I prefer yahoo coz it's push-email (which by the way I have never seen
mentioned anywhere outside the steve jobs keynote back in jan 2007)
I prefer using a mail account because it means you can still use it
when you are on a plane

Things were fine yesterday, but I had to do a reboot, and now things are
odd on my MacBook.
There's no sound coming out of the speaker, and there's a red light
shining out of the audio out jack on the side (it's the optical port,

Yesterday, during a clone backup I noticed for I think the first time an
invisible file ".uis" at the root of my disk.
A head in Terminal shows it to list about everything I have on this
disk.

I've recently installed the Safari 3.1 patch update, and notice now
that GMail is almost unusable in Safari. I can seem to read mail fine,
but manipulating mail messages (selecting, deleting, moving) has
unpredictable results, and I can't use the text composer reliably at

Could somebody either tell me how to do this from a shell script or
point me to the docs that will explain it?  Apparently it is possible to
do this but I don't know how.
We have a new "appleserver" on our network which also consists of two

Word up peeps,
A while ago I would never bother with backups. But hearing Adam
Christianson go on and on and on and on (and on..) I decided to clone
my HDD using SuperDuper every now and then.

Apropos my wireless card, I have discovered one thing that may be

I Have a problem. I Have a MacMini with mac os 10.5 and a printer HP

crash. I have the lastest driver.
Someone have a solution?

I've just bought an external hard disc, and I want to name it to fit in
with the rest of my network.
How do I do this - or, even, can I do it?
I tried just changing the name of the icon, but when I tried to access

I'm running 10.4.11. I just did a Software Update, getting the latest
Java, Safari 3.1, and a security update.
Following the update, my system started going to sleep after a few
minutes of inactivity. I normally have it set to never sleep, since I

I need to run a program on my macbook that will take serveral hours to
complete. If I leave it unattended, will it fall asleep and stop
running the program until it wakes up? Or is the OS smart enough to
realize that I'm running something?

I have a 5 year old eMac running at 1.3 ghz.  So I cannot use iMovie
08. I am using Tiger 10.4.1.1.  When I view videos from the net using
RealPlayer I can adjust the color settings.  When I bring up video
from my hard drive using RealPlayer I cannot change color settings.

Word up peeps,
I forgot my headphones. I was listening to podcasts over the speaker -

Is there some way to consolidate all the Libraries into One
