MacGroup: browsing

I recently re-installed Panther. It asked whether I wanted to import settings from a different computer. I said "No," because there was no other computer. It saved the old data in a folder called "Previous Systems", but did not import settings, etc. I then erred by trying to move old settings i

Yes, I do McJanitor regularly , if only for the nice little dustbroom look and my wish it could clean my real house, and yes, to hack chron in the terminal might just be a bit challenging to some like me, if they don't have a tutor looking over their shoulder during the process. Marta On

Lee, and you all-- thanks for all this insight. I shall need a life extension to study all of this, But seriously, is it better to leave your computer on constantly? I thus far I usually turn mine off at night, but then, maybe I should only shut it off when thunderstorms hit, also because you

I assume this explains why my iMac seemed so slow last night after I turned it back on. We didn't have a power outage, but I shut down my machine just in case. Today I need to go out in the yard and pick up branches. Anne Cartwright Lee Larson wrote: > > > Since the power died last night, I
