I bought a Belkin Ethernet Wireless adaptor in the sale at John Lewis,
hoping that it would be a cheaper way of connecting an old imac to a
wireless network, than buying an airport express card + adaptor.
It works straight out of the box, but only on an unsecured network. To

I bought a brand new 120GB drive for my mac book, first of all I hooked it
up as an external and it showed in in DU just as a disk with no volume. If I
erased the disk it would create a volume called 'Untitled', so I did this.
Now I put the new disk into the Macbook and put in the ...

I have only had my Macbook for 3 months and the hard drive failed last
weekend. Luckily I had everything backed up - I did several backup

But seriously, this is a Mac group. What are you talking about -
Security problems? on a mac? Dude, so something believable.
(There are ZERO viruses on OS X, it is the safest OS out there).

This one hasnt come up for a while, so here goes:
I need a flat bed scanner.With the ability to scan slides/negs on
occasion (these will be medium format slides, as there is no way I can
justify the cost of a medium format film scanner).

I had to grit my teeth listening to the blatant puff for Microsoft
Vista on the Today programme this morning: the flagship 8:10 slot, if
