I have a 17" MacBook Pro Core Duo (unfortunately not Core 2 Duo). I am
wanting to buy one of the new 802.11n Airport Extreme Basestations.

I am looking for a mobile phone tool for my Nokia camera phone. I have
a DSU USB serial cable which shows up under the USB settings as USB
Data cable - Silicon Labs.

What's the best way to transfer my programs and other data from a
desktop G4 to a brand new Imac?
The salesgirl at the Apple dealer said it's easy.
She said to just string a six-foot Firewire cable between the computers.

Hello my first post here. So here it goes, I downloaded the
most recent Stuff It Software and installed in on osx, but the trouble
is
when I go to unexand a file it stills tells me there is a new version
