I have Internet Sharing enabled on the Grape Tiger G3, and allow its Airport connection to my DSL router to be shared over machines connected via Ethernet. So, on the tray load I can run iCab or early Mozilla and surf the web over this shared Airport connection. I have yet another G3, a slot-load Tangerine DV model also running OS 9.2.2 with Airport connection to a DSL router, that I'd like to replace the Grape Tiger with and then share the wireless internet connection with the trayloader . However, I can't figure out how to enable Internet Sharing on the Tangerine slot loader in the OS 9 control panels. Maybe it wasn't an available option in OS 9? OS 9 did, indeed, not have an Internet Sharing feature. Internet Router from www.sustainablesoftworks.com was the most common way to do it back then. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Re: wireless mice and labs
Those of us who work for schools where we have sense but are waay short on dollars would have gladly taken a few dollars off their hands to help them out with their sense problem. ;-) If I had a whole lab of brand new Macs (even with corded mice) I'd think I'd died and gone to heaven. I spend my days trying to get modern software to run on and prevent students/faculty from hosing up 10 year old PCs (which we inherit from companies and people wanting to get rid of them for something new) that have tiny hard drives, little memory, and no processor oooph (they are PCs of course).

The wireless mice were an unfortunate idea, but getting PCs and installing WIndows 7, or Vista, or any flavor of creamy Linux would have meant investing that money in a bigger IT department... Felix Yeah, about 10 years ago a friend ran his own print shop, and was an expert with pc and mac (had computer engineer degree, ran his own server, etc) and said that 'behind the scenes, Windows is a mess' Btw, kind of odd to run into an 'McBasher' on this forum... that guy should pack up and move to pcworld haha -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

I think I'm just going to leave it alone (at least until it fails). I can tackle this level of complexity but it looks like ther is plenty of opportunity to make things worst =( not better. I think this leans me towards a backup onto external hard drive, clean install, and then copy over what she needs now. Excellent leaning. Consider making that external drive a bootable clone with Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper. Alternatively, use the external drive with Time Machine. Or take the best of both worlds by getting two external drives, one for cloning and the other for Time Machine.
