The iMAc 500 Indigo that our mini NGO uses currently runs on 0S 10.2.8.
We recieved some stuff from one of our benefactors to communicate with
the children we care for. Unfortunately it seems to accept only OS 10.3
or higher.

The Samsung SCX-4100 multifunction printer/scanner does not have a Mac

I've got an old 250GB Internal IDE Quantum ProDrive (Apple branded) from
a 68K Mac. There is data on this drive that I want to retrieve. But I
can't get the drive to mount in a PowerMac running OS 8.6. The drive was
working fine in the 68K Mac.

I am running Mac OS X 10.4.2 and I am trying to set up a web server. I want
to open up port 8080 to allow my website to be made public. I know that the
admin utility only allows ports 80, 427 and 443 for this purpose, but the
server I'm starting seems to be anal and only will allow ...

Does anyone happen to have an 8.6 System Install disk for an iMac G3
lying around?  I need one for another computer of mine , I seemed to

Alright, I am currently running my iMac G3 on a 9.2.2 system, but would
like to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar.  For some reason, I can't seem
to find any information as to the price or the system requirements.
The Apple site just isn't much help, and I can't run Tiger on it just

I understand the iPod nano will sync via USB 1.1, but is there anyone
using a nano with a known USB 1.1 connection who can say from experience
whether it will recharge or not via that port? If you can, can you say
which Mac and which port you used with the nano?

Do you know if it will be possible to run OS X and Windows
/simultaneously/ on a Mactel? Thanks.

I popped in the Tiger install disc but there doesn't seem to be a way
to install only the widgets off it.
Has anyone else reinstalled only their widgets?

Running 10.3.8 on a G5.  In data mode the Appleworks will freeze up for
10-12 seconds almost every time I imput new data. The multi colored ball
