Networking Your Mac
Question:
I have an old iMac G3 and would like to hook it up wirelessly to my DSL, can I use a USB or ethernet bridge? if so which one?
Answer:
You would need a wi-fi adapter for each mac that you want to connect to your wireless. Here is an example of the type of adapter you will need.

You will also need a wi-fi router to connect to your DSL modem. I usually use Linksys but since you are using a mac you might want to use this one.
http://www.tekserve.com/store/417/Wireless_Routers/11640
Any Mac store should have these items so you don't have to order them thru Tekserve. Just make sure if you go to BestBuy or some other vendor that doesn't do exclusively Mac hardware that what they are trying to sell you says that it is Mac Compatible.

Logitech Mouse
Your question:
I have a Logitech optic mouse I lost the install CD where would you find the install program its a M-BJ58 model Logitech web site does not even list that one its about a 2000 model ?
My answer:
You should be able to plug that puppy in and have it work without any additional drivers (most of the time the drivers just slow down your system anyway). I only see that they don't support the model anymore on the site. There is one document that refers to your model but it only says it supports both USB and PS/2 connection types (big help). If there are any custom buttons try looking at the mouse settings once you plug it in. Sometimes they adjust based on the mouse you plug into the system.

DVD Copying
Question
How do I copy a DVD? I need to copy one before I return it to the library today.
Thanks,
Carol
Answer
It's probably too late for today but you can use any DVD burning software they also
usually have a copy function (unless the DVD is copy protected). In that case I use
another set of programs to rip the movie and burn it as a DVD movie of my own
creation. I use this product for DVD copying...DVD Copy
I use this product to rip DVDs that are copy protected (if you look up DVD ripper on
Google you can find other free rippers also)...http://www.topviewsoft.com/Ultimate-DVD-Ripper.html
I use Microsoft MovieMaker (it came free on most XP PCs) to edit videos if I want to
trim them or edit the length and save as different video qualities. Also Roxio,
Sonic and Nero have ways to edit and burn DVDs.
