I don't yet have Classic on this machine (PowerBook G4 / OSX 10.3.9) and
now want to install it so that I can use some old CD ROM museum guides.
On my last machine I had Classic installed but IIRC it was 9.2.1.  Is
there any way to install Classic as 9.2.2?  I have install discs for

I just bought a brand new IMAC G5 -- Tiger 10.4. I downloaded Firefox
into a user account, put it on the dock and it dissappers -- does it
every time I log out. Mail -- the program that comes with the MAC
disappears from the dock too. I have to reinstall firefox when I log

Considering getting an intel iMac - one of things that really concerns
me is noise....since no-one has any experience of these new machines,
can anyone comment on what the noise levels are like on the old iMac's
compared to say a bog-standard PC (Dell 3100, for example).

I went to the apple site in order to watch the Macworld keynote.  When
I click on it I get this message:  Couldn't open the file
"blahblahblah" because a bad public movie atom was found in the movie.
What's up with that?  I'm using OS 9.2.2 ......has it something to do

I recently became the owner of an iPod nano. In looking for a carrying case
which could be hung around my neck I noted that not one of those I looked at

I am usually searching for a file with a specific string in the name.
Spotlight insists on telling me the zillions of files that have that

Is there any way I can get SpotLight/Tiger to just give me files whose

I've been living with this annoyance for some time, and before I either
fork over $100 for a new airport card (if I can find one) or try to
find a USB adapter that has the Ralink chipset, I'd like to run this by
you folks.

I just installed OS 10.4.  I hooked up my printer and tried to set up
the fax preferences.  I pen a word document and then go to the file menu
and go to print ...
I understand that what I should see on the bottom of the print screen

I was given a Canon S750 ink jet printer. Powering it on everything
looks fine, the LED goes into steady green mode. Connecting it to a Mac
(10.4.4) via USB cable has it correctly recognized by both "about this
