Re: Smurf
Smurfs didn't have that functionality as far as I recall.

Re: Smurf
The smurfs (pitufos in Spanish) were very popular in the early 1980s Spain. When the PowerMac G3 BW appeared, it was quickly nicknamed pitufo as both were blue and white. The original iMac G3 was popularly known as cabezon (Big headed), while the fancy iMac G4 was known as Lamparita (desk lamp). Until the late 1990s Macs were a real rarity around here. The iMac G3 was the first popular model and raised brand awareness quite a bit. Gorka from Spain -- GRATIS für alle GMX-Mitglieder: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT!

This is a good example of what we need to make sure we are teaching the next generation of students, how to search, combine ideas and what to look for. Yes, I know the answer off the top of my head, but you may not know the cultural reference implied. The first search for: mac names smurf Came up blank on the first page. then Mac model names smurf got close, with a link to a Lowendmac.com page about the B W with a nickname listed of Smurf. Then I realized that smurf is not an official, or even developmental name of the machine, but one given to it by users. So I then googled mac model nicknames smurf and got a little closer, but still no win. Now, however, if you do an image search for smurf, knowing the bare history of apple computers will hopefully help you put the two concepts together. That search for smurf images will show you that they are blue skinned and most are shown wearing white clothes. That is how the Blue and white G3s got the nickname. But it does take a bit of outside of the box thinking that is very valuable to learn when almost all the information known to humankind is available with just a few keystrokes.

Re: Smurf won't let me install Tiger updates
I'll check the Network preference pane. Later today, when I get back there. I agree about re-installing the Realtek client software. Of course, if it doesn't run under Tiger, I guess I'm in deeper doo-doo than I figured...but let's cross that doo-doo bridge when we come to it. Did you open System PreferenceNetwork to be sure the Realtek wireless port has been detected? You may need to reinstall the Realtek software, and also if the connection requires a wireless utility you may need to launch the utility manually if it's not automatically launching. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ 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.
