searching the original folder itself. Rather, it returns results that

I have been using Sherlock for local movie theatre listings for alot of
years now. However, in the interest of getting the movie trailor feature

I have a digital LCD monitor connected to the DVI port of my G5's
GeForce FX 5200 video card. (Single-cpu 1.8G model G5).
If I want to connect a second digital monitor, I'd have to use an
ADC-DVI adapter to connect to the ADC port on the 5200.

In the last couple of days (not sure I know exactly when it
started unfortunately) my MBP suddenly has some mystery code
running the CPU loads very high, and heating the box up like a
pancake griddle.  It will literally get almost painful to touch

I noticed yesterday, after the cat walked on the keyboard, that applications

it back I noticed that when I let it sleep for five minutes or longer

target mode to a mounted DVD image on a desktop machine.

Since 2 weeks I have now a Mac, but I can´t use my good old "Minolta
PagePro 8L" due to I can´t find a working driver!!!!!

There seem to be a lot of programmes around which can discover Album
Covers and import them directly into itunes e.g. CoverScout.
Is there any programme which will look the songs in my iTunes library
and directly import album names into it.

Is there any way to burn iTunes Music Store videos to a DVD or video CD?

I have two Macs I use frequently. Both are dual bootable and do both the
OX and 9.2.2.
The Blue G3 tower has an on/off button on the keyboard. The keyboard is
USB. So that means the keyboard is hot even though the computer is not

I can play audio just fine from inside iTunes.  But I have lost the
ability to play audio from inside the QuickTime player, or from
streaming audio sources on the web from inside Safari.  All the "Sound"
and "QuickTime" system preferences seem ok.   I am on a G5 flat-panel

For the longest time, I haven't been hearing my G4's modem
dialing and connecting to the 'net, and I couldn't figure out why.
As this had no negative impact on anything, I dismissed the quirk
and enjoyed the silence...until yesterday.
