It's an old one, the Dock/buttons/wheel one... and all it says on the
screen is do not disconnect.
iTunes said the device couldn't be written to, and sure enough it had
locked up in mid-charge so the lighting is still there too.

I'm getting several annoying 'stock tips' every day which are bypassing
Apple Mail's junk filter. You know the sort - every one has a different
subject and sender. Every one has the standard nonsense text to avoid
the junk filters and every one has the stock tip as a jpeg ...

I was wondering if anyone has tried using VMWare or Parallels on the
new Intel-based MacBooks? How is the performance when running Linux or
Windows as a guest OS? Is a lot of RAM required to get the guest OSes
to run resource intensive applications quickly?

I'm about to order new MacBookPro but I wonder what kind of screen should I
go for glossy or none glossy ?
Is there a big difference between them apart from the colour ?
Thanks - Tom

Is anyone using Totalweb solutions for hosting, please?
I have a client with a site hosted there and I'm having trouble
connecting with Transmit.
I can connect to the server ok but I can't get a file listing.

I have just been given an IMAC G3 350MHz 128MB Ram, 10GB hard drive. It
currently has no operating system. What one would you recommend using with
this machine, as I'm new to Apple Macs and don't understand all the
different versions available?
