If anyone has a clue or a lead where I could go to help my parents with the
following problem I would be in your debt!
My dad has a mac mini and my mom has a ibook and both were sharing an Epson
stylus printer using an airport modem. Everything was working fine and they
were using Verizon DSL.

That is normal.

What about just emailing the file to yourself? I'm sure the computer
isn't so old that it doesn't have a slot that could be plugged into a
phone jack.

Let me give you another example where the new technology failed over the
old...
Problem is, one of the damned things borked the password we input and now we
can't manage it at all. What's the secondary management interface? Serial.

This was one of the reasons why it was so important to break up the phone

I can't tell you more than in my experience Thunderbird has some complex
hooks. It got a small corruption on my PC which I have never been able
to get rid of despite troubleshooting and uninstalls and reinstalls. I
ended running Tbird in its safe mode to avoid the symptom.

It costs significantly more than analog video and adds nothing in terms of
value to the normal business app. I save *at least* $100 per PC this way,
about 15% of the total cost of the PC, for which our CFO is eternally
grateful. I can then use those savings for other useful technology or for
CRTs? I haven't bought one of those in almost 2 years, not since LCD panels
became near equal in price. I'll be selling what CRTs remain once they
rotate out, donating them to a poorer .org or just recycle them.

poorer.
