I have installed Vista (need for work) on MacBook Pro, I also got rid
of Mac OS X. Everything works great :). The only thing that is strange
for me is that keyboard doesn't work before login window. For example
I can't go into safe mode (have to press F8 while booting).

Hey remember when people q'd up for the Sony PS3 in London. The person

Recently it has been failing to shut down completely. It closes all open

I have some historical newsletters on Mac disks that I want to post on
the internet.  Some of the disks cannot be read - I guess they are
