Question

What does Bonjour do?

Simple enough (but stupid) question. I understand it has a role in sharing music on itunes and stuff with printing, but Apple doesn't really say much

Powerbook G4 15, 1gb RAM, 1.5ghz, 64mb graphics, Mac OS X (10.4.6), < This space available for rent (iPod please!!) >

Hello,

Basically, it is Apple's method of "auto discovering" devices and other equipment that you can talk to (computers, printers, etc.).

Here's a article discussing it:

Hope this helps.
