(Sorry if you get this twice) Forgive me if this has been covered but . . . I've just got a new TIBook (800 - very nice too). I'm diving into Mac OS X for the first time (so far so good) BUT I have an Epson Stylus Color 850 printer which has the old serial connector. I've installed a Keyspan

Vlad, I spent some time in the UK, and experienced several of the ISPs there. I must say, without hesitation, the best service came from demon.co.uk. They were professional, helpful, and responsive. They set me up with a UK dialin account before I left the USA, on the phone, in 5 1/2

Wow! No USB port on the 850? I've got a Stylus Color 740 and it has all three: PC serial, USB, and Apple printer port. Plus the drivers were built into OS X (*I consider myself lucky*) Have you tried the obvious yet: 1. Go to Print Center (hope/pray permissions aren't screwed up so you can

Yes the Lombard hinges do tend to get weak over time. But they're NOT THAT BAD. And considering that they can be replaced for less than $100, it's probably not worth whining about too much. If I were bent double four or five times a day, then slung in a backpack and bounced across town, I'd
