Display blackout, in stages

Hello 1400 List, My 1400c started going bad by, now and then, showing vertical lines 2mm apart on the top half of the screen. Then, the backlight went, but by angling the reflection I could still make out what was on the screen. Then, total balckout. I tried turning it off and on a few times.

WebCam & DigitalRadar SW (was Re: Where to find "QuickTimeLib")

Hi Brain, Yes, I am still testing this. I did find a way to mount the cam near the doorway but internally, facing the door. There is a porch and I expect to leave a porch light on 24/7, esp. if it will help prevent 'false' photos. The length of the cable seems sufficient. I was thinking about us

All this ARA provider stuff works in 8.6? I thought it was still purchase-only at that time (for server). That's easier than getting setup over a 3rd party provider then (via PPP), then. B Well, the Mac placing the call just needs OS 8, as far as I know. I've been doing this on-and-off for 6-7

Not anymore. ARA Client/Server is now implemented in the Remote Access control panel under OS 9 (and possibly 8.5+). Well, a stripped down version of ARA Server, anyway, but good enough for a single user. I'm pretty sure the _server_ feature is only in 9. And he's 8.6 on the 3400 at this ti
