Which program is it running? I managed to get around an earlier copy of Foolproof by getting the Network Start Disk from Apple, and dragging the Foolproof extensions (etc) to the trash, then restarting. 7, I believe, is on Apple's site. If you have a PC, you should be able to download them, S

2001-10-04 Thread Eric McCann
A simple question, perhaps... but how customizable is the Launcher? Outside of dragging things to it, and choosing small, med, or large icons, I can't see much to customize on it. Just curious. It kind of reminds me of OS/2 (3.x and optional in 4.x's) LaunchPad, but that I could easily get t

I think that's more like you're running Windows *IN* your mac, isn't it? Going to post details? (Hey, Mac cases have more style anyway... too bad you can't modify (to my knowledge) the Mac floppy drive to work on a PC MB) -Eric -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by and

FWIW, Juno and NetZero are now merged to United Online... Given the lousy service I've gotten from Juno, I don't consider this good news. And I don't think either one has a Mac client. (Juno has webmail, and you CAN get NetZero email through any POP client - though you can't send from a differ

Thanks, so far... And peeking inside my Quadra, I see what was meant by the connector being longer. Learn something new every day... Now I'm trying to find out just which SuperMac card I have on here. I'll be replacing the PRAM battery shortly, hopefully that'll help. What would also help (if

Hey-lo all, 'couple IIsi questions here... 1. My IIsi has an aftermarket video card in it, taking up its one and only expansion slot. It *looks* like the onboard video is toasted - absolutely no reaction when I hook up the video to the default slot. Is there any way to "repair" the onboard video

Going to try this straight from the website and see if it behaves... Syquest is out of business. Iomega bought some of their intellectual property, but... *shrug* I'd JUST gotten my wife a Sparq drive maybe a month before, too. (1 Gb IDE drive.) Needless to say, it was somewhat annoying! In
