    CRT Monitor is green in corner

    It almost always happens when speakers that are not shielded are used with the computer and placed too close to the display. Another source is Flourescent desk lamps. They can cause this if placed too close as well. Your warranty may not cover it as it could be caused by the environment and...

    15" AlBook- How 'bout them keyboards pressin' against them screens?

    ... on my AlBook. It looks great. The only thing I notice is when closed the display looks slightly warped. the right side sticks up a little bit and the left side looks like it just barely misses the case. Not a problem, the screen is perfect, but it is the ONLY thing I can find wrong with my...

    Loud iMac G3

    Believe me, I support a large Law Office with opver 20 of those crap fests and the Hard Drives are very loud. Some are worse than others, but it is definitely the drive. I am in the process of replacing about 3 a month just to quiet the machines. A nice 40 or 60 GB WD or Maxtor does the job...

    panther server for the desktop?

    ...Given that I have a fixed IP supplied by my broadband ISP, I'd have to wonder why they'd block me from running a server. After all, why would they give me an IP address in the first place? I know with Comcast, which is what I use, they do allow mail servers, just not web. Don't know why...

    Xgrid Project

    I'd like to join this, but my prefs pane gives up an err=1 window when it opens and again when I click start agent. I reinstalled it, but no go. App runs fine and does local demos no problem. Also, trying to join from app gives me a authentication failed message. Any one else seeing this...

    panther server for the desktop?

    Panther Server is Panther with some additional software added. It works quite well as a server, although any good network admin would cringe at the thought of a user at a server restarting after installing something or crashing the server and causing corruption of connected users files. It just...

    Macs aren't talking

    Is your iMac sharing in Classic or booted into 9? I have a feeling that the router may only be that, a router. If it does not contain a hub/switch then they are not actually connected together but rather you have two routed internet ports. Not familiar with this unit and I will go look for...

    You and Apple history

    My history starts with a Radio Shack (Tandy) TRS-80 with a memory expansion box. Then I got hired to teach computers at a school for art & design. There we had 8 Mac Pluses with 20 MB Apple Crate hard drives. We also had a gray scale scanner and a laserWriter II. Prior to the teaching part of my...

    Microsoft Office v.X License Agreement

    I realize this is an old post, but I was shocked to see some of the replies. I dont understand why anyone in their right minds would actually help someone steal software. This guy apparently buys one copy of everything and installs it everywhere he wants. To give him instructions to steal...

    Word and Memory/Save/Printer problems

    Hi All. I have several users including myself who are experiencing trouble with MS Word v.x 10.1.2. It seems to me it is a memory leak and the symptoms, like in the subject, are first, you get a message telling you to Add a Printer if you want to print. Of course, the printer IS there. The...

    Having troubles with a DVD RAM cartridge drive...

    I found out I had the wrong disks, right from Apple store. they told the client and sold them 4.7 gb dvd-r disks. Had to call Apple and hammer until they answered simple question without a credit card. You MUST have dvd-ram media that comes in a cartridge. My client did not have the cartridge...

    Screen is blue

    I have seen this and repaired a few iMacs already with this symptom. It seems to happen to older iMacs less frequently than newer ones, but I have had to replace 2 400 mhz iMac analog boards already. Not an easy job and in fact requires software and a special cable to complete the job. Typcal...
