I just got my eeepc. High five! It turn out my Dell E310 (a bargain basement desktop) was my first Linux box if and only if I installed Fedora (nothing supported the USB controller).

[CGUYS] Safari annoyances
I upgraded to Safari 3.1.x on my MacBook yesterday. It crashes every time I try to get contextual menus. I have Safari 3.1.2 on my G4 and it doesn't crash. How do I fix the version on the MacBook? When I did a crash report, I told Apple that I was going back to Firefox and SeaMonkey until Safari is fixed for Intel Macs. FWIW, I have OS X v.10.4.11 on both Macs, but haven't done the last firmware update on the MB. Betty p.s. could be worse--took all day to get the Dell we just got to find the network and then the Internet. The other PC can't find a boot disk at all. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

Re: [CGUYS] Safari annoyances
If it's the actual version of Safari that is screwing up, as opposed to a setting that the new version might change, you could try throwing your new version in the trash and downloading an older version from a place like this: http://www.filehippo.com/download_safari/ b_s-wilk wrote: I upgraded to Safari 3.1.x on my MacBook yesterday.

Re: [CGUYS] The blessed ones
I like it, it does have a small screen and keyboard. The Xandros based interface is a little rinky-dink so I want to try Ubuntu (the common practice is run that OS off a thumb drive or SD card). I also have yet to see how it fares as as pseudo- desktop by connecting to external monitor, keyboard, hard drive etc. As a portable device is pretty satisfying. (Unfortunately I bought the cheap 1.4 hour batteries). -PJM Checkout One Laptop Per Child project laptop.org --- On Sun, 7/20/08, Tom Piwowar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: Tom Piwowar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [CGUYS] The blessed ones > To: COMPUTERGUYS-L@LISTSERV.AOL.COM > Date: Sunday, July 20, 2008, 12:27 PM > >I just got my eeepc.

WFBs get so emotional as Microsoft slips into irrelevance. They would play ostrich while significant changes are occurring in the computer industry. I think it is much more useful to pay attention.
