Morning!
Can anyone recommend a label printer that prints long, thin labels
(suitable for network switches, rackmount servers and other IT stuff)
that works with a Mac, and has labels that actually stick to IT

I'm increasingly frustrated at how iTunes Visualiser works on this dual
screen iMac (2.0 iMac G5 using SSD if that makes a difference).
If I have the iTunes window on the external monitor and do Cmd-T, Cmd-V, both
monitors go black and then the visualiser is shown on the external ...

I need a MagSafe adaptor for an hour or so for a friend who's visiting
and forgot his - is there anyone round here who happens to have such a
thing available for an hour's borrowing?

I had the chance to play with one of the new Apple keyboards today and
was very pleasantly surprised. It really is like typing on the desk but
the action is very good and I reckon the Bluetooth one will fly off the
shelves once it is available.

£275 for an 'Acer' lappy......... jeeeesh... back to school time!!!

the Fn key on my powerbook somehow got locked, i.e. the keyboard
access is like the Fn key is down. Quite annoying.
I have no idea how I managed to do so and according to the manual, the
fn key cannot be locked.

I have a C2D 2.16 Macbook Pro. I currently have a Freecom 80gb USB bus
powered drive as a backup (data only).
I'm looking for a larger usb bus powered drive to do a complete drive
clone (160gb internal drive) - 250gb+

After reading an old article on MacDevCenter.com
<http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2003/09/30/dock.html> I was
curious to see what other u.c.s.m'ers have on their menu bars.
One for the Skitchers maybe.

Is it possible to have photos that aren't part of events? I've got
plenty of one-or-two shot imports that I don't want cluttering up the
events view, but I still want access to from the main Photo section of
the library.

I've published a protected .Mac gallery, but my wi-fi connection
dropped out part way through. iPhoto reported the drop, but I can see
no way of asking it to resume (unless I fiddle with settings, but
that's changing settings not resuming as such).

I hooked my MacBook Pro up to a couple of Promethean Active White
Boards we have in meeting rooms in work today (I was making sure they
worked as people have just been using them as projection screens for
presentations). They worked fine with the MacOS X drivers available

.in the U.S. Apple store already.
Gosh!

Cheeky I know but does anyone have a Skitch invite going spare
perchance?  I signed up a while back in anticipation but appear to have
missed the boat?
TIA

Does anyone know of a free tool for converting Quicktime movies to Flash?
