If I create a burn folder, click burn, and put a
freshly unwrapped DVD-RW disk in the drive, OS X
burns the folder. No problems there[1].

For anyone out there who uses or is interested in SlingBox, they've
*finally* updated the software to include the Telewest (or Virgin as it
now is) TV Drive remote control. Full access to the box when away from
home! At last!

All of a sudden, the trackpad on my PB G4's stopped working. If I
reboot I can wiggle it around for a minute or thereabouts, and then it
freezes.
(Thank god for Tiger's keyboard accessibility stuff, and that I've got

There are a number of unread messages in Mails Spam folder but I can't

I am thinking of buying a MacBook, second hand, and have been supplied
with the information below from the seller, who lives in the UK (where
he bought the MacBook). He bought the MacBook in Sept 2006 and with a

Synergy (UK) Ltd SCL3 84V0. There is a DB-25 connector  and it is fitted

As I was leaving Mum's yesterday she handed me a flyer from a little
