Zsolt's disappearing cursor wasn't enough of a problem for me to solve so I had to go and install QuickTime 4 on my Mac. Oops. Nothing in the readme file suggested that installing it would make Photoshop and Claris Home Page stop working. All I wanted to was to make Eudora happy and I'd somehow gotten it into my head that upgrading QuickTime would magically enable it to stop crashing every time I foolishly double-clicked on a message with an attachment. I forget where I got that idea - some magazine. So I had this CD that came in the latest Mac World with QuickTime 4 among other things. The rest is history. I have reinstalled Photoshop, Claris Home Page, Quick Time 2.5, and Mac OS 8, not necessarily in that order. I can now do everything I did before and Zsolt's cursor has stopped disappearing. Coincidence? Newage Synchronicity? No. Actually deleting all the Word 97 macros and running Norton anti virus worked. Just to make things more interesting, I ordered the latest version of Eudora Pro and the latest version of Mac Link Plus so I can waste a ton of time tomorrow installing them and still have to drag the attachments manually to the MacLinkPlus window to view them. Why do meaningful work when I can mess up software? Besides that I had this realization that the only truly meaningful jobs are farming and sewage treatment. |
