Perhaps one of the problems with the $12 computer is that it is being designed as a computer. I seem to recall that one of the stated reasons behind the XO-1 (the "$100 laptop") w…

Yer the IIe sounds good. Need to researh it a bit more, most sites are from the US.

Me and a freind liberated a IIe from school and it works great, and is sweet to look at and play with but with no software it is just eyecandy. I was wondering how can I get games …

Me and a friend saved an IIe from school, and I *used* to have a II growing up as a kid, so I would say go with the IIe just because it is the beefed up II and would have more soft…

There is a reason that McDonalds cash registers are nothing but pictures of food on the keys! Click to expand... Perhaps the people pushing the buttons aren't from the US.

I don't think anybody in the US has a clue what a 3rd world nation needs for education considering what a mess the school systems in the US are like. There is a reason that McDonal…

In 10.4 and 10.5 there is a VNC server built in. Go to system prefs, Sharing, and I believe you can enable it in the options for Apple Remote Desktop.

Apparently Vine Server has a monopoly on suitable VNC servers for Mac OS X. So I put it back online with Vine Server, we'll see if it crashes again.

yeah...i'm in agreement with Patrickcool here. i don't think the iphone has any bearing on their decision to repair those machines. in fact, i'm going to be so bold as to say tha…

This is neat, I need to install a VNC client on my machine first. There needs to be more things like this.

I think if someone else is on it you may not connect. So try again later.
