    Old iBook to new iBook

    Are you gonna make the transfer of files through CDs? If you don't have much data, that would work. Another option is getting a firewire cable (6 to 6 pin) for about 20 bucks and transferring the data using Target Disk mode. Its faster. For your new iBook, consider partitioning its hard...

    GMail Invites

    Webmail only, for now. Pop support will come later. It's still to be determined whether it'll be free or at a "nominal cost."

    iBook G3 vs G4

    I have an iBook G3 900 (384MB ram). It's going to be a year old sometime this month. I can see myself holding on to this iBook for at least another year. It handles my tasks well: web surfing, music-listening, audio cropping, mail stuff, instant messaging, word processing, website building...

    How do I know if my PB is receiving a wireless signal?

    If you're running OSX... In the applications folder, look for "Internet Connect." Double-click. Once its window emerges, click on "Airport" (top of window). You should now see the network name and the signal strength. Then, make sure there's a check mark next to "show airport status in...

    Airport Won't Auto Login

    If you haven't already told airport to join a (valid) specific network upon waking up from sleep (and such)... Go to System Preferences. Click on Network. From the "Show" dropdown menu, choose Airport. Make sure the "Airport" tab is highlighted. At this point you should be able to set how...

    Guinness World Record 'Silent Computer' explained

    It's easy for some Hispanic-Americans (whose primary language is English) to translate "support" as "soportar". How uneducated they sound saying "Soportemos a nuestras tropas!" It means, "Lets tolerate our troops!" Now, if they said "Soportemos a Bush," no corrections needed, I suppose... :D

    I love the new hover feature!!!!

    Would be good if instead of activating itself when the mouse is resting over a table cell, it would become active when you hover over a specific icon. It gets on the way as it is.

    Which step did you miss? I'd say the third one. Did you select the right disc?

    My first url - now where to host it?

    You can say that again. Hadn't noticed the speed issue, though. Anybody who wants to see how big of an issue it is, visit my site and see for yourself. If phatcactus is right, then I just missed it...

    AirPort Extreme

    Whichever wireless router you get, you can use it as a bridge (as opposed to having the wireless router distribute ip addresses). It's possible, however, that with the wireless router you can put your current router to rest, if the new one has enough ports for all your equipment.

    My first url - now where to host it?

    I've been using ICDSoft since May, I think. It's 5 bucks a month. 333MB webspace, 5 Gigs bandwidth, 999 Emails (Imap/pop/webmail), and all the goodies you can expect from a more expensive host (php, mysql, etc., etc.). Their network is great, and so is their customer support. ICDSoft is the...

    Appleworks Printing problems

    making a website

    I second Arden's suggestion: try geocities. It's where I created my very first webpage, back in August of 2000, I think.
