I bought a Belkin USB 2.0 and Firewire PCI card, but I can't get it to
work. I downloaded USB drivers, but no go. Can someone with a similar
Mac suggest a card that *would* work?
TIA!

I just got back from the Apple Store where I bought a LaCie big extereme
+ hard drive.  I really considered the same sized Time Capsule, but
money was an issue and I already had a router.
I was going to back up my wife's year old 256G iMac and my 500G iMac and

Just fishing for ideas - have any of you guys found some interesting

Since a few months ago, when new features were added to the Finder,
it's possible for the Finder to crash upon opening a folder.  I believe
Finder crashes when it encounters a problem while trying to display a
preview icon for a file.

It appears that the time zone information for Buenos Aires Argentina is
incorrect on my system, 10.5.2.  The Worldclock widget is telling me that
it is currently 22:48 there, while a person on the phone is telling me

Before you lose your minds about this one, I've got one more question and
hopefully some advice will help before I dive into the black zone of the

On two Intel Macs running latest Leopard I get the message "Do you
want the application 'krb5kdc' to accept incoming network connections?"
What in hell is "krb5kdc"?
Photoshop replacement?

Hi, sorry but my Thunderbird seems to have lost the thread about this,
hence new thread.
Michelle, thanks for the explanation. I filed a 'bug report', hopefully
there will be a few more filed about that.

Is the throughput from the Mac Pro's RAID system pretty much
proportional to the number of drives hanging off the RAID card?
Alternatively, are there ... parasitic factors that degrade that
proportion substantially?

I'll shortly have two 2.8GHz iMacs in the house, the newest being a
replacement for the replacement (which is sitting on my desk right now).
Yes - that's right. Apple have given me two lemons in a row. That or
these iMacs and/or Leopard are just so spectacuarly bad I'll never see

So I'm looking for a scanner for my Mini and was wondering if anyone
knows of websites that have recently compiled compatible USB scanners
for OS X 10.4 and 10.5.  And if I don't need color scanning, would my
field of possibilities be much wider?  Forgive the nuubieness of these

Very pleased to see that I can easily get the search function to
restrict to filenames again in 10.5 but it seems to have lost the
ability to search half my disk. Does anyone know how to get it to search
everything? It seems to be quite restricted by default, even not showing
