Browsing bog. Thanks Google.
Apparently, Google Safe Browsing has had some problems over the past few days. If you're using a browser such as Safari 3.2.x or Firefox that supports it, you may have noticed your browsing was slower than normal. Sometimes a LOT slower -- especially if you're on a slower Mac or have a slow 'net connection. The simple solution is to turn the fraudulent web site checking off. In Safari, it's a checkbox in the Security preferences. The vulnerability here is that you then won't see the pretty warning from your browser when you visit a *known* phishing or other malware web site. Not too worrisome, IMO, since there isn't any real malware [*] out there for OS X and most Mac users are smart enough to know the difference between mybank.com and mybank.cn. MacWorld has a nice article about Google Safe Browsing in Safari, that explains why its there and how it works. http://www.macworld.com/article/137094/2008/11/safari_safe_browsing.html [*] I'm not including the recent trojans, on the pirate torrents. I figure if you're dumb enough to pirate software, dumb enough to download it from suspicious sites, *and* dumb enough to give it your admin password, well FWIW, - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Wireless Router Information
Greetings ( + )!( + ) I have acquired one of the new Aluminum Macbook's 13.3 and would like to turn-on the wireless features of my router. The problem is that I haven't been able to find any plain, comprehensive instructions. Something that covers all, or almost all of the wireless router lingo. I have a very simple (minimal features) Airlink 101 and the booklet that came with it covers no more that just turning it on and hooking it up, and of course it is written towards the WINTEL PC. The Airlink WEB page is also useless. So if anyone can recommend something that I can read I'd really appreciate the help.

I need your guidance on how to do this I've long been anti-HTML email. Specifically for the reasons stated by Dan: it will likely look like garbage on many email clients. (most of the html email I receive on Eudora, for instance, comes in disjointed image slices. It's near impossible to set the window to exactly the right width to view it as intended. I also roll my virtual eyes whenever I get an email with a background pattern which is reduced on my system to a little patch of color off in some corner. ) PDFs have a downside as well: They're often Really Big Files. Sometimes that's a matter of operator error - I just discovered that one of our clients' PDF newsletters was huge because the person who did the layup was including enormous versions of most images - even when only a small clip of it was displayed - and various other bloat techniques. But PDFs are by their nature larger than plain text with images Now imagine the server bogging down as it sends 2000 times that file size. Ouch. We recently convinced the above client to switch from their PDF newsletter to putting the news on their website in a blog-style page, with a short, text only email with short announcements and/or teasers and links to the site. The advantages are: 1) the members don't get huge periodic emails that they may or may not read 2) it drives relevant traffic to the website, which is typically a goal of most website owners 3) Fresh website content makes search engines happy, another important goal of a website. The disadvantages are: 1) it's an extra step for the members to remember to go to the website to read it periodically. (personally, I *prefer* to get most of my news via text email, and have been known to stop following certain news sources when they went all web.

I'm finding WebKit nightly to be a bit faster tho. - Dan. I think it depends on which G4 you are using. On my eMac 700, Firefox and Camino is pretty slow. On my QS 933 it will run much better. But my preference still is Webkit. I wished Google would release Chrome for PPC but that will be a dream forever.

It came up in Finder and each time I clicked on it, it disappeared again. I'm going to resort to having my PC friend use the Easy Find Application on his computer to set up sharing, and hope I don't have to install Windows to maintain the drive. It's a nice enclosure, quiet as a mouse, with pretty blue lights so I'm willing to live with a little formatting problem ;-) I'm willing to bet your friend will have problems, too, because I think it's defective. Return it for a replacement. The PC was able to mount the NAS without any problem (once my neighbour mapped to the right drives) but I still had a problem here. Slept on it for a while, and then my eye caught that Finder's Command-k assumes afp:// -- Duh! Once I changed that to smb:// I can connect without any problem. /me idiot.
