Press: Option-Command-Shift-Delete during startup and choose the boot disc/drive that you want to try booting from.

This is the coolest thing I've ever seen. I worry though...will people use it for good...or for evil?

Careful...you're implying that ANY file in the Users folder could cause the system to be unstable. Instead of wiping out everything, you could have saved all your songs, movies, documents, and pictures without risk. The users folder may well have had a corrupted system file in there...

There have been various reports of trouble caused by that Java update around the net. I'm not sure that a Java update would cause the problems you've described, but I've heard of a fix for others who had problems stemming from the update. Randy B Singer, owner of...

Oh goody I get to be the first to say it: Backup! You're hearing the first parts of what might be a failing hard drive. Even Macs aren't immune to crappy hard drives.

Mail's got the built in ability to import old mailboxes, though it's occasionally buggy. Just make sure you keep all the contents of the old mail folder. When you launch mail on your new machine, fill in all the requested information correctly and then go to file --> import mailboxes and...

That's a pretty sweet background. Did you make it?

Don't die, thread.

As far as Pocket PCs go, there's only one program that currently works with Macs. It's called Pocketmac Pro 2.0 and you can read about it here: http://www.macworld.com/2003/06/reviews/pocketmacpro2/ It's not exactly a booming market currently on the Mac, but like all things it's improving.

Thus far Safari's been the best browser I've ever used. I got out of the Wintel camp about 1 1/2 years ago so I've not had much experience with the latest XP browsers. Still, besides the occasional hiccup that I can use IE to correct, Safari's been wonderful.

Could be any number of things. You'll need to do a diagnostic with the Apple Hardware testing Cd, or Techtool Pro like Arden said. I also suspect a failing hard drive. Do you have Diskwarrior available?

Here's Maw Latest I got inspired to actually make a relatively clean looking destkop and theme...

He's grrring at you, Reality. Commence with the kung-foo *pulls out popcorn* . No dude, some files just won't work no matter what you use. I'd say 1 in 30 files won't work on a Mac OS period. The other 29 work with one of the following: Quicktime, MPlayer, VLC, or WMP. You...

No...he makes a great point....................I think I agree. :p

Tell us: 1.) did you zap the PRAM? 2.) did you try discwarrior? 3.) do you have any RAM in your system beside what came with it origionally? If so, try taking the extra stuff out after shutting the power off, and then re-booting. 4.) archive and install (see below) A complete...

Yikes, sux man. The danger with Apple's iPhoto and iTunes is that people store their vital files in the Apple-designated folders. These folders are much too easily erased. In the future I'd recommend having a different music storage or backup space besides the "iTunes library" to minimize...

Habilis - That was a great opening statement! I've had some (heated) debates with friends and family about the nature of evolution; both technologically and biologically. I share your view that aggression breeds progress. The most controversial view I hold is that war, while a...

Do you have access to discwarrior? That might help.

Just in case anyone was unclear... Ballmer loves that company.

I've never seen a 13 year old male that was so different from how I was. C'mon guy when I was 13 I'd have fainted from bliss if I'd managed to find something like this... ;)
