I purchased an Epson DX3850 scanner/printer/copier and attempted to  
install it.  But without success.  It would appear that I have  
purchased a Windows only device.
However, OS X recognises the  device and allows me to copy and print

My PB came with panther and a coupon for upgrade to 10.4. Recently I
was stupid/careless enough to damage my OS. I reinstalled panther but
couldn't locate my tiger upgrade disks so far and am still looking for
substitutes.

Since the latest update, Safari has been running like a turtle,
requiring multiple attempts to load pages.
Finally I realized it was the browser and switched over to Firefox and
the speed is back.

I think I deleted /usr or something similar by mistake. Anyway, the
machine refused to boot. I had to reinstall OS, but while I could find
my Panther CDs I can't locate the upgrade cd apple sent me.  Most of my
friends are pc people. Can I beg borrow steal buy the upgrade cd from

Is it possible to remap the small enter key to the right on the arrow
keys on my iBook to operate as a second ctrl key? (to allow one-handed
control-clicking?). I actually just noticed it was there doing nothing
and it'd save a lot of annoyance. Thanx.

I screwed up my os, was able to install Panther but couldn't locate the
upgrade disks. All nearby friends are PC people. Finally I found
someone who has offered to let me use his dvd's to install tiger.
However, it is quite a long drive and his dvd's came bundled with a G5

portrait style, across two pages.
(ie so you put them in a duotang, open a spread and have the entire
month infront of you)
apple, i'm trying to love you, why must you make it so hard?......... :(

I am now using 10.2.8 and would like to upgrade to 10.3. I can buy some
10.3 discs fairly cheaply, but they are labeled as install and restore
discs for the eMac.
Is there anything about this software that would prevent it from working

I am in the process of refitting my offices, and have decided to make the
move from PC to Mac.  I am in search of a webstore that will allow me to buy
everything from Audio products to Video products for Mac systems as well as
the actual computers themselves along with Software etc ...

OK, so my MAC skills are non-existant. They used to be OK but then OSX
came along and I am pretty lost. So here's my situation.
I have a G3 with 8.5GB but 8.14 GB are used up and I can't seem to do
anyhting on my MAC anymore. I no longer need all  my graphics software

on OSX 10.3.9 "Links" (hard/soft) don't work on smb-mounted devices. :-(
Why can't use Apple the normal smb-client, that is part of the
Samba-Suite? On Linux-systems smb-mounted devices support Links.
How long do we have to wait, until the System-Programmers at Apple

There may be an answer staring me in the face on this one, but blowed if I
can see it...
I have a G5 and PowerBook, both linked to the same iDisk. Automatic updating.
When my iDisk is mounted, SOME files and directories show up on both
