Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

All is well that ends in pizza.

It's a Flowpoint 2210.

No worky, sorry.

BTW, thanks anyway, Tommyrot.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Mac question. We just got a new G5, running OS X 10.3.8. When I tried to install PageMaker 6.5, I got the following message:

No Classic system folder

You do not have a version of Mac OS 9 installed that supports Classic. Install Mac OS 9.1 or later.

WTF? Our old G4 came with OS X installed, and it ran Classic apps right out of the box. Do I have to install OS 9 on top of OS X? And if so, where do I get OS 9?

Ah, nebbermind. I found it.

Stoopid hiding it on the Additional Software disk.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The latest version of InDesign has a PageMaker compatability mode, if you want to, you know, upgrade to 1990s software technology.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Does anyone have Hotmail, AND within Hotmail you've set up custom folders? (Like, one for work, one for family, one for mailing lists.)

If yes to both of those -- did all the messages in your custom folders disappear???

No, I don't. I like PageMaker, and it works fine in Classic mode. Why should I fucking buy a new program just for a few extra bells and whistles? It's bad enough I have to deal with an ad agency that only uses Quark.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It's funny because it's true.

Ouch. I swear that if I get my lost e-mails back, I'll save them to my hard drive....and then switch to gmail as my primary account.

So, lovely tech-heads, where should I go for decent web hosting for my little fic site? Angelfire is turning off my fanbase with its pop-ups.

And could that sentence sound any more arrogant?

I have a domain name for the site already.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Connie, I've been happy with Host For Web. They're fairly reasonable, and have been up on a steady basis for most of the time I've been with them. (Outages that I'm aware of have all been of the planned variety.)
