Generally most programs do not require an uninstaller like programs for Windows. On a mac, just drag the program to the trash bin to delete it. Simple.

With the release of Mac App Store, wonder if we would be able to delete a program by just pressing the ‘delete’ button, or maybe it’s already implemented? If so, I’ll seriously consider switching to Mac.

Comment on Apple Lisa First Look by ClarusWorks

I see it’s been over a year now, but are you still trying to fix your Lisa? The screen issue looks like out-of-adjustment or dirty video board potentionmeters. The video board is located underneath the top cover of the machine. This manual: http://www.1000bit.it/support/manuali/download.asp?id=22 has some useful information.

Be careful adjusting the pots. You’ll have to do this with the computer turned on, and there are dangerous high voltages accessible with the top lid removed. Don’t touch the CRT (picture tube), the wire/suction cup attached to it, or the transformer the large wire plugs into. You won’t shock yourself if all you touch is the plastic knobs on the potentiometers. Adjusting the horizontal hold control should make the 3 images go away. If the image is still blurry, you’ll need to adjust the cutoff (which is one of the two knobs on the back of the machine).

Once you have your screen adjusted, you should be able to read the error code and look it up in the PDF I linked to. If you’d like more advice, feel free to contact me.

Your machine was manufactured in late 1984 (Manufactured: 4283 translates to the 283rd day of 1984). I can’t really make out the error you have on screen but it looks like it might be 82 or 84 which would indicate a hard disk problem.

i think you need to do some knock knock on the top part of Lisa. Then the screen will be back to the norm again. Just like how we usually do to old TV. hehe…

Comment on Restoring a Macintosh SE/30 Part 1 by Kristeen Autman

The secretiveness is the product of Apple’s smartly crafted promotion process. Without the veil of secrecy, the alleged leaks wouldn’t get the attention that they do. You’re a sap if you don’t believe these leaks are intentionally leaked. I mean frankly, how hard would it really be to trace back to the one who leaked it? How many people have access to Apple prototypes?
