I can't eject a DVD on my Mac

Had a call this morning from a Mac user that uses a non Mac keyboard. She could not eject her DVD on her old eMac. The same situation could be true on a Mac Laptop. The simple answer is .......... drum roll please. "Rat-a-tat-tat Rat-a-tat-tat...... Hit the F12 Key.

Done like dinner.

OpenOffice on a G4 Mac

We had a Mac in today that the customer wanted OpenOffice installed on. After downloading OpenOffice for PPC and not Intel, I went to install it and found out that I needed X11 for Mac installed and that I would need the Operating System Disks.

That was a lie. I googled X11 for Mac download and found it right away from the Mac website. After that was installed it was smooth Sailings.
