Dear All ­
A client brought in a G4 iBook, in lovely condition, 18 months old, broken
logic board.
Out of warranty, in UK law.

I synchronise my user space on my iMac and iBook, but not the user
Library folders.
Is there likely to be anything in there which would cause serious issues
if it were messed about with in this fashion?

Hello everybody again - yet another question!

Just come off the phone from my wife - her MacBook's drive has now
died. Suspiciously similar symptoms, straight after a warm day and she
came in to find the fans going wild and a kernel panic on the screen.
Bah.

If I needed a 2.5" SATA drive quick for a MacBook, would Regent Street
sell one for not -too- much of a price hike over, say,
morecomputers.co.uk?
80gig/100gig is what I'd be looking at, no need for the 160gig drives here.

Now I know you don't really hold us PCer's in much esteem,
and as it is software to unravel the restrictions of iTunes

switching off at random.  I got someone to take out the HD, and I sucked
the user account from the drive to put his files and stuff onto a new
20" iMac (very nice!).

No really - you didn't read that wrong. Mac bad, Windows good. It's
not news you expect to hear everyday.
