I'm going to talk to the other mods, they may hold a different opinion...but I just find it quite suspicious that a member signs up, and has a link in his signature to a business l…

Never happened before, never had any complaints? Yeah it's not often a new (and deleted) user has a friend on the forum to bring it to your attention....if it was me and I got dele…

I reckon you guys (moderators) are just a little bit over zealous in cleaning up this forum. When it's getting to the point that a friend has to post question on behalf of another …

I bet it was another one of those "inteligent" spammers that reads other posts and assembals a post based on them,m and it had just read the Snow Leopard thread before spamming.

Ah, he had a link in his signature to an Indian data entry website. That screams spammer to me. Anyway, the post, and all related posts have been removed. Click to expand... I…

I have a Security panel on my 10.6 System Preferences. It's under the "personal" group and is represented by a picture of a house with what appears to be a safe lock on it. This is…

Apple doesn't provide a control panel called "Security". He probably needs to uninstall or update whatever 3rd party software it's part of.

Ah, he had a link in his signature to an Indian data entry website. That screams spammer to me. Anyway, the post, and all related posts have been removed.

Yeah, the Cadillac...very neat concept that never quite made it. I wonder if this one actually has the real Newton OS? The only other one I've ever seen photos of had a very barebo…

This question was posted in the software forum in a thread about System 7.0.1. Some have accused Mr. Thomas of being a spammer, although I am under the impression that he is simply…

a toaster oven with a device controlling the thermal curve would be the best, and closest to the factory, a hot coin is not going to do anything, a can of burning whatver is just g…

[i'll make a scan of it. Click to expand... May you live to be a thousand years old, sir!

Seems the shim method isn't the best. Works for a while then dies. I've been reading plenty of weird and wonderful re-flowing techniques involving heatguns, burning alcohol in met…

the heat gun would work as long as you keep in mind thermal stresses, and dont heat up or cool down anything super quick. Also its going to have to be a fairly stout heat gun, I tr…

I got the 500 to boot off a iMac install CD (my iBook only came with 10.2 install CDs) so it seems in ok shape apart from the hard disk. As for the 800, I read about applying heat…

Like Flash and Real Audio and VideoWorks, the player program was free. The movie encoder program was for sale. So the MacMovies on a BMUG disk won't make a movie, but will play bac…

Actually, the Hardware Test CD is booting now on the 500. I got a bit muddled and was actually using the AppleCare TechTool CD instead (it's been a long day :I ) . I think it mig…

Hi trag, yes you remember right, but why anybody'd want to add ROM code to a 25-year old Mac is beyond me. In the day, we needed to add code to init our SCSI port and support the …

The DIPs are historical artifacts. Until the early or mid 1990s, most monitors used a fixed frequency. For all intents and purposes, this meant that a monitor ran at particular h…
