On Tiger 10.4.11, if I set the Network to use DHCP to set its
parameters, it gets them from a VMS server.
In the systems preference panel:
It gets the IP, Subnet mask, and default router, but does not fill out

Every month or two, the computer stops responding to the Bluetooth mouse
and keyboard.  The easiest way I've found to fix the problem (until it
happens again, that is) is to plug in a USB mouse, and use it to switch
to another user.  That gets the BT mouse and keyboard working ...

This is really aggravating.  I use 10.4.11 Mail with POP servers and
once a message has been downloaded I expect to find it later.  But once
in a while single or groups of messages (always old ones) are not
available.  Some italicized messages says they need to be downloaded.  

I'm running Leopard on this new Mac, and I notice not every item with
given criteria comes up on a Spotlight search. For instance the
Normal.dotm file gnerated by Word 2008. It's there, but when I search

What can I do so that I could see this file in an iPod touch?

my main system (iMac) and my portable (old Powerbook) is very rough, as
I haven't been travelling much over the past few years. I want to ...

Is there a better program than iTunes for my iPod Nano?

Is there a way in _software_ to limit the maximum size of a Time Machine
backup, rather than partitioning a hard drive? Perhaps some secret
'write defaults...' command? As a founding signatory to the Icon
Non-Proliferation Treaty, I'd like to limit the number of volume icons

About the last five times I have run Software Update on my MB Pro,
Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0 has shown up and I have installed it -- or
I think I have. After the installation, when SW Update runs again, it
does not show. But the next time SW Update runs, Keyboard Firmware

Recently I purchased Aperture because I thought it would meet my needs
better than iPhoto which came with my Mac when I purchased it.
However, I can see that although Aperture appears to be an excellent program
for professionals and advanced amateurs, I am neither. It is going to ...

I have a NAS in my network that provides disk space via NFS for a
number of boxes in my network, mostly running Linux with the exception
of one MacMini running MacOSX 10.4. On the Mac I used Netinfo to
configure mounts for the NFS volumes on the NAS.

Dear friends:
Has someone tested WinXP SP3 (Beta) under BootCamp or VmWare Fusion?
