Re: anyone drive a nissan versa? - 10 years ago

I bought my daughter a new 2010 Versa Hatchback last December. She is away at college (300 miles). She was in for Thanksgiving, Has 12,000 miles on the car. Hasn't had any problems. Says that she just loves the car. I was impressed by the amount of headroom when I bought the car. I am 6'5" and I had plenty of headroom even in the rear seats. Norm

What happened to my Date and Time? - 10 years ago

Seem to have lost my Date and Time from my system preferences on my 1.67/G4 Notebook running 10.5.8. Any ideas where it went or how I get it back? I have the 10.5.1 install disk. Would I have to do a clean install and then update to 10.5.8? Thanks, Norm

Re: 10.4.11 back to 10.4.9? - 11 years ago

I just tried the 10.9 updater. It would not install. Also the CPU Director for the PowerLogix Processor is incompatible on 10.4.10 and up. This program allows you to set the Processor speed up to 1.1Ghz. I am not sure about the L2 cache but I think it is mostly about the loss of processor speed. Norm

10.4.11 back to 10.4.9? - 11 years ago

I have a B&W with a PowerLogix 1.1Ghz G3 processor upgrade. I purchased the computer used a couple of years ago. It came With 10.4 Tiger installed. (no install disks) I discovered yesterday that the Processor upgrade is only supported to 10.4.9. I was not aware of this when I upgraded to 10.4.11. Is there a way to go back to 10.4.9 without the Install Disks? I have 10.3 and 10.5 disks.

QuoteOmbligo Most illegals do pay taxes out of their paychecks, including social security that they will never be able to collect. While I do agree that people should be legally, it isn't true that they don't pay taxes. The only way that Illegals are paying Payroll Taxes are that they are using another Americans S/Security number. So, are you saying that most illegals are also illegally s

Re: install 10.5.1 on 12" Powerbook G4 /133mgz - 12 years ago

QuoteNorm QuoteSilencio Can you hold down the "C" key while booting to force the machine to boot from the DVD? My own 12" PowerBook G4 / 1.33GHz ran Leopard just fine. However, the combo drive in that machine had a tough time reading many dual layer discs. I think I ended up having to boot from an external optical drive connected over Firewire in order to get Leopard installed.

Re: install 10.5.1 on 12" Powerbook G4 /133mgz - 12 years ago

Quotemstudio If your Leopard disk is a full install disk it should work. If it is an upgrade disk, you may need Tiger first. If a full install, try inserting and going to your Sys prefs and change the Startup Disk to the Leopard disk. Hope this helps. Yes it has DVD player. It spins up the disk, just will not boot on it. Yes, it is a full retail disk. I have used it before on another G4 ma

Audio question? - 12 years ago

I just recently purchased a 5 speaker/wulfer surround sound system for a PC. In the past, I have found the PC speakers to work on the Macs via the single pin sound outlet. However this system has 3 seperate Jacks. (front,rear,wulfer) My question is. Is there a single jack to three jack adapter to allow this to work on a 1.25 Emac? Thanks, Norm
