I'm often asked to send people DV streams of my shows, and these are huge
files, often around 30GB.
What's the best way to do this? They're far too big to e-mail. Is there a
medium which will cheaply hold such a large file that I can send them snail

If you show the progress indicator while a song is playing, click
somewhere in the middle and hold the mouse button down, does the
progress indicator move to that position and scan backwards?

I just compiled some of my utterly un-Mac-like, command-line
XML-processing programs on a 2.66GHz MacPro, which is replacing a 2GHz

a restriction on the screen side of the slot, but I know there is
nothing in there, it worked fine yesterday, and ejected. The machine is
still under warranty, but do you have any suggestions as to action I can

I'm still pondering over how to record analogue video onto my G5 for
burning to DVD. The conversion from the Mac to a DVD is not a problem,
and not an area that I need to dwell on, I'm happy to use iMovie and
iDVD for that.

Does anyone know what Palm ebook formats can be created using OS X?

Another interface style? just what we need. This one seems totally different

I have  problem with a site where my card details are autofilled after
the first digit. I can prevent it by manually deleting the site from the
autofill list after each visit but this is a pain. Is there any way to
get autofill not to list the site at all without turning the whole
