Here it is!
Version 1.0.

IE Cache Trasher deletes a file called "download cache" which can get quite big
if you do not watch it. This file stores incomplete and complete downloads (the
latter only if you set IE to remember your last completed downloads). It can
grow to enormous proportions; mine was 119 MB the first time I checked!

Subject: [*] KillTemporaryItems 2.0


According to http://til.info.apple.com/techinfo.nsf/artnum/n25134/ of
3/17/00, Mac OS 9 degrades file system performance by refusing to move
orphaned items in your invisible "Temporary Items" folder to the trash.
The AppleScript "fix" provided in the technote doesn't work straight out
of the box (what else is new?), so here's KillTemporaryItems 2.0.  It
moves non-busy items in "Temporary Items" to a folder on your desktop
called "Stuff OS 9 left lying around", then quits.  Disposition of the
files recovered is up to you.  CodeWarrior Pro 4 source is included,
support is not.  Freeware.

Release notes:

18 March 2000 - version 1.0b2, original release

29 December 2000 - version 2.0, fixes a potentially serious lockup
    when the move routine encounters cache.lck

Subject: [Q] Questions About Internal Connectors

Folks,
 
A few questions for the assembled wisdom:
 
I am moving to a G4 400 mhz PCI machine from a PPC 6500/275.  I have noticed
the following when it comes to transferring info:
 
I can plug my old hard drive into the connector where the DVD-ROM drive
lives and it will run fine (it transferred about 4 GB in 30 or so seconds!).
But when I plug the drive into the connector and stack it over the internal
10 GB drive it doesn't do diddley.
 
Why is this?  Do I need a new termination formula?  Do I need to move the
jumpers on the old drive to do this?  Is the connector for a different
format (IDE, SCSI, ...)?  Whaz up?
 
I would like to migrate the internal Zip from the old machine into the drive
bay on the G4.  Unfortunately, the connectors are really different.  Is this
just an adapter cable of some sort, or is there a card controller needed?
 
Same with the floppy-is this a controller issue?
 
I can live without the floppy but I'd really like to move the Zip drive.
 
Any good advices to this probably obvious question gratefully appreciated,

Subject: [Q] Satellite TCP service?

My folks live out in the proverbial boondocks where DSL and cable 
internet services are not an option.  I remember glancing at an 
article that mentioned satellite-based TCP/IP connectivity as the 
ideal solution for such rural locations, but I didn't jot down the 
ISPs described in the article, nor do I recall if any of them 
supported the Mac.  (My folks are yet in the Mac fold).  Anyone have 
relevant experience, and/or know of any satellite-based Mac-friendly 
ISPs that would be likely to offer services in the north Georgia area?

I have a Word 98 template if you're interested.  I use the mail merge
feature to create the labels for printing.  Each text block is
positioned via Word's Frame capabilities; I think I recall that in page
view you can drag the positions to change them, e.g., for different
brands of labels which place the printable area differently.  Hope this

I have resolved to use my computer to better control my finances in

All I really need to do is balance my checkbook and allocate my 
expenses.  No "financial planning" or stocks and bonds stuff or 
online banking.  Just plain old green eyeshade bookkeeping with the 
credits toward the window and the debits toward the door (or is it 
the other way around?).

Any shareware (or better commercial software) suggestions, please?

If you're making an OS 9 or later boot disk, remember that the freshly
installed system MUST be booted once before you burn it, because the
installer leaves some Installer Temp inits lying around, and these will
auto-delete only after running the system once.  Since you can't delete
them from the CD, you need to install the system on some bootable
volume and boot from it before copying it to CD.  Hope this helps.

I tried every utility known to Macdom and wasn't able to resurrect my
drive, or even figure out what the problem was (it would mount with
another startup disk, but it was difficult and inconsistent in starting
up from either CD's or external drives).

Finally, I used ResEdit to verify the system file, and it said the
above resource was damaged.  I tried to repair it, but ResEdit said it
was damaged beyond repair, so it created a new copy without it.  No
dice.  So, I replaced the System file and voil€!

The new system didn't have such a resource.  Can anyone tell me what
that resource was?!  What have I lost?  Thanks!  Cheers,
