I'm migrating my data files (about 100 Gigs total, on two internal drives)
from my office G4 (desktop 2000 model) to a new G5, which will be placed in
the same location. What's the easiest way to move the files? I know that
laptops can be put into firewire Target mode; can the new ...

I have currently setup a home network using an Airport Extreme, ibook
G4 and PC Notebook. The airport has an internal modem which i am using
to access the internet. From the iBook, i am able to  control the
airport and connect to the internet, which then is shared among other

I recently purchased an iMac with an M7600LL/C Airport card in it.  I'd
like to connect this via wireless access to my existing wired network.
My existing network consists of a cable modem connected to a IIci
running IPNetRouter using a dual ethernet configuration with my

Can't get sendmail to work on 10.3. It seems to accept the commands to
send a message, but I don't receive it on the account it's sent to.
How does sendmail know which smtp server to use?  Do I need to set it up
or configure it?

I've got a machine running 10.3.2 as my server/firewall/router
Up until recently it worked admirably, and still does for email
and news (NNTP).
However all machines being servered by it (Macs & Windows)

I remember from ancient times that there were three rings ... No,
wait. There were three somethings that would run under OS X. Carbon and
cocoa were supposed to be the better of the three, with one of them being
the one that binds them all or something.

I've just got an Airport Extreme Base Station, to connect my desktop
machine to my laptok (G3 iBook) and Squeeebox.
The signal strength does depend on where the laptop is, which is only to
be expected.

I have a  124 MHz G4 laptop. As a desktop machine I use it as the CPU
with a 17" flastscreen Apple Monitor and Bluetooth wireless keyboard
and mouse. Very pleased. Fantastic system!
My question: the sound through the laptop speakers is weak. Bluetooth

Boob? Bore? I dunno. I'm just not getting something.
I bought the pearly looking Airport Base station on ebay. The one with
two Ethernet ports and a dialup modem inside, but not the Extreme.
I have a 466 mhz G4, running OS 9.2.2

I'm trying to kill all posts coming from a troll in a newsgroup that I
lurk in.  The posts have the following line:
"Organization: mail2news@nym.alias.net"
In Thoth, I've created a filter for the newsgroup with the following:

Open mail.app preferences dialog.  Click on each of the icons in the
tool bar in turn.
Notice that for Fonts & Colors, Viewing, and Composing, the green button
is disabled and the resize area in the bottom right vanishes.  For all

I know that for most of you IRC is trivial, but I'm having a problem using it
and perhaps someone here knows the solution.
The software I'm using is called "ChatNet", a basic IRC client (its simplicity
and ease of use puts it above anything else I've tried for simple IRC ...

Hi
I am having trouble with FTP on Panther behind an airport base station, I
have included below a thread I had in another news group, which details the
problem and checks I have made so far that people have suggested, one of the

I have only one phone number (and don't want to get a second one).  
Obviously, I can't turn on automatic receive because it would answer the
phone instead of the answering machine doing so, and most phone calls I
get are voice calls.  (Of course, if I set the number of rings to ...

I've got four machines that are running Panther with the same problem.  
Three are PowerBooks and one is a Tower.  The all work well with one
exception.  The setting for Personal File Sharing in the File Sharing
system preference doesn't stick.  I'll turn it on then do a restart ...
