Ha! Screen savers. I remember After Dark; it was one
of the most
reliable ways to make your Mac unreliable.
Interesting. Perhaps with external modules? Nowadays, I like Starry
Night best and can't find any problems with AD on different machines.
But yes, I remember that certain combinations of extensions including
AD would make my box crash more often. Can't remember which box or
which combinations, though.
If I had the desk space to run my 7300 as an everyday
machine (and
were willing to put up with the whine of its absurdly loud Barracuda
next to me all day), I think I'd demote it from the 9.1 I'd upgraded
to by the time
I recommend using an IBM DCAS 34330. They're usually *very* quiet and
you've plenty of space available. (Second, I equipped the power supply
with a temperature regulated fan. The "G3"-Card stays cooler than the
original 601-card, so the fan mostly works on minimum speed. I'm
hearing my G5 louder than this 7500.)
I'm almost
of a mind to build a bridge of my own with a small Ethernet-
capable micro and an external 8530
I'm utilizing a STARLAN Box for that. Hangs after a few weeks and
needs a reset, then.
for example, I can't browse my Windows
machines' SMB shares if I
give them static IPs for some reason
This is strange. I learned, that everything will be fine with browsing
when all machines register themselves on one WINS-Server. Without, the
browsing list changes with every refresh, especially in big company
networks. Perhaps, DHCP sends an "your-wins-server-is"-option and you
miss to configure that manually?
