2. Logitech MX-1000 USB (wireless) mouse
... with their Mac.

SuperDuper wants LOTS of disk space on the destination drive. On the
destination drive it creates a "sparse image", which is a good thing; it is
large enough to contain only a copy of the data, no empty storage space. But
to accomplish that...

   What is the difference between 4-pin and 6-pin firewire ports.  My
Panasonic Toughbook has a miniature firewire port.  Is there an adapter
available to convert it to standard size?  Forgive me for asking a PC
question on a Mac group but I operate both systems!  Mac guys are ...

Sheesh! I ordered the iGo Juice from Amazon on Feb 1, and it's been out of
stock ever since (they said 4 were on hand when I orderd). Two delay
notices; its' supposed to ship next week sometime, but they said that
_last_ time the sent a delay notice.

My iMac just STOPPED reading CD/DVDs. And I am supposed to be selling it
tomorrow. What can I do?? Somebody please help me - I haven't even used it
that much :(

Are there devices that would let me transmit music from my regular (and
old) stereo to wireless speakers? (I bought the tuner/preamp and amp in
'97, so there are no digital ouputs -- just RCA plugs between them and
speaker connections on the amp.)

Hey all,

I printed around 150 pages of black-and-white text, and then went to

Not too familiar with the iMacs. I have a 40 GB HD out of a quicksilver
 I'd like to donate to a friend with an iMac.
Any body know if the dimensions are the same? Any problems with doing this?

Put simply, I don't know what I am doing.  I cannot get the iBook under
OS 9.1 to recognize the g3 tower with os 10.2, and I cannot see the
iBook from the tower.
I need to connect the two so i can transfer all the data from the book

I have a beige g3 on osx 10.2.8 and a blueberry iBook on os 9.2.2.  I
have them linked with a crossover cable.  I have followed the directions
graciously given by several in these forums, and yet when I try to link,
I get:

In the library section of itunes all my music is listed twice.. i.e
every song is listed twice. Anybody shed any light onto this and how
to correct it so songs are only listed once???  Tia

OSX.3 - iBooks
I tried cloner one laptop to another.  It seemed to copy fine but when
i booted the newly cloned laptop the users were not listed.  There was
only one user called Other... with some unidentifiable password.  When

I just viewed a DVD on my new (for me) G4 AGP.
The first thing I noticed is that it would be
great if I had a remote of some kind a la a TV.
Is there a device (wireless or USB) to do this?

I'm considering buying an iPod. I've queried two iPod owners and
neither one can tell me if it is possible to shuffle a playlist on the
iPod. Either it is not possible or they don't know how to do it. One
