Hello, The one thing I like about KDE is the terminal with the little tabs on the bottom. One piece of screen, multiple terminals on it. I do a lot of terminal things, and it is a screensaver for me to have them all in one window. Christian

Hello, I am not the resident virus expert for Windows here, but can tell that you will need to let the group know if Shredder gave you any specific warning messages. Those are handy for the fine folk here who help debug these things. Also, this is a great time …

Hello, HERE HERE to lynx! I enjoy using that browser when on dialup, along with pine, to read my email. QUick and texty. I am also glad that Dani minimizes the DaniCrap on DaniWeb, so that you can use an older browser to work things here. Christian

Hi, He is exactly right, although I thought expander came with OS X. Perhaps you need a more recent copy of it. Christian

Hello, Are you using Mac OS X, or Mac OS 9? I am assuming that this is connected via USB. I also wonder if you installed the software that came with the unit (you don't mention it). Let us know. Christian

Hello, What may be amazing is that Dani just celebrated her 22nd Birthday, placing her birthday at Nov 11, 82. The last person to walk on the moon did so in 1973. Who would think that walking on the moon and exploring another world in the flesh would be a …

Hello, I assume you are upgrading from Mac OS 9 to OS X. Before you do that, i would suggest a paper printout just in case something goes foul. I have not done the Mac Outlook Express conversion. I am a dutiful Eudora fan, and that upgraded flawlessly. For IE …

Hello, These days, computer manufacturers are bundling 3rd party software with systems, such as antivirus utilities and financial packages, in addition to the operating system. Thus, the manufacturers supply Windows on these restore disks that will restore the computer to factory conditions. Unfortunately, for advanced installations, you are powerless to …

Hello, I am sure you are referring to the Windoze utilities that IBM bundles with their computers... although Dell and Compaq and others do the same things. You should be able to find what you need off of IBM's website. I'm also going to move this topic to the 2000/XP …
