Re: the saddest day ever
Well, i wish i had a funny way of saying this, but i don't. Last week, my g3 bronze, 2 batteries, CD module, charger, wireless card, and my entire CD collection got stolen. I'm sure that some of you can sympathize with the experience (and at least it wasn't done in by dumping beer on the keyboard. right?). If you don't mind if i stay on the list, i'd like to. The only Sorry to hear about your loss. I don't know what your situation is, but you might want to file a police report, and then check with your insurance company to see if the loss is covered under your household or your renters insurance.

It seems to be just after the startup sound begins (not before) and not more than, say, a half second after it starts. At least that is my best guess, and even then it is hit or miss.

So, what might have been true (and logged as such) 3 or 4 weeks ago, may not necessarily be true today. Nonetheless, this is the information they are expounding currently: * The driver supports AppleTalk over IP but will not yet allow printing to AppleTalk printers. We are working to fix this. To connect to other Macs type: afp://ip-address in the connect to server dialog (e.g. afp://10.0.1.3). * If you have installed the latest version of the driver, both WEP and selection of closed networks are now supported for certain cards!! (They indicate which cards are supported) * The thing that *really* frosts my cake is that the Apple Internet Connect app does not recognize the sourceforge driver, thus the Airport menu-bar icon and menu are not available when using that driver. If I find out that Internet Connect recognizes the IOXperts driver, that might just be enough to push me into paying for it. The final thing that I found very disappointing was apparently no OS X stumbler seems to support wireless PCMCIA cards. That has nothing to do with the sourceforce driver, but it's really aggravating. I hope somebody proves me wrong on that one. Anyway, that's the latest scoop as I have run across it.
