Anne, if you don't have the print option, you could e-mail me the files, and I could convert them for you.
Buffistechnology 2: You Made Her So She Growls?
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!
Anne, the Print window should let you save as PDF.
In the Print window, there should be a pull-down menu next to "Printer:" and if you pull the menu down, one of the options should be "Create Adobe PDF."
Thanks, everyone! PDFs have been achieved.
iBook/PowerBook people: battery recall [link]
Could somebody who has a clean-installed or archive-and-installed (rather than standard upgraded) Tiger check the folder /System/Library/LaunchDaemons and tell me if the have something that contains the word 'apache' or 'httpd'? I'm thinking I should have something there, maybe, but I don't.
I did a clean install, and there's nothing there.
My experience from doing 15 years of this stuff is that upgrades should be avoided. A&I or a clean install are always to be preferred.
I did a clean install, too. Upgrades still use the old method of starting processes, which is why I wondered.
So, I got that email about the battery--I have to pull the battery out of my computer ot find out if it's one of the affected ones?? That sounds...dangerous. And will being without a battery while I look at it do anything to the 'puter?
That sounds...dangerous.
Not at all. Batteries are removable in laptops. I think you get the replacement before you send yours back, though.
And will being without a battery while I look at it do anything to the 'puter?
Nah. If the computer is off, it won't do a thing at all; if it's plugged in at the time and the computer is on because you're doing it at work in a state of semi-freakout about omg my precious is going to burst into flames while in the middle of doing something (NOT THAT I KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT), it will (PURELY THEORETICALLY, AS I DID NOT DO SUCH A THING MYSELF) probably be just fine too.
(It's the big screw that you can open with a coin, with the lock/unlock icons on it, and it'll pop right off. The serial number is right on the top of the battery.)
