I have been using Macs for about a year now.  I have an internet cafe I
like to visit.  A couple weeks ago as I was powering off I got a
message that if I did power off I would disconnect a user.  There
should not have been any of course, so I shut down.

Anyone had practical experience with connecting a laptop to a small (and
infrequently used) scanner (Fujitsu ScanSnap or Canon CanonScan/LIDE)
through 20 to 25 feet of USB cable?  Is this too long for the job?  Will

I've been trying to figure this one out for quite some time and have decided
to throw in the towel and ask for help.   How can links posted be displayed
as hot links?   I've tested other newsreaders for the same post and they show

I am trying to get a Dell to find a G4's Airport Extreme's Base
Station. It can't find it since it's been re-configured at the Apple
Store.  It's a DSL connection. Dell has Windows XP and the Mac, OS X

Hi,
I have a G5 with airport and an Airport Base station connected to a DSL
modem.  This connection works fine. I would like to share this
connection with another G5 that doesn't have an airport card.  

I'm trying to use Flying Buttress to firewall a NAT gateway between my
internal lan and the Internet on a Blue and White G3 running OS X
10.3.9.  Flying Buttress was previously known as Brickhouse but had to
be renamed because it conflicted with someone else's trademark:
