Re: OS X desktop icon bug, I cannot believe...
From: Claire Hart [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'll tell you what came to mind when I read your post. (1) If your preferences are NOT set to snap-to-grid, and (2) you've been gathering a collection of icons all over your desktop, and then (3) you decide to switch your preferences TO snap-to-grid, and then (4) you select SOME or ALL of your desktop items and drag them just a little bit, then: The result is that each icon snaps to the closest point on the grid. Some go up a little, some go down a little, some go left a little,etc... They all do appear to fly a little, and they all end up in the grid rather than random. Could that be what you are describing?

Re: Bridging between airport and ethernet
As far as I know, there's no way of bridging the connections in the manner you describe. Your best bet would be to get a dedicated wireless-ethernet bridge unit, they're fairly inexpensive.

Lombard and HP printer issue
Really sorry for the fuzzy info, but . . I came across something about this when trawling Apple's techinfo for help with my freezing lombard. Try searching again, it's in there.

With the printer connected to the USB port on my Lombard 333 running 10.2.8, if the computer goes to sleep, it refuses to reawaken, forcing one to use the three finger restart. -- The VidaVerde Seed Collection 14 Southdown Avenue, Lewes East Sussex, BN7 1EL Excellent Vegetables For the Kitchen Garden: Illustrated Catalogue at http://www.realseeds.co.uk Or call 01239 821107 for a paper copy. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Peripheral buying advice needed (slightly OT)
4. Analogue - Digital video in box Firewire A little unsure, but I am looking at a low end but useable unit, I have seen the odd DivX licenced unit (Plextor ConvertX PVR DivX)... That would be great, but I looked at their site and it seems to be windows-only and usb2. I would love to have a box like that (doing the compression in hardware). Firewire would be the best, but I could settle with usb2 if it worked with a mac - then I could use it with my Powerbook (so it is slightly ON topic :-)). I actually have a Miglia card that sits inside my BW (upgraded to a G4 processor; this card seems to need at least a G4). It's ok, but: can not do DivX or any version of MPEG4 compression (the processor is not powerful enough; have to settle with M-JPEG compression) and cannot be used with a mac except a PowerMac (since it is a PCI card).

Re: Peripheral buying advice needed (slightly OT)
I think LaCie 's burner is a good choice as is the HP printer (I have one myself). For the Analog Digital converter, take a look at Miglia products. I've seen them at CompUSA, Mall, Zones, JR, even SmallDog and OWC! There's a $40 mail in rebate on the DC converter. If you don't want the full frame by frame editability and simply, try their new Evolution TV box or their current PCI DVR tuner card(if an internal solution will work for you). I had not seen this post when I previously replied... this new Evolution TV box seems very promising and reasonably affordable. Another option, also usb, is from Elgato. In addition to their EyeTV firewire products, they have just introduced EyeTV wonder usb. It seems to be even cheaper than the Miglia product.

replacement CD drive for Wallstreet?
Hello all I just got a message from my father in law saying that the CD drive on his Wallstreet has finally stopped just as he was loading his tax preparation software. Obviously the critical need sensor is working just fine. Anyway I'm looking for a CD drive for him and was wondering if there were different models to look for (or avoid). I know there is a good CD drive and a bad CD drive for the Lombard/Pismo and was wondering if there were similar choices for the Wallstreet. I was also thinking about looking for a DVD drive (and card). I know he'd be pleased, he was so happy when I set him up with a wireless card. But I'm not sure that a 233 MHz Wallstreet is going to play DVDs properly even with the hardware decoder card. I'm sure it will cost more but it never hurts to ask... -- Andrew in Ann Arbor Needham Road just south of the Washtenaw/Stadium intersection -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: FinderPop like utility for OS X
Response to Bruce: Fruitmenu WILL do what Finderpop did. Think someone referred to it as 'Drilling' folders. At any rate, configure the 'fruitmenu' pane of the Fruitmenu System Preference panel to permit 'click and hold mouse to access contextual menu in finder' to whatever delay suits you. Then access the contextual menu pane of the Fruitmenu pref panel to include whatever you need in the contextual menu - mounted volume, selected folder are good choices. Remove 'dance for me, wash my clothes, fix dinner'. Add whatever you like. I added Moveitems X because it allowed transport of files to the drilled folder, in the manner of Popup Folder, which was orphaned and stopped functioning after an OS 8.x update. At any rate both Popup Folder and Finder pop were very elegant and easy to use. Can see why fruitmenu doesn't appear to be a replacement, as it does do a lot more and requires some persistence to configure. I also have folders that pop out of the apple menu, for instance. Response to Laurent: (with great humbleness and respect to the listnanny) Think that Finderpop's developer drifted away from the mac - or he wasn't a full time developer. At any rate Finderpop was distributed as a variation of shareware 'pintware', where satisfied users were encouraged to send the author beer/stout money. This might explain his lack of progress F. on 01/03/05 14:59, Bruce Johnson at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Feb 28, 2005, at 9:00 PM, Frank Cornew wrote: Fruitmenu coupled with moveitems X has made for a satisfactory substitute for Finderpop (which substituted for popup folder) It appears from reading the Fruitmenu site that it does everything EXCEPT the ONE thing I need it to do (and the ONE thing I used FinderPop for)...pop up the contextual menu when I hold down the mouse button. There is a utility called 'Look Mom, No Hands', also for OS 9 and lower that does just this but it doesn't work with OS X either. It's all I want. I don't need my menus to replace the finder, dance for me wash my clothes and fix dinner, I just want them to pop up without me having to use two hands... Bruce, Do you think such utility would be useful and that a lot of people would use it? I'm kinda wondering why the other of FinderPop never ported his application to OS X...

Lombard cd-rom problem?
I am having trouble playing Diablo and Diablo II on my Lombard 333mhz, 128mb ram, OS 9.1, and using the internal cd-rom. In the first case the system looks for the cd for a loong time, accompanied by much clicking. Sometimes the cd has to be reinserted a couple of times and then after a long wait it is finally mounted. After it is eventually seen the cd usually runs ok. In Diablo II it sees the cd fine but freezes up during any heavy action scene. In both cases I am using clean original cds. Some other cds take awhile to mount but generally work ok. Games which run off the hd work fine, only with Diablo which must use the cd do I have trouble. I am wondering whether any of this might be fixed by getting another cd-rom for my Lombard, or is there some other known reason it has such trouble with Diablo?
