Hi gang. New member nere. I'm running a Beige G3 233 first generation with a bit more RAM. I have to admit, I'm barely just a "user." To explain, I used to work in marketing communications (used to be called "advertising") when I was in Detroit. Lots of gearheads around, but we were still the minority. Someone would say, "I just bought a new car, a (blank)." I'd ask, "Great, which engine did you get? The 4, the 4-valve 4, the V6 or the overhead-dual-cam V6?!?" and they'd look at me and say, "Uhm, uh, gas?"
I used to look down upon those folks, but now I is one. I know my way around my Mac, but I am definitely not an "enthusiast." So if I say something completely wrong, call me on it. (Also, the memory isn't what it used to be.) Just saw this: > I bought a zip 100 drive from a friend, so she can make document backups as > she was used to, and added an PCI USB/FW card so I can do maintenance and > transfers to and from the G3, but the card does not show up! If I remember correctly, I could not see any USB or FW device until I went to 9.2. Now a couple of questions. I checked the archives and didn't find any answers: I have a couple of files (okay, like 300) with damaged resource forks. Is there a way to repair these? Or am I stuck with "Copy, Rename, delete original"? It seems so stone-age to do this on a computer of any kind. Second, one of the resource forks is on my MS Word 5.1, and it's screwing up my address book in the "Create Envelope" tool. Where are these addresses stored and can I retrieve them before I trash the Toolbar Preferences file, which has a damaged resource fork? Thanks, glad I found you guys ...
