I am looking for a wireless router to use in our home that would work
well with my iBook's Airport (classic, not Extreme) antenna.  We have
2 desktops in the house that are on a wired router (Netgear) and we
often bring home our laptop/notebooks (wife - PC, self - iBook) and

Looking for Fax/Printer/Scanner/Copier/PDF reader all in one.  Is
there such a machine for the Mac.  I read about the HP ScanJet 5590
but it does not mention printer.

Every now and then, when I go and open some folders or such (in MacOS X
10.2.8), I get this really high-pitched whine from my G3.  I seems to be

I saved a Power Macintosh 8500 from recycling. I am told it is in
working order, only the hard drive was removed for security purposes.
Being a PC user, I know little about SCSI drive. I will try to find one
on the used market, but is there something I should be aware of?

Hi, I have a question that I was hoping someone could help me with. I
have a G4 DP/450. It came with a stock AGP video card, which I think is
an ATI Rage Pro card with 16M. I recently bought an ATI Radeon 7000 PCI
card with 32M so that I could drive a TV, and it works fine. The ...

The title pretty well sums things up!
About a half hour ago I spilled a whole glass of Shiner Bock into the center
of my keyboard, a so-called Apple Pro model, the one that came with an iMac.
What is almost totally boggling is that I took a bunch of tissues and did my

I will be going from a MAC 9500, to a new 1.6mh. G5. Is there an  easy way to
directly transfer the files without the use of removable media? Would
appreciate any help.  Thanks!

I have a two year old Studio 17" monitor (problem first occured at 18
months) that now has a backlight problem and only illuminates the bottom
half of the screen correctly. The quote for repair at an Apple
authorised repairer is more than half the cost of a new Apple monitor.
