trouble opening folders, drives, and apps. When I double click on an

I'm trying to fix a printing problem with my mother's Stylus Photo R210 and
Mac mini running OS 10.3.9, but fear the worst. The computer seems to have
lost all contact with the printer: Printer Setup utility no longer sees it

I'm using the RSS Visualiser as a screensaver, but can't figure out how to
add extra RSS feeds to the list of those available.  I think I have to

I am trying to get some files off of my old Performa 6300. The only thing
the kid did not damage was the hard drive. So I can still get online. The
problem is I need to upgrade Netscape to use email (Needed to send old files
to the new computer). The newer vision sits on the desk ...

The other day I sent my 78 year old Dad an iBook 900. It is his first
ever computer. He is keen to learn about its possibilities but providing
basic support (like how you use a track pad) over the phone is a little
difficult.

Just would like to know about IP addresses.
I have 2 Macs (well 3 really, but 2 active ones)
