This is less unlikely as it looks as the system not was used so it never got hot etc. When stored at stable temperature, degradation will slowdown enormously. Especially heat and cold will influence degradation and cracked capacitors are most likely caused by bad fabrication and/or large...

Most likely it is set to a fixed address (the printer). A work around is changing the netmask to 255.255.254.0, which will expand the ip-range to the 192.168.1.x range. You can set that in the router and will have little or no effect on th workings of your network. Best is to set the printer...

If you want to prevent the old user from having access, either remove him/her, disable him/her or change the users password to 1 you only know. Otherwise he can mess around when you do not expect. Clean install ofcourse will remove everything (including all users and their access...

After resetting the password with the reset password utility, terminate the isntallation (do not continue) and restart your computer to boot normally again. If you continue, than the installation will be performed and you are in 'trouble'. Good luck, Kees

If the device gets an ip-number from your router, you can look at the DHCP configuration in the router and see a list of all distributed IP-numbers. Try those numbers and one should give you connection to the device. Also most devices come with software which can find the device and report...

Also you can take the mouse from the PC (if it was an USB mouse) and right click like you did on the PC. Good luck, Kees

Do you have a new mac ? Older macs might have a problem with e.g. USB 2.0. Also try the drive on another system and check if it is still okay (if not, maybe a bad cable or worse as jccarley suggests). Try another USB port on the mac (not through a hub, but directly on the mac). Take off...

Another suggestion. Take it back and take you laptop with you. Ask them if you can try the laptop on the available screens so when they have one you like, you buy it. They might even drop the charge for having the boxed opened. Also maybe the screen itself is bad and should be replaced /...

I would suggest that you return the drive to LACIE and have them fix it or better replaced. If you are not willing to do that, than replace the drive itself. Lots of people are happy with lacie and normally you only see unhappy people complaining. I do not get the impression LACIE is that...

Although I can say little over the software questions, the price you get for your mac seems to be very nice. You can try to look on the australian APPLE STORE site to find out how much the charge for their macs and/or find a APPLE shop at the new address and ask them (email or browsing their...

I have also used a setup with 2 monitors to 1 powermac g4, of which 1 monitor had actual an adc connector (so it took its power from the mac) and it worked fine for several years. So happy viewing with 2 monitors and yes adc to vga adaptors are available (see previous mail). Good luck, Kees

First unpartition your drive (using disk utils from the installation cd) and power down completely. Than after a few minutes restart (ofcourse from the installation cd shipped with the computer) and check if the partition is gone. If you use the cd's always, i can not be a virus unless the cd...

In the finder you can move folders to different spots in the window. This might not lead to changing its position in the map itself. Most of the time the option 'arrange on name' is on for symbol display. If you change that 'to raster' you can put the individual images anywhere you want (but...

Prices of memory has dropped huge recently, so the price maybe reasonable. But ofcourse the quality of the memory modules is the most important part of working fine with the computer. But if you see two companies with exactly the same memory expansion, the cheapest one is the best choice (if...

Also possible is to use a parallel to network printerserver. This should work fine (if you have the proper driver for the specific printer model) and makes the printer accessible for all computers on the network (if applicable). Good luck, Kees

As you can read, the first part of my reply = Although you need a good driver for the mac, so i covered that part too. Good luck< kees

Mirroring does not influence (at least positively) your harddisk performance and adding more drives is i think not that usefull. For performance increase, you need a raid configuration (i think 3 or 5), which splits information on at least 2 drives (write simultanuously half to drive 1 and...

Use it with someone elses computer / modem / router. If you boot directly into a user, you can run into problems too. I now get the user seelction menu (on a single person used mac) to prevent some issues with the network. You can try after e.g. a few minutes to release / renew your ip...

Even when USB 2.0 appeared not everything USB 2.0 called could do 480mb, the usb 2.0 speed. If you specify the kind of mac you have, most likely someone might know what kind of usb ports the system has. You can send any image over the internet, but remember that a picture of e.g. 100k takes at...

The only conclusion you can draw is that panther does not understand the flash disk correctly, either not the hardware or not the drive format. As initiate (format i guess) does nothing, it looks like panther does not understand the hardware correctly. Good luck, Kees
