One little thing has been bugging me lately. I see lots of stories of

Dumb question: I have some images, originally TIFF files, which were

I know this may be a (very) stupid question, but I'll ask it anyway.
Does Apple have any UK-based customer services, whether tel or
snail-mail? I ask as I sent off my iPod, which has 2 intermittent
faults, and they quickly returned it to me, saying that their test

Unbelievably, the drive has just died on my MacBook Pro again. Truly
astonishing. Back from Apple less than three days, and used for only

These are probably premature but let's try anyway:
 - any clues as to the minimum hardware spec for Leopard client or server?
