    Mail.app is eating my new email messages!

    This might help: Check out the Sept 21 entry at macintouch.com: Recent News at Macintouch. It makes a suggestion for the possibility that mail.app is pulling your messages but not incorporating them into your mailbox. Hope it works, Vic

    Digital Video Cameras and Accessories

    I got a Canon ZR30MC. $800 online, or at a local discount camera shop here. I'd actually recommend the ZR25MC if you were going to go with a Canon -- it's a little cheaper, and the primary advantage of the ZR30 is not useful for a DV setup (the ZR30 allows you to double the amount of footage...

    Remote desktop?

    I hope I'm not misunderstanding you, but there's a reasonably well-known Mac and Windows remote-control package called Timbuktu. It runs on OS's at least as far as back as 8.x, and probably before that. I just bought the OS X upgrade, and it continues to work very well. I couldn't live...

    Change sound input?

    I've noticed that this has been asked in a round-about way by others before, but I thought I'd ask directly. In MacOS 9, you can specify the "sound input" device. I assume that refers to the device that the OS is "listening" to. In OS X, there doesn't seem to be any corresponding switch...

    Office 2001 compatability

    I've used Word 2001 extensively. Only problem I've had is an occasional dialog that pops up presumably when Word is attempting an auto-save that says something like, "failed on save"; if I "retry" the save (the default button to press), everything seems to go fine. Oh, and once in awhile, the...

    9.2.1 is out

    I've noticed huge savings in Classic app launch-times. I get Word's splash screen in a single bounce, for example (w/ 9.1, it took four or five bounces just to get the splash screen). It also seems as though application-switching from a non-Classic to a Classic app is smoother, though I'm not...

    Menu-lings?

    So, I just purchased, installed, and ran Timbuktu for OS X. It's got this little menu-thingy that started off in the top-right corner of the screen, just below the menu bar. When I clicked it, the standard Timbuktu menu appeared ("Timbuktu info", "Open Timbuktu", etc.) I thought that its...

    Browserwar turnaround?

    Does this mean you installed the beta version? I was going to, until I read the warning that said something like, "as always, you should back up your system before installing this version..." Has it been stable, both itself, and for your OS X system?

    What does OS X look for to detect a Classic system?

    It looks to me as though Classic works like this: Classic will launch with whichever system folder is highlighted in the "Startup Disk" System Preference pane. I too had two 9.1 system folders on one partition, so Startup Disk showed both of them. If I highlighted one of them and then went...
