Re: Now this is Apple like the good old days!
I think I paid something like 1500 for a 24 pin wide format dot matrix Apple Printer to go with my Fat Mac 512. That printer would wake the dead! And I used to run a relational database (Reflex) that came on one single-sided floppy, back when people wrote tight code.

Re: Mackeeper Info Thread
I still recommend MacKeeper until I hear what problems Beverly has encountered. It will, if you ask it to, give you a list of apps that need updating and provides and provides one click access to download the updates. It will also list applications from which you can then choose to uninstall. it will also watch and if it sees you drag an application to the trash it will hop in and ask if you want mackeeper's wise uninstaller to uninstall that app. It has lots of other bells and whistles, duplicate finders, encryption, etc. I really wish Beverly would give more information about problems she encountered. meanwhile here is a list of uninstallers http://en.softonic.com/mac/uninstallers-cleaners Heres a page about a 3rd party software updater called MacFresh http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-automatically-keep-your-macs-apps-fresh-updated/ Kim On Mon, Jan 23, 2012 at 11:38 AM, Cap'n Bob McBurney wrote: > On 1/21/12 6:07 PM, Cap'n Bob McBurney wrote: > > I want to buy software to use as update and one that has an unistaller > included.

Re: MacKeeper info
Did the software, MacKeeper, cause problems or did the users cause problems? If you are aware of problems I should be looking out for I would love to know what the are. MacKeeper has been very dependable for me in uninstalling software, which is what I believe he was asking about.

Kim, it might be helpful to provide a little more info on what
model eMac you have, and what exactly the symptoms are. Does the
screen (icons, windows, cursor) lock up, does it come up with a
dimmed warning screen that says "you need to restart your computer"
in 5 different languages, does it simply power down, etc. The
symptoms that you're experiencing are vital for the rest of us on
the list to provide an accurate diagnosis of your problem.
To find the specifications of your computer, click on the Apple
menu, and select About this Mac, and note the OSX version number,
the Processor speed, and RAM.
The 1.25Ghz G4 eMacs are known to have problems with the capacitors
on the motherboard; If (and I stress IF!) this is the problem, you
can either replace the capacitors (which requires a somewhat
complete knowledge of soldering techniques) or just replace the
motherboard.
