Here in the Chicago area I used to commute into the Downtown area (The Loop to us natives) and always wondered why the trains, as new as they are, aren't equipped with power outlets--either 12v or 110v ones--would be easy to do with all the potential power the diesel locomotive generates. Off-

Re: PowerBook and Off road vehicles (slightly OT)

My 1400 lives a somewhat sheltered life. I had originally bought it to write with; no games, no internet, no MP3s. The love for the little Mac is still very powerful. Call me an over-protective parent. But it does go out from time to time. To my In-laws in the country. Most recently I took

OT - OS X shadow files?

In a local computer advertising/information mag, one of the writers has a continuous column on switching from pcs to a mac using OS X. In the latest installment, he comments on the 'shadow' files that begin with "._" which are evident when transferring files from a mac to a pc. I know they are

Re: OT - OS X shadow files?

These files are not on the Mac as individual files. The reason they show up on the 'doze machine is that the Mac filesystem stores additional data about each file (the "Resource fork"), which no other filesystem supports. MacOS seems to add these files on the 'doze side to preserve the metadata fr

Classic question

Hi everyone, What exactly is meant by "classic" ? I've seen both software and hardware that has stated compatible with Mac Classic. Also with Mac OS #.X.X so does this mean if a machine is loaded with say..8.0 then it could be upgraded to 8.1 then up and up from there or at least u

LoveThemBeatles2 writes, Classic means anything prior to OS X, that is, OS 9.2.2 and lower, although there are Classic applications which still have minimum OS requirements within the Classic "framework." For instance, the Toast 5 Lite CD burning software I use to make my backups, which requ

Re: Classic question

Classic can refer to two things. The classic OS is anything that is OS 9.2.2 or earlier, i.e. OS 8, 8.1, etc etc. back in the days prior to OS 8 it was called System 7, or System 7.5 or whatever, but it's still a classic OS. In OS X classic refers to a system emulator built in to the OS itself
