Let's be clear... There is no LEM netiquette rule requiring (or even suggesting) bottom posting. There have been numerous discussions on the subject the result of which is that it is up to the individual to decide which method to use. As one who even did a little messaging from Argonne

Try plugging and unplugging the HD (yes, it's lame, but...) Try the HD on a different computer. Oh, and delete Norton. There's one virus that does any damage to pre-OSX macs, and unless you like your Hypercard, you won't get it. Todd Brayer toddbra...@gmail.com On Mon, Jul 25, 2011 at 3:08

Performa 630CD system

The kids pulled out my old Mac Performa and want to use it for games, but it apparently needs the system reinstalled (blinking question mark icon on startup). Can't find the system disk, or anything else that came with it, but there are games on the hard drive, and a few old games on floppies.

I had an original (1984) system floppy and tried booting up with that, knowing it was a dubious prospect. No go. The research I've done to this point suggests that the Performa 630CD came with its system disk on CD. I wondered about a keyboard command on startup (like the old rebuild the
