I hadn't given any serious thought to trying XPostFacto yet, so that's good to know.

Hey. New board.
You could try Camino, Sean. It uses Firefox's engine and is a full Mac app, so if you've got the tab-to-post-message working in Safari, it'll probably work in Camino too (it does for me).
I like Camino a lot. Looks lik a Mac app, works like Firefox on rendering.

I need to fire up my Macintosh Color Classic and I can't quite seem to find the power cord.
I have a power cord for a DVD recorder, can I use that power cord?

Any computer-style power cord will work.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
We have a new to us reciever. Harmon Kardon AV 210. Lot of inputs.
cd - tape they are fun . we are haveing some really funky stuff with video. sound is randomly going up down - sounds sort fuzzy -
the cable/tivo/tv link is fine without the stero - we have tried 2 different video channels with the same results. Any ideas?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Are there cables out there that allow you to run two computers to the same monitor? What about two computers to the same printer?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Two computers to the same printer, it's probably a situation of creating a tiny tiny network.
Two computers to the same monitor should be no different from hooking up both satellite and cable to the same TV -- a 'joint' with a switch that lets you choose which input you want at any given time. For coax cable, it's called a signal switch; I've never seen one for a computer monitor, but I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't exist.
Although this raises the question of why not simply work both computers together through a parallel port, and if the answer is "because parallel ports are the White Whale of home computing," then I am in agreeance with that.

Pretty much, yeah. It's sort of "what can my mother accomplish on her own." I suggested the network thing -- I need to find out if both computers have Ethernet cards. Surely they must.
