Re: Randy's Airport Question

What bootz said is usually true. I have used an AEBS in a two story house covering two floors, the pool area, and a guest house next to the pool. They work really well. The main determinate is how much of an open area there is between the rooms you need the coverage and each floor.

The good thing about the AEBS is that you can connect two together to increase your range. If one won't cover your whole house, you could purchase two and put them in range to each other to increase the overall coverage.

Hope this all helps!

It's a Lexmark. (:

I wish I could tell you exactly why, but the Lexmark printers can be pretty quirky. The other thing you can try is unplugging it completely for about an hour, then turning it back on to see if the memory in it gets reset.

Reinstalling the drivers from the web site again should clean up any software issues where the computer thinks you need a new cartridge or that you just inserted a new one.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

Linda's printer:

Try the following:
1. Unplug the printer from the USB port.
2. Re-download the latest drivers from Lexmark's web site:

3. Install the drivers, then restart the computer.
4. Once the computer has restarted, plug the printer back into the USB port.

Let us know if that helps at all!

Hint 2003/12/08: Keyboard Shortcuts

Okay, so you want to be able to do some things a little more quickly. Here's a quick hint to help you. Go up to a menu in any program. I'm in Safari right now, and I am going to use the Edit menu as an example.

Under Edit, I have choices like Copy, Paste, Select All, and Find. Now, to the right of each of these choices are some characters. These characters are there to tell you what keys on the keyboard equal that choice. For instance, to the right of "Select All" is the propeller and the letter A. The propeller represents the Command key, previously known as the Apple key, on your keyboard. So, if you were to hold down the command key and the letter A on the keyboard, you would then Select All in the window you're looking at. Give it a try!

So, now you've got the basic idea of using the keyboard shortcuts. You can look in any menu to find out what keyboard shortcuts will work in that program. However, you may run into some special characters that represent keys like the Option, Control, and Shift keys. For a quick reference for what each symbol means, check out the following web page:

Good luck, and don't be afraid to experiment!

Hey Bootz!

You shouldn't run into any issues on the upgrade. As always, though, she should make a backup of her home directory and other important files she's created before installing the update.

We hope it goes well!

Welcome everyone to the My MacGuys message board! Our goal here is to help people with some questions about Macintosh computers, including keeping them working, repairing problems, and answering questions about why you should choose to have one in your house.

So please feel free to ask those questions, and we look forward to hearing from you!


Neil and dpb5

Let's call it "My MacGuys". It looks like you can put a description, so maybe some info on the company and that the board will offer tips for keeping your Mac working well and/or repair tips.

Neil

I'm not allowed to do that either! I guess I'm not allowed to do much if I'm not premier...

Neil

Yay, I can post now! Okay, so can I now create my board?
