The connector's larger end looks like it has 22 male pins and a larger

I've just installed Cisco software for a Cisco wireless PC card on a
Wallstreet running OS9.2. But I can't use the card becuase the software

with my Mac I would like to access a server running on Suse Linux and
see the KDE Desktop. I would like to use my Mac only as a terminal and
start all apps on the Linux box to which I am connected with 100

I purchased a Mac Pro and installed the trial download of Parallels.  It
looks good however when I use the IE browser I am only able to get to

I burned a DVD+R on a MacBook Pro and put it in a G4 iMac. The drive whirled for
a while and then stopped. The disk did not mount. Disk Utility didn't see it.
Tried this with three blank DVDs. Then I went to do something else, leaving the
third disk in the machine, and the iMac ...

I discovered the new MacBook Pro has a way for me to put my favorite
fonts into a folder--but I can't seem to ACCESS the folder, at least not
from Appleworks 6, which is my current not-well-loved WP.
On the G4 I had an old NOW thing that let me rearrange them OUT of
