    MENSA Intelligence Test

    Let's put it this way, a lot of Hollywood stars and even Paris Hilton are apparently Mensa members, so don't put too much stock into these kinds of supposed tests.

    When you reinstalled Tiger and NOTHING ELSE does your Mac still freeze up? If it does not freeze up, then it is another piece of hardware or software causing you the problems, and you will need to reinstall them one at a time until a problem occurs. If it does freeze up after a completely...

    Why? Yes. Save your money, buy the Intel 20" iMac. The screen size is never something you should ever try to save money on.

    Have you double checked all of the settings on your router? Have you tried upgrading the firmware on your router? I had the same problems with my Linksys router until I upgraded its firmware and reset all of the security settings.

    Ibook Not Automatically Connecting to Wireless Network

    Have you installed any new programs recently which might be conflicting or causing a problem? I have been using a Linksys router in a mixed environment for a long time without any problems, so the chances of it being the router in this case are extremely low. But, it would be worthwhile to...

    Tiger Upgrade For 800mhz G3?

    3. Not entirely true. With OS X Tiger, Apple was finally able to freeze their API. Therefore, future versions from 10.4 and up should be 100% compatible with each other, barring any additional kernel-level (new hardware) or user-level (new hardware) changes. Again, the API is now frozen...

    Spinning rainbow Ball

    You need to verify that your HDD's are jumpered correctly. Mac's are very particular about how the HDD's are jumpered and cabled and Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X do not access the hardware in the same way. Fortunately, I just got rid of OS 9 for good so I no longer have these kinds of problems. But...
