SyJet Problems 412 Views / 0 Replies  
For some several years, ever since my fairly new SyJet gave up the ghost, I’ve been trying to recover some data from old SyJet cartridges. I’ve ordered several - maybe half a dozen - from eBay, and...

Gosh, am I the only one here having problems with their SyJet. Guess I just got a lemon.

Seriously, I think the old EZ135 was head and shoulders above the Zip Drive, but the bad drives out the...

Final update, for anyone still interested in this problem:

Well, it's the better part of a week, and everything's still working, with the exception of Safari. Looks like bad fonts, indeed, were...

Calli Wins; Corrupt Fonts Indicated 2,306 Views / 26 Replies  
Once again, thanks to all for your helpful advice. As always, I've learned a great deal here at MacNN. But it appears to be Calli who has somehow divined the source of my misery; bad fonts. I'm not...

Thanks, Calli, et al. (My fondly remembered great grandmother's name was Callie, which I always thought was a pretty cool name. Of course, for all I know it might also be a man's name, so, if you...

Thanks for the very kind offer. No, unfortunately I'm nowhere near SF; I'm in the hills of Tennessee, actually, but I appreciate the thought very much.

I've been without my computer and, thus,...

Well, not amazed, perhaps, but non-plussed certainly. There is such a dropdown under the "Terminal" menu heading in my version, but the closest thing to Bigger, under the sub-menu "Window," is...

Thanks, Groovy! (Did you know that the term "groovy" goes all the way back at least to the 30's? I discovered it in an old Bertie and Jeeves story.)

Unfortunately, the only "Bigger" command in any...

P.S. Crash Report Text 2,306 Views / 26 Replies  
I thought it might be useful to someone far brighter than myself if I include part of the crash report. I know text is virtually weightless, but to avoid a lengthy scroll I'll only paste in the first...

Thanks, all. Did DiskWarrior; haven't tried Permissions Repair yet. My local guru also suspected memory, so I guess that's the way to bet. Darn it; I was hoping tosave up for a newer Mac instead of...

Apps Dropping Like Flies 2,306 Views / 26 Replies  
Well, I resisted changing over to OS X for a good year or better, and when I finally made the move, ti was TRUE: OS X almost never crashes. However, that advantaged has been largely negated lately by...

Cannot run Classic AT ALL in Panther 941 Views / 7 Replies  
I, also, cannot run Classic, a major nuisance since very little of my software is OS X native, and none of my work can get done. I never use Quark. I'm getting the following dialogue: "There is a...
