your clock be set to display in 24 hour (military) time? -tony

Ditto. It couldn't have been easier. I updated my G4 (Quicksilver) to 10.1.1 last night. It took 10-15 minutes, rebooted, and I haven't had any problems with it yet.

Please do. I'm planning to buy an iMic, so I've been squirreling away various comments people have made about using iMic under OS X. It would be great to have all the info in one place though.
