You're welcome!

On this note, I'm looking for an older G4 system to run OSX 10.3 and 10.4
on (dual-boot) so that I can use it to reproduce and troubleshoot problems
that people send into machelp.org (I answer 10-15 questions/day lately).

If anybody has an older system they'd like to donate, let me know.
Barebones is fine as long as it has video - I can dig up CDROM/HD/RAM.

Registered it when I first "got into" Macs and OS X, as soon as I found out
it was available.  I'm the third result for a Google search of "mac help".
8-)

I've only started really doing anything with it in the past couple of
years.  Last April I put up a "Have problems with your computer?  Email
questions@... and I'll try to help" blurb.  Since then I've
received more than 1500 emails of people asking for help; usually minor
problems that are solved by spending 30 seconds on Google.

I mostly do it just to help people.  I use this .sig file when I'm able to
provide a response to someone's question or problem:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 If my advice has been helpful, please consider purchasing an item on my
 Amazon Wish List located at http://wishlist.machelp.org.  MacHELP does
 not make any income - I run the site as a hobby and answer between 5-15
 emails a day from people who need help with their Apple products.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is mostly so I might get SOMETHING back from all the time I spend
running SunHELP and MacHELP (at least an hour a day).  

So far people have bought me a scientific calculator, some bumper stickers,
five books, and a magazine subscription.  The profit-to-effort ratio ain't
that great, but it's better than nothing (as I don't make money from Google
anymore).

One place where I occasionally contribute is the Mac-Managers mailing  
list, which has a very high signal-to-noise ratio, because they  
outright reject any question that can be answered by reading manuals,  
surfing existing Apple & 3rd party support sites, and the like.  So  
the problems that end up there tend to be really 'meaty' ones.

<http://www.mac-mgrs.org>

I've received really useful responses to the few problems I've posted  
there as well.

They also have a cool get-together every year in San Francisco on the  
evening before Macworld Expo.

It sounds similar to the Sun-Managers list, which has been around since
'89, and I've been the maintainer of since 2000.  Same policy (management
questions only, nothing that can be answered/solved via Google or RTFM,
no chatting or discussions, etc).  

http://www.sunmanagers.org/

I don't host it, though.  I did for a couple of years, but now it runs on
hardware up at the University of Toronto (where the creator of the list,
John DiMarco, works).  Over a gig a day of outgoing email was straining my
poor little Ultra5 at the time. 8-)

Man, I just realized that I have a habit of spreading myself almost to thin
on all this "help people" stuff. 8-)
