Hey all - I have a powerbook g3 300mhz running 10.1.5. I want to get one of the linksys wireless routers. http://www.linksys.com/Products/product.asp?grid=23&prid=173 I don't have an airport card so I'm really just checking out my options as to what cards I can use with it and the...

Thanks! I'm checking out the sites now. I have a book here that I bought a few years ago - "Teach yourself c++ in 24 hours". I never really got into it except for a few times - the book came with a cd with compilers for windows, but not mac, so I didn't have the same setup as that in the...

Hey all - Just messing around with project builder and the other apps, but I don't have any idea what I'm doing. I have a basic knowledge of C/C++ but have never done any real programming. I know php and some other javascript type stuff, but wanted to get into Cocoa. Does anyone know of...

Hey, I just ordered a 30gig drive for the powerbook, shouldn't have any space issues then! Anyway, one of my thoughts was to just copy the whole System folder from X onto the other computer, than make an alias of the System Folder and place it where the system folder was on the X drive. I'm...

yep - just found that out last night. :( Anyway, I installed vnc, and it's faster than using 9 in classic anyway. Just did a complete reformat and reinstall of x only, this is close to perfect! J5

TinkerTool rocks! I turned off anti-aliasing, and my mac is useable again!!!!! Wohaa! Before, scrolling thru webpages and such was painfully slow, now it zips right along. Thanks for the link! Anyone know how to change the font of the desktop icons tho?? I managed to change the rest, but the...

Ok - here's on for y'all - I have an 8500 w/g4 card running os9, and a powerbook g3 with X. The pb drive is only 2 gigs, so I had an idea that using file sharing I'd set up X on the pb to boot classic off of the 8500 os 9 install. I haven't even tried to do it yet but I wondered if it was even...

Just got an 8500 with a g4 card. Pretty nice machine with the video in/out, rca audio, etc. It has pci usb card in there - anyone using the usb drives? What's the general opinion on usb hard drives? good - bad?? I have an ATI rage 128 video card for a pc, but I heard somewhere that it's...

Right on Jadey! I'll check that out tonight! ElDiablo - I don't think I'm going to test it out, I believe you! One question - I have an aging g3 with a 2 gig drive, so is there any performance/disk space to be gained from going with a unix part? J5

That's just it - I can't remember!!! I just thought that there were more options with appearance, etc. One thing I know I want is to be able to turn off anti-aliasing for all text, not just text below 12 point. Also, I want to change the font used for stuff on the desktop. I think...

Hey all - I just installed 10.1.3 on my powerbook, first time in 10 since the public beta. I was holding out because my ethernet adapter wasn't supported in the beta. It works fine now tho! Just wondering, I remember the beta having a ton more preferences and options for tweaking the system...

Yeah - I thought about selling it, but I got it for free. Plus my budget is alot closer to being able to include a firewire card and stuff vs the new g4 I'd want to get. (the biggest, fastest, mostest processorest...) My thought was to install as much ram is it can handle(1024megs), install...

That's what I figured. I'm thinking about getting a firewire card and a big fw drive for the g4 - that should speed things up a bit. Anyone know if it'll boot (os9) off a firewire drive? Also, any software that I can use to take advantage of the g4 card? J5

Hey all - been a long long time since I've been here! Good to see the site still in action. Here's what I got: 1 powerbook g3 233 w/os x and 2 gig drive. 1 8500/180 w/g4 card and 2 gig drive - os 9.1 1 huge 21" oldie-but-goodie apple display Here's the problem: I have only about 500...

Update - I just checked the Farallon site. It's gone. It's some new site, with no new osx driver for my e-net card. WTF?? I bought this card just over a year ago! ARGHHHH..... j5

This may be off topic now, but I just realized the one big thing that Apple forgot in OSX. THE UNINSTALLER FOR OSX!!! If you use a seperate partition, you should be able to get rid of it easily, but if it's on the same (only) partition as your 9, forget it. It's the biggest pain in the...

Good idea Judge. My biggest problem with classic is the time it takes to startup. If we could get trublu starting up at the same time as say, desktop, then it maybe wouldn't be such a long wait.

Makes sense. but when it does come out(the final) I want to be able to turn them off or on anyway. I want the customization! Thanks for the insight AK.

Seems to me that they always minimize in slow motion! Of course, that's on my beige 233 g3. Yes, Aqua looks really cool, and the in-laws are indeed impressed, as I was for about 5 minutes. But now, it's just slow. I think Apple needs to add some customization features, like when you...

TextEdit also produces plain text, or ascii text too, but I've noticed a bug. When I make a new php document, and put some html in there along with my php code, it works fine, until I close and later reopen that doc! All of the code is gone, and it attempts to display the html! I haven't...
