Starting with MacsBug loaded and Extensions off An Apple Q&A document asks: "How can I have MacsBug loaded at startup while leaving System Extensions disabled?" The answer is: "If MacsBug is present in the System Folder at system startup time, and the Option and Shift keys are held down together, then MacsBug will be loaded even though system extensions will be turned off." Macally iKey and Kensington mouse lead to odd Quake symptom? Keith Russo describes an unusual symptom on his G3/BW Mac with a Macally iKey keyboard and a Kensington Mouse: "While playing Quake 3 Arena v1.17 (and only with Quake) the mouse will stop working. I have found that the mouse will stop working the same number of minutes as set in the Energy Saver Control Panel the system is set to sleep. If Energy Saver Control Panel to "Never" the mouse will continue to work." Reporting of "slow RAM": TattleTech will still do so Regarding our report last time of reports of "slow RAM" by Apple System Profiler: Although Apple says that future versions of ASP will no longer indicate this RAM specification, Frederick Stratton points out that TattleTech does so and indicates "real-world performance" differences. Toast link not working The link to the Toast 4.0.2 Deluxe Update (posted on this page and mentioned last time on MacFixIt) leads to a "no such file" error.
