missing (ie pushed off the edge of the screen). Unfortunately i didnt
note exactly what my display preferences were before this occurred but

I have a Powerbook G4, all software current to 10.4.4
If I try to insert a normal audio CD, I get a "can't recognize this CD"
error message. After poking around in the newsgroups, I saw a situation
where a user solved this by creating a new User ID.  So I did this, and

My abuser has been using the medical device to harass me the last 4-5

I have a 15" 800 MHz Titanium PowerBook with 512 MB RAM currently running
10.3.9.  It seems like it has been running slower and slower with each

Ack! The power to our G5/1.6 single-proc. tower got turned off while the
computer was running. To make sure everything was OK, I used OnyX to run
all scripts (that worked fine) and then to verify and repair
