Hi all, I was the guy whining a week or two ago about not being able to put up a web site on .Mac. I am happy to say that I have found a workaround (ahem). OSX contains within its glossy innards the Apache server software. So, any Mac running OSX can turn into a server running its own web site.
Now, I am sure many of you already knew this, I am often enough a mile back around the curve, but it was a shock for me. Nowhere on the box or in the enclosed documentation do I see anything about this. This seems to me to be a lot more significant than touting the ability to search for restaurants. All that said, my smart little 350 blueberry iMac is now a server. I wouldn't have believed it possible. You can view my first effort, made in AppleWorks 6 on word processing, converted to html in the "Save As" panel, at: >>>>> >>>>> http://219.45.224.40/~thomasbridgeland/ If you have not got OSX yet, all I can say is I am psyched. It is great, even on an older iMac. Buy it, and buy David Pogues' "Missing Manual" too. Worth every penny. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
