recently we had some strange issues crop up. When we came back to work,
we where unable to login to the server from our PC machines, while ...

Awhile ago I was considering buying bottled after-market ink formulated
for Epson printers, but a very experienced friend whose judgement I
trust told me he ruined a printer using ink which had been formulated
for his brand of printer--NOT the garbagey universal kind which gunks

A friend who's running OS X Tiger on a graphite iMac has downloaded some
file and folder icons, but the ReadMe files don't give instructions. I
know how to apply icons in OS 9, but not in X, so I'd like to know if
anyone can help with this. I'll pass along the information, and ...

I'm an absolute novice user with Apple, having worked before only
with Linux, various Unixes, and Windoze, so excuse me if my question
sounds too simple and/or stupid:
One thing which distracts me with OS-X is that you need to click on

Ok. I know this has been around, but I have tried everything! The
computer will only startup to the desktop and the spotlight icon in the
upper right. A few times the fans go wild on the gray startup screen
and it sits. I have completely reinstalled the system 3 times in the

I use a SanDisk ImageMate 14 in 1 Reader/Writer with my MacBook Pro.
When writing, it is dead slow: writing 500 MB of pictures (at several MB

Anyone aware of a source for a bootable exhaustive memory test
G3 iMacs?  Or a non-bootable that will shut down enough of
OS X to be safe before testing?
I used my son's Kubuntu CD to test most of my RAM in his

I noticed a few times where say I had a ping test running - if I get
disconnected from my WAN and I'm ssh'd to my home computer (from
work), and I reconnect, ps aux shows the ping process still running.

I have an EMAC that came with Jaguar and could be booted into OS 9.2 as
well as OSX. Am considering upgrading to the latest version of OSX but
don't want to lose the ability to boot into OS9. Many of our old games
don't play as well in Classic mode.

I'm having a hard time getting emacs to provide me with a large palette of
colors and I'm sure if it's a problem with configuring emacs or with
running emacs on the Terminal app.  If I run the list-colors-display
command it only lists the basic eight colors, instead of a large ...
