I've only been to a couple of Mac Expos in London and could not make it
to the one held last year...
The ones I had been to I was able to purchase iBooks for a slight
discount - £50-70 off the standard price.

Along with my VijAgRa rubbish, I'm being inundated with options to buy
stocks, I've tried all sorts of " content " filters to no avail,
what do you all do to junk this stuff?

Apologies if this has been covered before, and if so anybody point me
in the thread direction, But.........
How many of you take up this option when buying new machines and is it
worth it?

Okay; Bella, Flavio and I went to the Sodere *thiopian restaurant
(Google it) in Shepherd's Bush. It's a nice place, run by very nice
people. The food was spicier (hotter) than at the Merkato, but it was
excellent. They told us that if we wanted it milder, they could do that

I suddenly can't access the ntl: news server using Hogwasher. I haven't
changed any settings, but ntl: insist that the server is working

Having used Quark 6.5 quite happily on a G4 Mini, I have now encountered
how lethargic Quark 7 is on similar hardware (even with maxed-out RAM).
I'd be grateful for comments from other users of Quark 7 as to which
Macs have proved OK, and which they have found too slow.

I haven't had this MacBook 2 months yet, but have had 3 panics in the
past fortnight requiring restart - I only had that many in the nearly 4
years with the iBook.
It is always on waking up, so I don't knoww what is going on

I've tried imovie, avid dv and some other free video editor this
evening but they ALL take forever to import videos to the project. Can
anyone recommend a good, fast video editing program for Mac OSX that
doesn't force me to import videos to the project but rather just calls

I have an old 17" anglepoise style iMac and am looking to add a
wireless internet card or usb adapter to it.
Whats the easiest way to make my mac wireless so i can connect it to
our adsl router.  I looked at buying a USB adapter first but most seem

I just got a brand new macbook 13". unfortunatelly, the keyboard and
touchpad freezes some time after I switch on. this problem rectifies
only after I shutdown and switch on again. restarting doesn't help at
all.

I'm sure a while back someone demonstrated a method of enabling
file/volume sharing on a remote OS X machine via the command line.
Have searched in the usual places and have come up short. Can anyone
remind me what the command name and syntax should be please?

Is that they aren't common enough ... (in the everyday sense)?
My mate is a gardener and one of his customers is an elderly lady.
Knowing he 'knew about computers' (he is also a digital photographer
and does video editing etc) she asked him the other day to help her

I've recently switched over to a 17" core duo iMac after being a devout
PC user for some 14 years or so. I've had my mac for about 2 weeks now
and I must say I'm amazed by it, totally. I keep digging around and
finding new features, and also a big plus for me is the way everything

Have been trying to set up the above using Eudora and/or Outlook.
The result is the same: I get password requests (although I have entered
and saved PW several times) then I get error messages.
Strangely, I can then send mail via TalkTalk BUT cannot receive any.
