snags to this; firstly it has resulted in a great pile of stuff being
ported over each time [and as this has been going on since the early

What's the best tool to record system sounds. Not the microphone and not line in. I have installed soundflower
and have audacity and tried to record using audacity but it didn't work. Has anyone successfully done this?
Thanks

I'd like to use my macbook pro (with express card slot, not pc card)
with 3g data.  From what I've read so far I'd be better off doing this
using a 3g phone as a bluetooth modem rather than getting an expresscard
modem (which wouldn't allow normal phone  use anyway)

I have one, does one of you lovely people need one at a fair price?
it's brand new, sent in replacement for a supposedly dodgy one last

says there is a new rule for "Apple news", which looks for a whole raft
of from addresses such as "enews@apple.com", and colours them blue.
If Apple are creating Mail rules remotely, this smacks of a little too

I've been looking at the refurb store and dithering...
I'm sure that there was some discussion about the early MacBooks &
Macbook Pros getting hot and some mention that since the Core 2 Duos
this is less noticeable but despite a google I can't seem to find it

I mounted a (duff, it turns out) NTFS-formatted PC laptop hard drive via USB
on my MacBook yesterday.  The icon for it appeared on the desktop.  I then
dismounted it by dragging it to the wastebin, and it disappeared, so I

Let's pretend I have a wireless modem that runs on 802.11b, one laptop
capable of 802.11g and another capable of 802.11n. I might expect guest

If I were to add an Airport Extreme to this setup, connected wirelessly

No matter how often I install Elements 2 on this Mac at work, it won't
install the default items (default swatches etc). At home, however, on
