Searching for file names via finder window input field doesn't work on

portable usb hard drive?  I really have no idea where to look.  I
guess I need to buy an IDE controller that has a USB connection on it

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but in Leopard, Finder
windows set to icon view now allow you to set the grid spacing.  I
hadn't noticed this until last night.

I've searched in many groups but still can't find the answer. Search
on apple.com wasn't successful. The only thing I found that some

I have to back up data from a MacPro that goes to service.
I had Seagate 750 GB disks, one of them partitioned in several

Someone is attacking one of my favorite USENET groups. The attacker is
easy to recognize because of a certain rare combination of letters in
his path -- let's say it's abcde. Nothing under "Path contains" seems

Under Leopard, Safari is constantly asking for my password: "Safari
wants to use the "login" keychain. Please enter the keychain password."
This isn't tied to any particular kind of web page -- it happens with
pages with no security whatsoever, e.g.

I'm using an iMac 24" Core 2 duo (white), OS 10.4.10, and
