machine (this is the time it takes for the login screen to appear).
When I then login and start using the machine, every action takes a

Got a MacBook Pro

Is this right?
I personally send many faxes and could not live without a built in modem. I
can understand Apple's logic for elliminating the modem on their desktops,
but laptops?  Laptops are supposed to be portable. What will people who live

One has to wonder what the next generation will have in store.  But I can
imagine that movies are not far from being downloaded for a price, just like
music.  However at thsi time, it appears that movies are too large for a
download.

Hi I have some user account on one partition and that partition is
filling up.
I'd like to move the users account (home directory) to a new partition.
How do I do this?

I think the drive is OK as I can mount regular commercial CD's with
data but not blank media. I tried a few blank disks. The CD's don't

came up asking me how I wanted to proceed so I know it knows it's

I know there has to be a way to do this, but I haven't got lucky
trying to find it so far.
When reading in photos from compact flash, I stick the card in
the reader, it mounts up, I open it, drag and drop onto the

Since 1993 I've been an OS/2-only user and advocate.  It wasn't until
this past January, when IBM finally dropped support for OS/2 entirely,

A few weeks ago when one visited Yahoo Maps one was presented with an
extremely elegant interface in which one could choose to view a map, a
satellite view, or a hybrid view combining the map and satellite views. Now
all one gets is just the map view, and that without the ...

I am having to purchase upto 4 printers for a small business network
running os9. Two of the existing Epson printers are refusing to print,
claiming they need to be serviced. They are only two or three years old
and have cost an utter fortune in ink.

Yahoo web hosting is not exactly optimized for backup.  So what do you guys
reccommend I use to backup my files online?  Yes I am using Retrospect to
backup my disk  to USB hard drive, but I could use a online backup solution
for file backup of a select number of files.

I think I had posted here before about this, but I'd like to discuss it
again. I have a g3 imac 700 with 80 gb hd and 1 gb ram, and I'm curious
as to who here uses this sort of system anymore, and how relevant it is
in the world of "macintel" and the g5 and even g4 processors. I
