Good to know. So since I have 4 Yahoo accounts, and 1 Google account, what would be a good email service to move over to from Yahoo? One that won't have problems.
Thanks,
Carol
I mostly use Safari to read and write my Yahoo email on my Mac Pro and laptops. Safari often has problems loading attachments. When that happens I go to Firefox and use its email capabilities, which work fine when Safari fails. I suspect this has something to do with Yahoo mail. Yahoo's email service has been flaky for at least a year. Sometimes it works fine, other times there are problems, no matter how you connect. Sometimes you cannot delete unwanted emails, sometimes it runs VERY slow, sometimes deleted emails pop up in the Inbox after being deleted. Yahoo's problems seem especially noticeable on Fridays and weekends. And whenever Yahoo changes its "look", as they like to do too often, email service suffers. So for me, I see both browser problems with Safari, and more fundamental problems with Yahoo mail. Firefox seems to work just fine - I like it better then IE, and better than Safari.

None.
No mail system "won't have problems"

I'm afraid that I have no idea how you got that.

The fix that I suggested seems to work for about 95% of the folks having the password problem.
For everything else, I've usually found that it is necessary to contact your ISP and get all of the latest settings for your e-mail program. (And *YES* they are likely to need to be adjusted even if you have never changed anything.)

Why are you getting a G3 Mac?
I hope it's free.
You can get an Intel iMac with flat screen and keyboard, complete, for around $300.

Howdy.
Depends on which Mac G3 model you get.
Some G3 models may have had a VGA port but it depends.
There are VGA to Apple video adapter plugs available still for vintage
G3s but you may have to do some serious internet fishing to find one.
I have one or two in a box somewhere.
Why on earth are you getting a G3? Want to take it apart to see what's
inside?
A G3 is about 5 generations out of date and can not run any current
software or system software.

I was expecting some of the changes in a new MacPro tower but the form
factor just blows me away.
<http://www.apple.com/mac-pro/?cid=wwa-us-kwg-mac-aos )
Do the little video tour at the Apple site.
==Expected:
That a new MacPro would have to have a "card cage," aka a card
expansion chassis.
Expected the new Intel Xeon E5 processor.
Expected Thunderbolt 2 ports.
External optical drive required.
==Didn't expect:
Round 9 inch tower shape.
One fan.
Major shift to flash drive system.
- - - - -
Release date was "Coming later this year." Do any of the Apple
sleuths at MacSupportCentral have an idea of when later this year?

Yes--I was struck by that too. 9.9 inches tall and 6.6 inches in diameter is incredibly small for this amount of computing power.
In an earlier thread ("Petabytes to measure data"), Jim Saklad said, "The new Mac Pro announced today can do 7 TeraFLOPs. Which is about the speed of the best supercomputer of 2000."
Anyone know what the form factor for such a supercomputer was? Is there a photo anywhere?

Great…..
Now my husband has seen this and is saying that he's in dire need of an update! :)
I wonder when we'll know more about pricing.

Howdy.
At some point around 2002 or 2003, Virginia Tech University in
Blacksburg, Virginia, on its own, put together a super computing
cluster that became for 6 or 8 months the 3rd fastest super computer in
the world.
It was done with, IIRC, 1,100 dual core Macs (2,200 processors), and
Apple's fiber connection system.
This super computing cluster generated so much positive publicity for
Apple that the company stepped in and helped Virginia Tech convert it
to a rack mounted Mac OS X server (blade style) system.
I'm not sure how to compare speeds but here's an article on it which
someone could use to track down some more info.

OF COURSE he's in dire need of an update. Me, too!
It's all explained by the T-Shirt I recently couldn't resist buying at
my nearby Micro Center store.
T-Shirt says in big letters . . . .
MY PROCESSOR IS FASTER THAN YOURS
Yeaaaaaa!

p.s. Be happy he doesn't want a new French hand made Bugatti :-)

An ATT tech spent 5+ hours here today trying to resolve the problem - first checking in the house, then outside. It's not my issue - somewhere in the neighborhood there's a bad splice job or something. The supervisor will be here tomorrow and give it a try. The guy today is NOT inexperienced (35 years with ATT) but he just came to an end of his knowledge or ability to see the problem (like when you look in the refrigerator for the ketchup and can't find it but someone else spots it right in front of your nose).
For now I've got the mifi and a G3 iPad so I'm not stranded by any means.
Thank you all,
Bekah

Hello
Just acquired a 1.5 terabyte drive (Lacie D2 Network). It's a gigabit
and/or USB2... planning to hook it up as my Time Machine for my tower.
The big question here is whether PRACTICALLY I should connect it via
USB (it has its own power block) or via Ethernet. I run cat 5e cabling
and have a gigabit switch. Looking up theoretical speeds online suggests
that ethernet should be considerably faster, BUT the NAS network CPU
(and software to make this drive accessible on the network) within the
drive itself may not be as fast.
Secondly, anyone comment on whether an on-going Time machine backup is
better/efficient or worse than a regularly scheduled (bootable) clone
through SuperDuper or CarbonCopyCloner?
So does anyone have any experience with these they'd care to share? Your
thoughts are appreciated....
