I received an LC475 running 7.1P and the system software was using 32Mb out of 36Mb. I did a clean install of 7.5.3 and it's just as bad. Surely it should be using less? I check…

Well, having beaten up freudling's The Elusive PowerBook 550c topic more than I had planned to, (apologies there) I just bit the bullet and purchased a tested known-working M1893 A…

Ugh, bad timing. It was down for a while today because of all the storms over where the host is. It is working fine now.

And a proxy gives me: couldn't connect to host So... try it from within a proxy, wackymacs!

Network Timeout The server at machut.valleyofthelights.com is taking too long to respond. The requested site did not respond to a connection request and the browser has stopped w…

The correct address is http://machut.valleyofthelights.com/ - works fine. Click to expand... Doesn't work for me.

From what I can gather, the server's up, but there's nothing on it. *crosses his fingers that Mac Hut comes back online sometime within my last 48 hours of access to high speed…

er... i get: Safari can’t open the page. Safari can’t open the page “http://www.valleyofthelights.com/jcoventry/machut” because the server where this page is located isn’t respon…

Just to let everyone know, the server is back up and its now hosted on OS X instead of Vista. Click to expand... It was hosted on Vista?! You've got a lot of nerve. >

If you can afford an active matrix display, get one. Even compared to recent displays the 1400c is quite nice and usable.

Just opened my Powerbook 1400 cs/166 which admittedly has been sitting idle for a while to find my LCD totally splintered not a happy bunny ... I have found various sites selling …

That should be 'of'. Dammit, I can't edit.

Gussie Fink-Nottle is, in the inimitable words or Bertie Wooster, a 'Newt fancier'. As Jeeves might put it, however, the MessagePad appellation is of my own invention.

Sorry for interrupting with non-Newton talk, but Gussie Fink-Notle?! Awesome! Did you make that up? Long time fan of P. G. Wodehouse here... Peace, Drew

Attention all 'Gussie Fink-Nottles'! Eckhart Köppen's new fix for the 2010 problem on the Newton MessagePad 2100 is now available here. Development is, I gather, also underway for…

"It depends." Take a read here: http://lukazi.blogspot.com/2009/04/game-controller-atari-joysticks.html There are different ways to adapt the digital-to-analog world of Atari-to…

I just prefer using D-pads over joysticks which is why I wanted to use a Genesis controller. Would it work?

I should correct the above: this is a 802.11b card, not g.

Hi: Yes, the card I used works under Classic Mac, even with Apple's stock Airport software. It even does 128 bit encryption under OS 9.x.x How did I find it? I looked and resea…

What? You found an 11b/11g card that works in OS 9? As far as I know, the Agere/Avaya/Lucent/Orinoco/WhoeverTheyAreToday chipset is 11b only. Apple moved to a Broadcom chipset f…

The wifi card will work under OS X, and it is 802.11g - it's an OEM Orinoco, a generic version of Apple's Airport Card used in their laptops. I have also installed the wifi into a…
