Re: Long installer times

This takes an interminable time, 20mins last time I did an install. Do I have a problem or is this to be expected? Severin Crisp It all depends on the software you are installing. I don't think there's any way to control or predict the time taken for Optimising to take place. It is somewhat annoying, though, when an application takes about 90 seconds to install and 15 minutes to optimise. Perhaps they'll find a way to turn optimising into a background operation, so that it leaves our computers at least somewhat useable while it's taking place :-/ -- Peter HinchliffeApwin Computer Services FileMaker Pro Solutions Developer Perth, Western Australia Phone (618) 9332 6482Fax (618) 9332 0913 Mac because I prefer it -- Windows because I have to.

MacMice BT for sale
Hey guys, I have a MacMice Bt for sale. Here's a link: http://www.macmice.com/themousebt.html It's a bluetooth mouse that looks very similar to the Apple bluetooth mouse, but has 3 mouse buttons and a scroll wheel. However it's too close to an Apple bluetooth mouse for me, I've gotten used to huge oversized Windows rodents. Just bought this for $125, and it's in as-new condition (used about 3 times). I'd like to sell it for $115 and I'll deliver it. Anyone interested? Adam

Odd Pismo message
Have you seen this on a Pismo, what does it mean, and, what can I do about it please? I went to play a DVD having booted from OS 9.2.2 and got this - Apple DVD Player cannot open because the required hardware was not found If you have another application open that uses sound or video, quit that application and open Apple DVD Player again. If you are using a Powerbook that requires a DVD-Video PC Card, make sure the PC card is properly installed in the appropriate slot. (21) Quit I've changed drives without success. Best wishes, James
