After years of relying on the mac gurus of this forum, once again, I am turning to you for your suggestions and thoughts. Here's where I'm at: 1. I have an imac g4, 15" display, 40GB HD, lots of added ram (added long time ago so, can't remember how much) and I think the speed is 700mhz...

I've been working for a very poor theatre company (the last 2 months). I was delighted to see Macs in use but then horrified at how poorly kept the systems are. So, I've had nothing but trouble since I started. My office seems to be the land where old computers go to die. I have piled up on my...

So far I like the look and feel of Camino but I need a few days to decide.

in the tradition of Chimera, ie. being an ancient Greek word, I have a few suggestions: Bellerophon - he killed the chimera Hermes - the messenger Tiresias - the blind seer Hercules - we all remember the cartoon Pegasus - the winged horse Zephyr - gentle god of the west wind (and in the...

have you tried trashing the items in OS9?

OmegaMan, what do you mean Canada doesn't have any Apple stores? I'm sure I saw one last time I was in Vancouver--in Yaletown, I think.

my primary is still chimera:) safari is a distant 2nd. i'd hate to see chimera go but it is true that things seem to have slowed down. it makes me sad:( shemina

We are turning our old iMacG3 266 into a word-processing unit (no networking). We'd like to install OS X.2 and MS Word v.X, to avoid file conversions between our two systems. Is the computer going to be able to run those programs effectively enough to make it worthwhile? Or will the old G3...

reeeppplllyyyy...:p

I thought an update was in order since so many helped me try to solve the problem. But I suspect there are some who have no idea what this is about so I'll recap. I bought a new imac flat panel 15" 700 CDRW and from the moment I turned it on it began crashing about 2-3 times a day--starting...

Well, I had another full system crash. This time the mouse wouldn't move either. Nothing seems to work. So, I'm going to try and have the machine declared DOA because of the blue screen problem that occurred upon taking it out of the box. I love Mac but I hate what's happening to me and my cute...

just a few more bits of info that might help: -I am not using a firewire -I have several USB connections: iSub, imation superdrive (for floppy's and super disk), mouse, Lexmark Optra E310 printer, and a cable modem through the ethernet. I think that's it

Well, I ran fsck -y with no luck in terms of finding problems. So, I ran disk utilities from the install disk and found that although the hard drive verify was clean the permissions were not. I ran the permissions repair about 5 times, it took about 1.5 hours before I had a clean repair (no...

the entire system freezes up. Full system crash--the mouse icon moves but I can't force quit the application, I can't get the apple/option/esc function to work either. I have to use the power button to shut down. I has happened also with limewire--so I reloaded that today.

I heard so many great things about the new jaguar OS that when I decided my old 266iMac was outdated I bought a new flat panel 15" iMac sporting this fancy new crach proof OS. But to my dismay and sometimes horror, my computer keeps experiencing full fledged system crashes. I just don't know...
