Daughter wants an iPod Nano.... NOW!!
May go to the Trafford Centre store tomorrow.  Anyone know whether they
do the laser engraving as on the online store?
If so she can start thinking of her "logo".

refuses to show OS9 as an option in Startup Disk (single partition so no

Hi everyone.. I need to get an external display for my g4 powerbook,
and ideally i'd like to get a 20in cinema display. However, our IT guys
says, why cant you just use a cheap LCD? As aesthetic arguments carry
no weight (despite being in an Art School), what other reasons can i

Anybody else having problems with Safari after updating to 10.4.7? I'm
getting repeated beachballing and have to force quit.
I had SAFT and Pith Helmet installed. I've updated SAFT to the 2.0.4.
