I am really concidering buying an Imac G3 of of Ebay for 100 bucks or
so. I woould like to know a few things.
How hard would it be to upgrade say a 350 to a 600 mgrtz?
How Hard would it be to add a bigger HDD

I am thinking about getting a new Intel iMac and wonder if I could still
run this older G4 (OSX 10.4 with Classic) on the router?   The real
question is can I mount the old G4 from the iMac and run a Classic
application over the network?

I can access SMB-signed shares on a Windows 2003 Server with the
'smbclient' on my PowerBook running Tiger, but only with the 'smbclient'
command from Terminal.  Is there a way I can access these from Finder?
The following command works:

The files I make with InDesign have very slow print times when they
have a 40 meg graphic image placed on them (1 hour +) to print.
I am running a new Itel Imac / OS 0.4.6 0 InDesignCS2. The print driver
is current and supposedly compatable with the Intel machine.

My employer took away my iMac-G4 and replaced it with a dual-core Intel
iMac.  But they didn't purchase new speakers to go with the old computer,
because our IT people told purchasing that the JBL Creature II speakers
I had would work the new Intel iMac.

Hi!  Is there a key that you can hold down in OS X to temporarily
disable autoplay when you insert a CD?  Like SHIFT does in Windows.  
Thanks in advance!

Smaller than a laptop- The Aopen Pandora miniPC.  Powerful and cheap.
Just 6.5 inches square, 2 inches tall * Runs Windows XP or Linux * slot
loading DVD / CD-RW * Modern Intel CPU * runs silent and cool.  Perfect
for just about any room or application.  DVE / VGA / TV /HDTV outputs ...

Has anyone successfully run Rhino on a G5 under Virtual PC ?
If so, how well does it work ?
Thanks,

This I bought an APC usb 2.0 hub, plugged it in in the mini usb port and
inserted  2 usb printers, 1 external hd and a wireless keyboard and mouse in
the hub.  Everything worked fine and instead of shutting down the Mac mini I
used the sleep mode.

I installed OS X 10.4.2 (came with quad mac) with "iLife 06" bundle (or
05?) and installed the combo 10.4.6 update.
I did NOT install (tick) additional langugaes on OS X install
Here are the exciting  results of language cleaning using Atomic Bird

I'm using an 800mhz iMac with a combidrive. I'd like to upgrade to an
external DVD R/RW drive. Would I get any other advantage (besides write
speed) using firewire instead of the cheaper USB?

Is anyone aware of any "EMAC only" (or EMAC centric) forums on the web?
The learning curve (transition from MS) seems steep, although my age (58)
might have something to do with that.!!! LOL

Does the OS X "Network" panel have the same capability for setting up a
number of optional configurations, and easily switching among them,  as
the OS 9 TCP/IP Control Panel did?
If it does, I can't find it.

I have a PB G4 17" running Tiger, and I want to send a fax.
I thought this thing had a fax modem in it, but maybe not.
I don't see how to send a Fax.  There are some settings
under "Print & Fax", but these only seem to be about

Watch out for latest computers.
