Erik,
Secondhand hard disks of any type are always a risk. I have recently bought a
9.1GB SEAGATE Barracuda SCSI hard disk from Other World Computing
http://www.owcomputing.com for $US70. Freight came to $US38. No customs payable
when they delivered four days later so total cost about $A220. I
Hello all.
having had a couple of advices from our ISP this week regarding viruses
being intercepted in our email, I had been wondering the situation regarding
Macs and viruses?
My iMac for Dummies suggests us to be almost completely immune, with
suggestion of a simple adjustment to protect from

I can't imagine the design of an all in one unit with a flat screen.
Maybe a Cube?

Hi folks,
Did anyone see the story a couple of days ago from News.com which stated
that Apple recently placed an order for 150,000 Flat Screen Displays,
fuelling speculation about a
Hi
I am trying to upgrade Nathalie's BW G3 with a second slave drive (Western
Digital 30GB, 5400rpm). She currently has a 6GB master drive (Maxtor).
Despite all efforts I cannot get the machine to recognise either drive when
both are hooked into the IDE cable. However when the 30GB hard drive is
I think I remember that it was mentioned somewhere that first generation
BWs had a problem seeing 2 drives.
Hit the Apple knowledge DB for sure.
Cheers, Paul

Virex and Norton Anti Virus are the mac virus utilities of choice.
However, I find these utilities often slow everything to a crawl (waiting
for a Jaz disk to be scanned etc, ditto CDs) so I usually turn them off
after a while, and scan my HDs monthly, or when I see a new virus on the
warpath.

If both drives have same number then the computer doesn't know which
one to boot, so it doesn't boot, in my belief. That knowledge is
gained from putting 2x IGB 'Phil McGree' SCSI drives in a 7220 here
recently. Eventually my son's girlfriend's father (a Fujitsu Systems
Engineer) told

I've been using Macs (a lot) for over ten years, I've dragged my Mac

Firstly, the BWs used the IDE interface for the hard drives, not SCSI -
IDE busses can only ever have two drives, a master and a slave. Compared
to SCSI, it is a terribly nonscalable interface that was born in the
overly price-competitive Wintel market to cut costs. I suppose IDE does

It would have been nice to have received the same offer from Apple
after any one of my 2 recent experiences. I must say that Sue sent me

Thanks for your reply Brian,
I forgot to mention that when I installed Eudora for OSX a couple of
weeks ago ( just for a look ... I didn't keep it ... too messy looking)
the same thing happened with that; emails without graphics !!
So it is obviously not a problem common to OSX Mail.

Very well put Reg. Have we all become 'worthless' yet devoted slaves?
