Re: Firefox question
If you haven't had problems with NoScript and ForecastFox in the past, the problem is likely that the AccuWeather.com servers are down now having maintenance done, often the case at this time of night. Otherwise, you should look to NoScript and make sure you've white- listed the AccuWeather.com site that ForecastFox gets its data from. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

The only times I've ever had this issue it was a flaky USB device causing it. Do you possibly have another KB and Mouse to test it? Also look in the system log at the shutdown time (you can usually display more of the system log to see what happens through the shutdown and restart cycle) and see if anything weird seems to be happening (which is hard to tell if you don't knwo what's 'normal', I'll admit.) -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

You don't need to take any action to prevent user's home directories from access (even as an admin user). The only available directories to other users are Public (which is read-only, except for the drop box, which is write-only...you can put files in, but you cannot get in there to see what's there) and Sites (also read-only, which is where user-level websites are saved.

Why use a mechanism designed to separate user data and other settings when you come up with your own mildly convoluted ad-hoc exploit of the file system permissions to probably achieve sorta the same purpose?

The Home & Student edition of Microsoft Office comes with three Product Keys and may be used in three installations at the same time. Only setback: it is not upgradeable, meaning: if the time comes to upgrade you'll have to buy the full version (Standard, Professional or Home & Student) again, since you cannot use an upgrade version on a Home & Student version. The Home & Student edition is what I am using. Bought it on eBay, got it with the three Keys and use it happily ever since. It's my all time favorite for Mac OS X: Office:mac 2004. I heard that Office:mac 2001 is said to be the best for Classic Mac OS (7-9.2.2?).

Re: RJ45 Aggravations
Pretty much that is how it is done.. MOST people use B for straight through and for crossover they use A on one end and B on the other end. The only thing I might see you having problems with is if your wire is solid or stranded and if the connector is made for the one you don't have. There are video's all over YouTube that have people showing how to put one of those ends on. Or you can go to a supply houses website and they will have directions on the proper way to put the end on. http://www.lanshack.com/make-cat5E.aspx Hope this helps. Gus.
