    Installing Jaguar 6C92...

    There are two options a) Upgrade: Install 6c92 over your current OS X install. Provided that there are no install bugs or glitches, and the upgrade goes fine, it should work like any other OS upgrade, and your files should remain intact. However, the main caveat is that you will not be able...

    ibook ram - please help me tonight!

    My guess is that the dimms inside your ibook are the miniature kind called "SO-DIMMS" .....and therefore regular pc100/133 etc ram from your PC wont work [they wont even fit]. If your spare ram chips floating around fit in your ibook, try them out, so long as they fit they should either work or...

    defragmenting / fscking zip disks?

    You may want to try alsoft diskwarrior in OS9, i dont know whether it supports Zip drives, but there is a good chance it does. And if the data is recoverable at all, it will recover whatever is useable.

    Virtual PC for OS X

    I agree with the last guy. VPC [while useful] is pretty slow and and like using a bazooka to take out a fly on the wall. If at all possible, try to solve your problem by staying in OS X first, you will be a lot happier.

    Datek/Streamer w/IE5.2

    tested the streamer demo from streamer.com in IE5.2 , Omniweb 4.1 final, and chimera 0.3.1 didnt work in any of them, no applet comes up. If you rely on datek you may want to consider a) emailing them to establish a trouble ticket b) using virtual PC or a similar app to use datek online.

    xbox to lose M$ 1.1 billion

    I cant believe that people color their perceptions of Xbox platform success based on their personal console preferences, or company preferences. All console companies subsidize the hardware cost and LOSE money on their console. Nintendo loses money on their consoles, sega lost money on their...
