Please take your queries to the right list.
There are two ways to receive G-List: as individual email messages or in digest mode. In digest mode, messages are collected by the list server and sent as part of one larger message once per day. This is less immediate than message mode, but also greatly reduces mailbox clutter.
Be sure your return address is correct before subscribing -- the list server will use the return address of the message you send as your subscription address.
To subscribe, send email to < [EMAIL PROTECTED] >.
To switch to digest mode, follow the instructions in the footer of each posted message. If that doesn't work, contact < [EMAIL PROTECTED] >.
Or, in the generic: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/>

Paul, Not quite correct. Those were Andrews words. I said as a hint;
The USB is the tip -off. And I don't think an add-on card will qualify in this case.
By the way Andrew , any 7X00, 8X00 or 9X00 Macs in your collection ? ;- )
And later said ;
Andrew we love ALL Mac users on this list. ( right folks ? ) Because a large number of us probably have other older or newer Macs around too.
It's just that your Beige specific questions would probably get a greater number of more relevant responses on the " G " list and/or the OS X list.
A matter of utilizing resources more effectively for everyone. That's why these lists are broken down along these lines if I get it correctly .
Yes, Andrew you belong here as well as anyone with an older 5X00, 6X00,7X00, 8X00 or 9X00 PCI Powermac . Which a Beige is not
I have been trying to put Andrew on the right path since Sunday without starting a flame war.
