it would reappear if I reset (powr off/on) the printer, the ...

If you look at this page, http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/ , you'll see no
less than 4 different ways of protecting the images.  Do people really
steal these small images?  And are they really worth going to all this
trouble to protect them?  The methods employed are:

I'm having a problem with printing matched colors between two versions of
AppleWorks.  The printer is an Epson C60.  The computer is a Mac Mini with

My G5 iMac running 10.4.4 starts up at 3 am each morning to perform routine
and periodic maintenance.  How can I stop it doing this?

Today I bought a USB ... uh, "disk"? One of those little 256MB memory cards
about the size of a small pack of gum that appear to the OS as a hard disk.
Anyway, since I'm going to be sharing it with Windows users, I figured I'd go

Looks like my iMac G5 17" that I bought last summer will become surplus
equipment after Christmas.
It has the 3 year Apple extended warranty and all the paperwork (even the

PC man on my friends Mac trying to help. But this error seems more serious

My HC Soundsticks will not work when connected to my new Belkin USB 2.0
