I've a NAS box at home that'll work via FTP or SMB on my network.
In finder, I can connect fine to it using Go...Connect to Server and it

I've found the jobbie, it's called MacBookProUKMacKeymap
Works perfectly on my MacBook at home and on the Mini at work.
If you can't find it online, drop me an email and I'll zip it and send
it over to you.

looks as if I am going to have to completely reinstall everything on my
mac. Crash city ! I eventually got it off but my eyetv is playing up

I'd noticed a major slowdown of my G4 iBook's performance this evening,
so I did something *really* stupid and did a forced reboot, rather than
using the correct restart procedure.
Since then I've been unable to use MacSoup at all. Every time I tried to

I have just noticed an option in my iT7, about Visualizer. If you go to
the View menu, and beneath <Turn On Visualizer> there is a <Visualizer>

I'm running Acquisition to download a fairly large BitTorrent file.

to range between 6 and 15KB/s. However, Activity Monitor shows that
something is hammering the network, hovering around 10 times those

I have just bought a Belkin SATA card, which was listed on the Belkin
website as OS X compatible. However i have taken delivery of it and i
notice there is a sticker on the MAC logo on the box.
I have put it in my mac and it is not in system profiler under sata,

My replacement battery got delivered yesterday and I've put it through
a complete charge/discharge/charge cycle.
However my PB keeps sleeping suddenly! I've noticed this being logged:

I ordered that mini-VGA to VGA adapter from the Apple store yesterday 1t
around 15:30, it turned up here at 11:00.  15h30 from order to delivery.
I like it!
Now to install Screen Spanning Doctor and we're off!

I see that pain in the **** Chris Holland is now faking "Daniel
Procida"'s From: address. He may be faking others, for all I know.
I am using MacSoup, which offers reasonably extensive kill-file options,
but I don't know which to use to get rid of this irritating person,

The specifications for the new iPod Shuffle on Apple's web-site says
that it requires USB2. Is this absolutely true? I seem to remember that
the old Shuffle would work with USB1, or perhaps I'm imagining it. If
it's USB2-only then it looks like I'll have to buy a new Mac before I
