My moose goes too slow. Everytime I log I set the moose again. Can I make moose go always fast? Besides can I make it faster? Even the fastest moose is too slow for me.

I think I know the answer to this, but I'm hoping I'm wrong. With a PC, if I want to get a new CPU depending on what I have, I can either: 1. Buy a new cpu 2. Buy a new motherboard and cpu 3. Buy a new motherboard, new ram and a cpu 4. Buy a new case and new motherboard, new ram and a cpu...

I managed to boot from the os x cd. Then I installed the 4.2.8 firmware upgrade and everything is fine now.

Reading someone else's post, I gather it was firmware version 4.2.8.

If I remember correctly, it was 4.1.8. It's the firmware on the macos 9.2.1 disk that comes with the 10.1 update. I have a 400Mhz G4... it's from before they had Nvidia graphics cards/chips or whatever.

I have a G4 which I'm trying to upgrade to 10.1. For the firmware upgrade I followed the instructions. I booted to 9.1, ran the update utiltiy and shutdown. After this my monitor naturally goes blank and starts searching for a signal. Then I held the programmer's button and pressed the power...

Thanks. Unfortunately, I didn't buy mac os x from the apple store.

Uggh. I hate hate hate having to drag something out onto paper so I can scribble on it and fax it!!! Is there some way for me to upgrade without having to have a printer? The local computer store says they do not have any upgrades to sell.

Oh yeah, binary search... I just mentioned word, because that's the program I keep needing to use, but can't unless I start classic with extensions disabled. It happens with other classic apps aswell. Thanks!

Recently when I try to run word, classic starts and it then says: "" Illegal Instruction. Restart and turn off extensions by holding down shift. Great. Is there something to tell me which extension is failing, or do I have to reboot and enable extensions one by one a zillion times to...

Thanks. I made an initial stab at compiling the emacs from apple source and I get an error concerning an undefined function in libXpm. I'll look at it again in a little while. What's fink?

There is a cocoa version of xemacs, but it's oooooooooooold: http://homepage.mac.com/pjarvis/xemacs.html Thanks sveijk for the pointer to xemacs. I actually want GNU emacs though, not XEmacs. I'll see if I can make use of the xemacs patch to compile GNU emacs. I've installed XEmacs, and...

I want to have GNU emacs 20.7.1 with X support. Do you suppose I can get the source that apple used for their non X supporting version of gnu emacs?

Okay, but the attachment is called something like blah.pl. TextEdit tells me that it will save it in rtf format, and then it says to supply a new name. But I don't see any way to supply a different name. I can use endian's suggestion though and just drag the file.

Wull golly! Who'd a thought? It's so simple. Thanks! I'm a newbie, and no the word documents and the perl scripts are two separate attachments I get, completely unrelated to each other. Thanks again.

Okay, not only do I not know how to do anything with word files people keep sending me, becuase I don't have word for mac, and it won't let me save the attachment. If I get a text attachment, it opens with textedit. Fine, but if I try to save it, it says "Textedit doesn't save in simpletext...

I have a message that appears to have blank subject and from headers (judging by the mailbox window). If I click on the message, Mail.app hangs and I have to kill it. Do you know how I can delete this message without Mail.app trying to read it? People send me microsoft word documents all the...

I want to have the host/domain name part of the message id match what I have in the From header. For example: Say hostname on my machine prints: bob.earthlink.net What I get now always includes this hostname, e.g.: Message-ID: <20dm2md.20fdm249&#64;bob.earthlink.net> Instead I want...

What mail client do you recommend? I read bad things about Mail.app but haven't actually tried it yet. I haven't figured out how to disable Javascript in outlook express, so I don't think I can use it (for fear of viruses). I have to be able to send email as though it originates from one of...

Sorry, I'm a complete nubie: Can I remove my Intel PRO/100+ ethernet card from my "ibm" pc, put it into my 450MHZ G4, and expect it to work?
