That is the problem with the "cheap" Palm type devices!

That is an interesting perspective for those who can afford to upgrade every piece of software they own to run under X, but for the rest of us OS 9 is still very much alive.

Just an update! I partitioned my HD with 9 Gig for 10 and 20 for 9, then my installer told me that I could not install Jaguar, because I did not have a version of 10 on the HD already-CUTE! I guess that copy of Jaguar is an update only (got it from Apple for my G4 as-you guessed it, an update for $

Re: Lubricating an HP inkjet printer

For anyone interested, DuraLube's squirt can of oil melted the rubber around my power antenna on my car and made it impossible to run up or down. I would use something less aggressive like sewing machine oil and not much of that. Tom on 12/13/02 8:36 PM, sean weijand at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Re: Cannon Camera Problem

Avoid the problem by purchasing a card reader, either one for your PCMCIA slot or even better a Lexar Firewire reader, which is what I use with mine. I never hook my camera up directly to my Pismo and just use one of my readers. Tom on 12/13/02 11:11 AM, jcallahan at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I

Re: Internal Combo Drive not found using Jaguar

Re: Internal Combo Drive not found using Jaguar

I had a similar problem with both my G4 and my Pismo after I updated my Toast to 5.0.2 and I had to go into my extensions to take out all those that the upgrade had put in. After spending quite a while doing that, I can finally get Toast to see my burners again. Tom on 12/10/02 21:48, [EMAIL PRO

Re: Looking for items for G3 Wallstreet

Re: Pismo RAM recommendations

Then you must has some strange RAM, because the full size chips I have fit perfectly in both the upper and lower slots in my Pismo and the Apple Service Manual does not specify low profile RAM in the lower slot either. I have put two 512 chips in three Pismos so far and have never purchased the low
