I have a (formerly) G4 400MHz gigabit ethernet PowerMac that I have upgraded significantly. It now has a single 1.4GHz G4 from Giga-designs and 1.4 GB RAM, along with a Radeon 9000 Pro 64MB video card. Thus, as you can see you can upgrade your sy…

This is why I stick with laser printers. The toner lasts FOREVER (~3000 pages). A crotchety old HP Laserjet 4MP replaced my Epson Stylus 740 about a year ago. I never looked back. Blueflame *kicks Epson next to desk*

It is impossible to touch your toes if your heels, the back of your knees (no bending at the knees!) and bottom are flat against the wall. I tried for hours on end... A giraffe has exactly 7 bones in its neck. Blueflame

Quote: Originally posted by shatteringglass Umm, no. I am using Panther 10.3, not a developer version. Forgive me then, as I have yet to experience this bug. Blueflame

Quote: Originally posted by shatteringglass Text renders weirdly in Panther, especially Safari 1.1. Sometimes, the insertion point doesn't match up with the text that is being typed. Like, after typing for a while in a text field, there would be …

Whatever happened to good old ftp? [MyMac:~] username$ ftp ftp.apple.com It's simple, fast, stable, no nonsense and takes roughly 30 seconds to learn if you know anything at all about using the command line. If this is not the case, my apolog…

There must be something weird going on, because MPlayer plays it like a flip book on my computer. I couldn't watch that for more than a few seconds without worrying about seizures. Strange, Quicktime does OK with lower resolutions for me, doesn…
