I've been reading some of the recent VPC optimization tips. I have a couple of questions for anyone that has done the same: (I'm going to run Win2K primarily on a G4/350 tower). Second internal HD vs. External FW drive. It sounds like the biggest way to boost VPC speed it so move the disk...

I need to dump my NetGear wireless router. It just sucks (keeps timing out connections). So, I figured while I'm at it, I might as well upgrade to 802.11g. I found a good deal on Belkin products. I've been looking at their 802.11g router + wireless card which I can get together for $120. Has...

I haven't used a PDA in a few years...last time a Visor Deluxe with OS9. I recently got a Sony Clie through work and have a few questions... - what can I use to hotsync it? Palm desktop? iSync? Or do I need to buy the 'missing sync' software to use it at all? - It looks like Avantgo...

I used to use a Visor Deluxe for a PDA. I haven't synced it since going to OSX (I know, I know). Anyways, I don't use it much anymore. Well, through work, I now have a Sony Clie. Nice little PDA...they've come a long way! Anyways, I was wondering what people recommend using for synching...

I have a NetGear wireless router and an Airport card in a TiBook 667. I also have a G4 desktop 350 hooked up to the router via an ethernet cable. Both running OSX.2.x Transferring files between the two is PAINFULLY slow. a 100mb file can take 10 minutes to transfer. Is this normal? It...

The finder on my TiBook locked up. I had to force quit it but couldn't get it to terminate. So, I logged out. When I tried to log back in, it would hang, so I rebooted. My computer then sat for about 15 mintues in the start up screen (the spinning daisy) and then rebooted itself, then...

Well, it's time to upgrade the ol' mail client again. About a year ago, I went looking for a new email app. I tried Powermail, Mailsmith, Mail.app, a few open source apps, Entorauge, etc. I finally went back to Eudora 5, simply because it seemed to have the most stable mail storage format...

So, I have a new HD I added and have partitioned it and have installed OSX 10.2 on to it. Now I need to move files from the old install of OSX on the other HD. Of course, all of the folders/files are locked since I am not logged into that install. How do I move those files? Is there a command...

I have one. I think it's crap. I've asked a few others and have been told the same...Netgear and OSX just don't get along. Any other opinions on that? My OSX machine works great via the router if connected via Cat5, but when wireless, randome hiccups occur. Sometimes it can't resolve hosts...

I'm notoriously lazy when it comes to making CD backups of my data. So...I'm going to use HDs instead. Here's what I'd like to to do: - Get a 120gig HD for the desktop G4. This will be backup drive for the G4's main drive (40gig) and the TiBook's drive (30gig) plus extra space as a file...

I received a Linksys USB Wireless Network Adapter as a gift. I'd like to use it on my desktop G4 to connect to our wireless network, but it appears that Linksys does not offer any Mac drivers. Does anyone know if/how to get this working with a Mac? I've been googling for a bit and haven't...

I asked about Sharepoints in another thread, but didn't get a response, so I thought I'd generalize the question a bit more to see what my options are out there. I have a desktop G4 with two dard drives. The boot-up drive containes OS 10.1.5. The other is simply a storage drive (mainly for...

I'm using a TiBook with Jaguar and want to share a HD on my desktop that is running OS 10.1.5 So, on my desktop G4, I installed Sharepoints 2 (since I'm not using Jaguar yet) and shared this folder that is on my archive drive. This isn't the same drive as OSX is on...which I'm thinking may be...

Anyone using HenWen or SunShield for Firewall GUIs? Trying them out now and was just wondering what the pros and cons were (maybe from someone with a better grasp of OSX security...)

I've been trying to download the OSX beta of OpenOffice but the MacUpdate site (the 'official' site in the US) continually either drops the connection or completes with a corrupted archive. I'm trying a few foreign mirrors, but they are just a *bit* slow...anyone know of any US mirrors and/or...

I have a G4/350 desktop and a TiBook/667 with an Airport Card. I'm running a Netgear router. The G4 is hooked up to the router via ethernet, and the TiBook is using the wireless set up (with WEP on). The TiBook is running Jaguar, the G4, 10.1.3, I believe. I'm having two problems...

My wife has an OSX machine at work and one at home. She'd like to be able to transfer file between the two. In OS9, that was fairly easy + secure via Appletalk over TCP/IP. Is there an equivalent in OSX, or do I need to stick with a .mac or ftp solution?

Once every two months or so, I try and connect two OSX machines together and consistently forget how to do it. Can anyone help me? I have a laptop running x.2 and a desktop running x.1.5 On the desktop, I set up a new account/user called Laptop. On the laptop, if I go to browse the...
