Just wondered if anyone had any experience of wifi and ad-hoc networking
as I recently came up against a problem I couldn't solve with this.
We stayed at a remote self-catering cottage last week in the Lizard
where there was free public wifi access. Using my trusty PB G3/333

Heading says it all,  this version apparently "Coming soon" Cant
remember if anyone has mentioned it or not.

I have here a shockwave flash video that (A) I'd like to save and (B) make
into a format that Connect360 can stream to the 360 console - what that means
is that it must be playable in Quick Time (I have QT Pro).
How?!

What is the typical reason something just bounces in the dock?
Scenario: Daughter at new college, 20 (potentially)  identical Macs.
Lad next to her wants to open Word but every time he tries it just
bounces in the dock. Her's opens ok, she doesn't need it so they swap

I have a Roland PC-300 controller keyboard which I use for GB and other
stuff, I also have an elderly SX-KN800 which I'd like to hook up to the Mac.

I'm trying to give a folder on a network share (Samba on FreeBSD) a
backgroud picture but it won't persist through unmounting/remounting.

Does anyone have one of the new iMacs?

I'm thinking of selling my 'old' core duo 20" for the simple reason that

I'm creating a list of all the things I can do to make my system run as

Another faggot group that needs some 'attention'.

I have my iMac G5 dual screen setup set to randomly - and I mean randomly in
the Apple sense - change wallpapers in a 1000+ image folder. Needless to say,
it picks a lot of the same images a lot of the time. Sometimes it picks a gem
and I want to save it.

I suddenly - and very weirdly - found the adaptor for charging and
synchonising my old Sony Clie.
How can I install stuff on it, and synchronise calendars and so on? Do I

Sorry to be a bore (having asked this question at regular intervals over
the last three years or so) but what's the latest state of play in iCal
