my music library which is split between a PowerBook and a desktop PC. I

I've been having problems with squaling front brakes lately.  It's VERY
loud and I think I am waking up my neighbours when I come down the hill
towards home at night!
Usually when I have this problem I increase the toe-in on the brake pads,

Do not, I repeat, do not, use Techtools Deluxe 3.0.3 (supplied as part
of an Applecare extended warranty) to try to fix the disk directory
structure under Tiger!!! I just made the very bad mistake of doing just

the Dock is nowhere to be found.

My employer is having trouble logging into her OSX 10.2 iBook.  Somehow she

am looking for alternative ways to post articles at the paper that I
run. BTW I am the IT guy and the one who puts our paper together.

I have a Windows XP Media Center SP2 (XP Pro) desktop and a iBook with
