    G3 B&W Microphone Problem

    I bought one of those grey / beige apple microphones and hooked it up to the microphone plug on my 400MHz G3 B&W. I use Mac OS X 10.2.6 Somehow, though, the microphone does not seem to work as I can't get the OS to register the noise I make in front of the mic. Any suggestions? pbmac

    Freakin new Appleworks

    I believe that the next big software package to come from Apple will be AppleWorks, or whatever the next version will be called. Why do I believe this? Well, apart from the need to create an Office v.X alternative (following Safari's footsteps), a simple glance at the program itself should...
