Sorry for the few days' delay in responding. It's what happens to full-time students. :rolleyes: The texts I'm looking for are part of the Libronix Digital Library System. Here's the URL for the system itself (but not the texts I want): http://www.logos.com/products/ldls/ So, no, these...

I just ran a search using "emulat*" for the last six months on this site and didn't come up with anything new that was terribly relevant, so here goes: As a grad student with no money, I'm always looking for free or nearly-free stuff. For the first time ever, I'm also running into some...

Ok, so if autonegotiation is not a problem with Apple hardware or software, then it's a router (in my case, Linksys) problem?

Actually, the router and DSL modem are two separate boxes. I got the modem direct from my ISP (Earthlink, Apple's preferred partner over here in YankeeLand) and the router (Linksys) from a third-party retailer. My G4 and iBook both have (only) 10/100 ethernet; only the newer (+/- 1-yr old) G4...

1. I assume that "58%" is not too full for an HD? ...that everything else on this particular test looks ok? (I really don't know how to interpret the data.):rolleyes: 2. Are you saying that "User" includes "network setups"? FYI, I have DSL, linked to a router connecting my desktop and...

Let me try to answer your questions in nearly reverse order. First (um, I thought I included this info before, but...), these problems are on a first-gen G4, i.e., "PCI Graphics" G4350MHz. I have 800+MB RAM; should be plenty for what I do. I'm not surprised your G4933 runs circles around my 350...

I got to your suggestions last (like in the last 1/2 hour or so), but this is what I found for uptime: [g4350:~] brad% uptime 11:30AM up 1:51, 4 users, load averages: 1.09, 1.12, 1.03 From your advice, it looks like load averages [= values?] are well, below 5, which I guess is a good...

Ok, it seems like this is something I could spot easily using top in Terminal or Process Viewer, right? The question that I ran into (if you've noticed my replies, above), is that I did NOT find any 3rd-party apps misbehaving in this way, only essential-looking, root-ish stuff like...

As you can tell from another reply, Disk First Aid didn't seem to turn up anything significant. I did try that Single Use[r?] mode and boy, was that freaky! Seeing my Mac come up with a real terminal (with a small "t") black screen w/ white characters was like something I hadn't had to deal...

Oh, BTW, as you can tell from my reply to others, my current highest-usage processes are running something around 10-20%. I suspect my relatively higher numbers are due to what is probably my relatively lower-performing CPU/RAM, though you don't seem to list the specs for your system...;)

Ok, not yet being quite the Terminal wiz I'd like to be someday, I was real scared to shut down things like TrueBluEnv, let alone top and similar essential-looking processes. What would have happened if I had? Any way to tell what is essential and what is not?:confused:

Ok, this is what I've tried: I booted into OS 9. Yes, it seemed pretty zippy (although I don't know of/don't have any objective measure like that you find in process viewer or terminal). Then I rebooted into OS X and lo and behold the CPU% overall dropped from an average of 70-90% to something...

Um - what's a memory leak?

I've searched and searched and not found a thread that seems to address my problem. Which is - I installed Jaguar on my trusty G4/350MHz/PCI Graphics machine (~800MB RAM) and at first it ran GREAT. Quite a bit faster compared to 10.1.5. I run CPU Monitor all the time in the dock (I love the...

I've been using Entourage for about a month now. It's the first calendar/address book/to-do program I've tried, and I like it pretty well. The real clincher for me to use Entourage vs. Mail is that I have had a Hotmail account since, like, forever, and everybody knows me by it, and Mail...

:confused: I have a friend that I am selling my PB 1400 to. It's running OS 8.6 with 48 MB RAM (and we have no plans to upgrade; from what I understand of the PB 1400, 8.6 is about where it tops out at). She plans to network it to a PC box (what flavor of Windows I'm not sure; does it...
