Setting up this new Mac Pro, I discover that Appletalk is no longer. I can't persuade the Pro to talk to my printer, an Epson ALC1900PS, via IPP, LPD or HP Jetdirect. No problems with the G5 and Appletalk. I dimly remember when first setting up the Epson that there was a compelling reason to use Ethernet rathe... 8 May 2010 09:01

iTunes/iPod sync notes - what's it all about?

Powerbook charging question
I've got an old G4 1.25 (or 1.33) PowerBook with a problem - the power supply is giving up the ghost. It's becoming harder and harder to get the thing to charge - I have to keep twisting the charger plug (where it goes into the PBoko) until the light comes on, and then any movement is likely to break the contact ag... 8 May 2010 21:06
