Re: Pismo sucess! (was Pismo disaster - please help!)
many thanks to Laurent, Nancy, Kyle, and Pauline for their help in diagnosing my (daughter's Christmas present) unresponsive Pismo 500mhz! it was the RAM, as was suggested by you fine people, though i wasn't sure if i had damaged the chip, or the slot. since my son has a Pismo 400mhz (his Christmas prezzie last year), i decided to get a 500mhz processor WITH a 512Mb RAM chip bundled on eBay, as either another faster processor, or another 512Mb chip would come in handy... weirdly, while the old daughtercard was not working with the old RAM, but the new card/old RAM, and old card/new RAM combinations both work, so i ended up in a good place. no, i have no idea what the problem was! all in all it was an extra, unwelcome, expense, but now i've gone from 400 and 500 mhz machines with 512Mb RAM each, to two 500 mhz machines with 768Mb RAM each and a spare 400mhz processor for a rainy day... always a good thing with two high-schoolers in a demanding school. ;) thanks again! best regards, David Thrower __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: Default Application in OS X Panther
Select one of your .doc documents. Don't open it. Select get info from the file menu. Under the option for Open with:, select Microsoft Word. Below that you should see this option: Use this application to open all documents like this. Right below that you should see a button called Change All. Click that button and it will change Microsoft Word to the default application. Regards, -- Aaron Willems Network Administrator Lieberman Productions Philo Television Hello. I have Microsoft Office 2004 and Nisus Express 2.1. Recently I upgraded my Nisus to the newest version (very nice, by the way) but somehow my PowerBook got confused and thinks that ALL .doc documents should open in Nisus. How can I set the default back to Word? Andrew -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

These are relatively simple old games and my interest in video games pretty much peaked with Joust and Tetris, so I don't need anything too fancy, but using the keyboard for games just isn't the same. Bluetooth? USB? Firewire? I will give you a USB Macally iStick joystick that works with OS8.5 to 9.? I can't find an OSX driver, and I don't use OS9 anymore on my desktop. For any USB input device that you can't find a driver for use USB Overdrive. There is a version for 8.5-9.x and one for X. It can be found at versiontracker.com. I'm not associated with the writer just a satisfied user. John Thanks I tried it and it works. The 20 dollar shareware is more than the stick is worth but I don't mind the nag screen. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
