Long time Apple II user (Apple IIe for about 15 years) and PC user for
the last ten years.  I've used Mac's at work extensively and quite
familiar with them.

One of our network switches died over the weekend, and now all of our

yet.  Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Good day boffins!

A friend just got a Titanium iBook (G4) with a recent version of OS X,
and she's now exploring it to determine its value to her. She noticed
that it was shutting down after very short periods of time, and she
stumbled upon how to change the time till shutdown in the Panels.

Granted that there are numerous variations between everyone's Mac CPU
