Hi guys, I just decided to use Netscape 6.2 for Mac, and I've been able to set it up mostly the way I want. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get the newsreader to allow me to post. It keeps giving me the message about "Please see news/post/setup" I've (...) (23 years ago, 8-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

The way I show my gratitude when I receive informational help from people is by shamelessly exploiting their knowledge again, so here goes: If I know the lengths of two chords of a circle, both of which are smaller than the diameter and which are (...)

Fixed it - fan had stopped working and it was an alarm on the mainboard. That also explains why it was hot to touch after just 30 minutes :( Dan (23 years ago, 5-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

I have a laptop that starts making a continuous tone when it's turned on. I have tried removing all PCMCIA cards and it doesn't help. Sometimes the tone has little variations in it - sounds a bit like a modem, but there's no modem built-in to the (...) (23 years ago, 5-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

Just like the look of these, thought I'd share the story!

Can someone (probably Dan Boger, since he always comes to my rescue on computer questions!) tell me how to print a directory listing?
