You have to nail the photon torpedo to the airlock of their ship.
Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

Nowadays Martin Luther would probably use a staple gun. OTOH? I think the airlock might need a nail gun. Penetration is better with explosive propulsion.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Bring your old power supply with.
Way ahead of you.
CompUSA not only had an Antek, it was on sale and also had a rebate. Good thing it was cheap, because it didn't help. The MB is getting power, but nothing happens other than the post counter showing "00" and not incrementing. I fear the processor, she is fried.
I've been considering getting a new machine, so this will not doubt speed up that process.

Okay, tech heads. I have been generously gifted with a beige Power Mac G3, running OSX (amych, the USB hub is still needed).
Now, I downloaded Firefox, and what I got was a disk image. To install it properly on my hard drive, I just drag the program over from the mounted disk image and drop it into my applications folder, yes?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I belong....

It's weird, but I didn't really like Macs until a few years ago - I just wasn't impressed by the OS. But once OS X had been around a bit and was stable, I was like, "Unix operating system with a better GUI than Linux, plus beautiful hardware - cool!"

Is there a setting on Macs to sharpen screen fonts, for use with an LCD screen, much like mine? (I'd found and implemented the same setting on my PC)

Yes.
Um... let me try to find it....
eta: Go to System Preferences / Appearance. At the bottom there's a thing on "font smoothing."
