um... OK. are you sure? I remember, in the past (though this was a decade ago), doing this by just switching the control in the TCP/IP control panel to use AppleTalk and then setti…

So basically nothing has changed but you expect different results. Forums (and IRC channels) live and die by the carefull selection of rules and ENFORCMENT of those rules, not by …

LaserWriter 12/640 was my first LaserWriter (I got it in a lot along with a 4/600). I think it was about two years ago when I first got it. Served very well in my apartment for a y…

I think it would be need if there were basic diagrams of the cards showing PCB layout and such for quick ident and just the neat factor. Click to expand... Well, we're trying t…

Bad things happen to all of us all of the time. Thing is, very few of them are tragedies. If we lose our job, we look for a new job. If we lose a friend, we try to make amends o…

Any good old fashioned TV repair person could do it - you don't necessarily need someone who knows computers, you just need someone handy with a soldering iron and a good collectio…

I'll see what I can do...
