I'm trying to upgrade 9.1 on a Beige G3 (512Mb RAM, USB/FW, Personality card). When I try to unpack the 9.2.1 bin file from here , it reports error -127 and won't do anything else. After clicking OK, the error appears again, and repeats until I force the thing to reboot! I'm unpacking the...

I have another problem. For no reason, OSX now puts a border around whatever is selected. A filename in Finder, a selected icon on the desktop and statements in error boxes all now have black borders. It's as though CSS is used and has 'border: 1px solid black' (I presume it's not CSS, but...

For the last few days I've noticed that Software Update doesn't connect. After a couple of minutes I get an error stating that it can't connect to the internet and I should check the connection (obviously I'm connected already). Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

I check my email fairly regularly, but sometimes I have to leave the house and don't want to miss important emails. I have a couple of clients that need replies fairly quickly, so I would like to know when they write. Is it possible to get Mail to send my cell phone a text message, with...
