    Printer recommendations?

    So this is the thread where you tell me which brand of printer to get. I just dumped my HP LaserJet 1100 -- I got sick of trying to get it to work in OS X, and a friend really needed a cheap laser printer, so I sold it to her. So I'm looking for a laser printer, compatible with OS X...

    OmniWeb 4.1 beta 7 released

    The subject pretty much says it all. From the release notes: And there's more, but I want to beat simX to the announcement. ;)

    What kind of pet do you have?

    I was checking my Yahoo email account, and they have these options to "update" your zip code, indicate what you plan to buy in the next six months, et cetera. (They're trying to build a lovely targeted spam database, as far as I can tell) Anyway, they had "What kind of pet do you own?" with...

    Speed download

    So I tried a download manager, Speed Download. I didn't like it much, so I removed it. But the darn program left its little plugin in OmniWeb, so now when I click on a link to download something, I get "This link has been sent to Speed Download". Which is of course impossible, since Speed...

    Do you have naughty pictures as your desktop image?

    This poll was spawned by a misunderstanding of twyg's poll. This poll was brought to you by the letter 7. :D Edit: The prize goes to mrfluffy for the inspiration. So if you're ever in Tucson, mrfluffy, look me up and I'll buy you a beer/coffee/other kind of drink.

    Scud?

    So does anyone know if it is possible to change the SCUD (Spinning Cursor of Death :) (Yes I know the acronym doesn't work. Humor me.)) to something else? How would I do this if it is possible?

    Ups?

    As in Uninterruptible Power Supply, not United Parcel Service (or whatever)... Does anyone have any recommendations for a UPS?

    Poster's Semi-Anonymous

    Hello, my name is Nkuvu, and I am a postaholic. I started with a post in March to "Do you use a trackball?" I had something to share. Then I saw other people talking about OS X, and started to wonder about it myself. So I started asking questions. And listening when other people asked...

    A test of the AppleWorks exporting system...

    I'd like to know how well AppleWorks exports to Word files. Or if it does at all, since I have never tried it. :p To that end, could someone on a Mac perform this test? Open a file, preferably word processing. Export it to a Word document, preferably Windows compatible (I'm at work, so...

    X (as in Unix)

    What I want to do is run Gimp. But I have no idea how to get started. I've heard of Fink, which I am in the process of downloading. I even understand what it does. :) Do I need OroborOSX? Or anything else? Thanks in advance.

    Check this out

    Check out the comic Non-Sequitur. Specifically, the comic for today. That's April 14 for those who are too lazy to look in the corner of this post... :D I'd post it here, but don't want to violate any copyright laws...

    Looong authentication times

    My roommie and I have a computer-to-computer AirPort network, which we use sometimes to transfer files. Hers is a G3 CRT iMac, mine is a G4 FP iMac. So I created a network in the AirPort section, and that went just fine. I connected to the network from the other iMac, no problems. Then...

    Search for new posts

    I was wondering -- how are the posts determined to be new in the "Search for new posts"? I thought it was the most recent unread ones, but that's not the case, since I get a lot that are marked as read (correctly). I thought it might be the last X number of hours, but that's not right, since...

    HomePage and iTools and iDisk, oh my!

    So how exactly do the folders on the iDisk work? Can I just put folders/html/whatever in the Sites directory and have it shared? Do I need to set permissions on what I put up there? What I want to be able to do is write my own HTML and post the pages. I don't really like making web pages...

    iTools agony

    Arrrgh! iTools is too slow! :mad: I just spent an hour making a stupid photo album web page through iTools. I did have to upload pictures, but the pictures altogether are ~600K. This should not be a long process, even with a dial-up connection. What took me so long, you ask? (Don't...

    Two questions

    What does update_prebindings do? (That is the right command, yes?) What does the -y flag do for fsck? I ran fsck in single-user mode, and "Everything appears to be OK". Will -y change that? I know, that's technically four questions. But I'm at work on an NT box, which makes it so that...

    HP LaserJet 1100 compatibility?

    I am in the process of becoming a Mac person. AKA, I'm a mac newbie, especially since I don't have my own mac yet. (Flat panel iMac is, strangely enough, not shipping yet) For my Windows box, I have an HP LaserJet 1100. I have ordered a cable which will convert the LaserJet's parallel...

    Icon explanantions?

    Is there a legend for icons? I'm not talking about the smileys, or the message icons I can assign. I'm talking about icons like or or even I suspect that this should be a FAQ, but perhaps I'm the only one not clued in here...

    Can Mac OSX write CDRWs?

    We have two computers in the house, which are not networked (yet!). I have a CD-RW that I can write to with the (shudder) beige box, and transfer files to the iMac. How can I do the file transfer in reverse, if at all? I read a post on MacSlash that it could be done through the Finder's...
