I have always used Stuffit but it is too expensive for such an
unreliable commercial program.  I want to be able to compress and
archive large files.  Some larger than 4.3 gig so to burn them to DVD i
need to segment them.  Some of the files are .dv video files.

After I power it up, it sometimes doesn't even make it to the logon
screen before abruptly shutting off. Other times it'll stay on for a
few minutes after loggin on.

I recently upgraded to 10.4.3 on a couple of machines and they both
have the same strange behavior.  One is a G4 Cube, the other is a G3

I have never upgraded from OS9. I still have a bunch of OS9 apps.
Will I still be able to use OS9 after the upgrade?

I'd like to keep my systems alike and am now running 10.3.9 on a MDDG4
DP.
If I purchase a refurb PowerBook from the Apple store that ships with
10.4.3, can I install 10.3.9 on it?

UPDATE.  THE DOOR STARED WORKING.  THEN I INSTALLED 1.2 AND NOW THE TRAY
DOESN'T EJECT AGAIN.  IT SHOWS UP AS AN INSTALLED ATA DRIVE!  I BELIEVE
IT IS SOFTWARE RELATED.  CAN I FORCE MOUNT IT AND GET IT TO EJECT?  ANY
HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED!  ALSO, I WAS PLANNING ON REPLACING WITH ...

I am not sure if this is a new problem or not. However, when I drag an
application to any of my flash drives, I get the message that some/all
of the files cannot  be copied, then asking to stop or continue.
I'm running 10.4.3 on both a G4 and G5.

One of my kids got a Nano for Xmas.  Silly me, I should know that very
little is ever backwards compatable with Apple :-)  I have an old G3 300
with 128 of PCI ram  6G ATA HD and I may bump the ram up in that and give it
to him to install 10.4.3 & connect to iTunes!  But I am ...

How do I upgrade from pine 4.58 to pine 4.64?  I downloaded a gunzip file
which I unzipped to pine4.64.tar.  I assumed that using the command
"tar -u  pine4.64" would upgrade the program.  But I get an error
message to the effect that 'Options 'Aru' are incompatible with '-f-'".  ...

I have a Canon Pixma IP4200 printer attached to a Mac Mini. The printer is
able to print two-sided (duplex) when I print from the Mac Mini.
I have also an iBook on the home network and have the printer shared. I can
