Anyone know if they're available?  Or a 2.5" gender changer?
I've been using Adam's one and its working great. But I can't seem to
run an optical drive off the same cable.  I've tried Cable Select as
well as Master and Slave but if the optical drive is in there, the Mini

Whenever I use Disk Utility it finds permissions to correct on my drive,

permissions? What fate is DU saving me from?

I recently upgraded to Tiger and can no longer disable jounaling
through the Disk Utility. I am not very familar with the Terminal or

When I cmd-click on a URL in Apple Mail, it's always Safari which is opened.

containing the basic map data be in the drive when you run it.

Silly question -- I am sure thsi is something that I have accidentally
done but can't figure out how to get it back: ESC is not working under
my profile on my iMac.  It just is not responding in almost all (except
of Option-Command-Escape sequence).  Works perfectly fine under other

Which ones of mac portables and desktop keyboards have
backlit keypads? Thanks

I use the firewall rule

The question has been asked, how can we cause the wireless connection to
start before someone logs in.  I've poked around a bit and discovered
that there are two initialization directories, "/etc/mach_init.d" and
"/etc/mach_init_per_user.d".  The per_user directory contains

15 inch Apple PowerBook--an awesome, elegant machine!
I am selling this machine only 4 weeks old in perfect condition. I have
