    Optical Mouse

    I have a Micro*ahem* IntelliMouse Explorer, and have had the problems described. However, unlike many people here, it seems, I find that under OS 9, not X, the mouse is extremely tempermental, often turning itself off and then on again for no obvious reason, and sometimes turning off completely...

    Epson Printer Drivers to Mac OS X

    I remember that DP4 had standard USB Printer support for my Epson Stylus Color 740. Strange that it does not under the public beta. Perhaps the latest developer builds of OS X contain such basic support once more. If nothing else, I'm sure they could easily build in basic support for Epson...

    Outbound FTP broken on PPP?

    No, this is not a passive/firewall issue. The transfer starts, but dies after up to 120k. So far as I can tell this effects all protocols/services. Uploading small amounts of data works, such as GET requests for web pages, but any large block (at a guess, 20k+) fails. I smell a rat in PPP...

    Outbound FTP broken on PPP?

    This is an OS X issue, so far as I can tell. Uploading any large segment of data over a dialup connection dies. Extremely frustrating. Anyone know of even just a reason why the heck this happens?

    FTP software ?

    I've had the same problem, with Fetch, ftp from the terminal, NetFinder, Transmit, and even my own ftp client I whipped up on the off chance that might work. It appears to me that OS X has some real issues uploading large amounts of data over a PPP connection. I damn well hope that this is...

    Use burned CD more than once????

    True, but quality high speed cd/dvd drives will read as low as say 8x, whereas I think Apple's ones read 24x and 12x, and that's it, or something similar. A better one might read 4x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 14x, 18x *and* 24x. That way you've a far greater chance of finding a 'working' speed.

    Use burned CD more than once????

    From my experience, putting aside suspicions my DVD-rom actually eats cd's, the newer the Apple computer, the dodgier the cd drive. I've a 8100/100 with a 2x cd-drive that works better than the dvd-rom in my G4, and it's nearly 7 years old now or something... I think Apple should maybe be...

    Use burned CD more than once????

    On a somewhat-related thread, I had this trouble with OS X DP4. I got it from a friend who (the lucky bum) can afford to be on Apple's dev program, but wasn't terribly interested in OS X (possibly, like me, after using it and realising the hype was pretty much just that, nothing much more)...
