I'm using 10.4.8 and trying to ssh to a remote server. How do I get the
built in ssh function to use a # in the username, rather than a @?
Thanks

Well perhaps not really - I am disappointed to find that with the
Shuffle plugged in I cannot use the other USB sockey, whereas on the
iBook a Shuffle and an Apple USB lead fitted perfectly side by side.

I remember it sounded lovely, but I can't remember the name or address
of the restaurant. I'm useless at googlegrouping.

It being broadband on Dad's eMac (OS 9.2)!
So, Mum phones me at 08:15 to tell me the BT Home Hub had arrived
(what's the rush, they haven't had BB for 70+ years) but the letter
said it would be enabled between 13 and 18:00.

In the post today I received an ADB/S-Video cable, and a copy of Adobe
Photoshop Elements, from PeterD and Steve Hodgson. Two problems now

I need to download a huge file from the apple dev site and it looks
like my cable providers transparent proxies, that are upstream, can't

I had another proxy, not on the NTL network, that I used in the past

I'm now my own man (by which I mean I've set up my own consultancy). One
of the big differences is that my home office is *much* quieter, which
means I can hear things I never did before. Like the weird noises my G5
Powermac is making.

Quick thing - how do I get Google to recognise that when I type .Mac, I
really -mean- .Mac and not just the word Mac?

I need a CMS
I don't think I need much clever in the way of design features
I could do with a few alternative templates
Some concept of different users with diferent privileges would be nice

Hi group,
I may need to take my Macbook in to get its backlight fixed.
What's the best way to backup my system so that I can wipe it before I hand it over?
Just like you, I wouldn't want them to see all the pirate software I have!

If you haven't got your Expo tickets yet (Kyle...) then according to the
Apple news RSS if you enter the discount code "AP6" on the
<http://www.mac-expo.co.uk/> site you should get a free ticket.
It has just worked here for me so I should have a spare ticket for an

I am on my second apple mighty mouse. The little scroller ball on the
top keeps playing up. Is there a way to sort this or can anyone
recommend a good mouse for a mac ?
