Apple is starting a "Real People" ad campaign tomorrow. CNet: http://news.com.com/2100-1040-934349.html Read the CNet article, this looks like it could be a winner. :D

I think that usually happens if the SystemUI process dies.. Not sure what the cause is, but I've had it happen randomly before.

Nope... But I'm sure they'd send you a brand new one.. for $400. ;)

You should be able to command-drag the menus out of the menubar and they should poof. If not, you may want to try restarting and trying again.

Right now I only know English, but I hope to learn Spanish or some other language in the future. :D

Actually, I've determined it's the Hard Drive making noise now (although I think the fan has gotten a little louder too). So I pulled an all nighter backing everything up to Zip and CD-R and I'm going to have to take it to the Apple Store and get it replaced soon. Thank god I have an iBook to...

Thanks! That will be very helpful! Almost forgot about my Address Book, glad that should be easy to backup.

I'm having a lot of trouble with Mac OS X on my Power Mac 733 recently.. I've tried everything from Fsck -y to Disk First Aid and still have issues, some worse after the fsck (like my Icy Juice contact list files being deleted and keychains gone). Anyways, I want to back up all my Mailboxes...

Under Preferences > Advanced - Scripts & Windows, make sure the bottom two cookie options (I believe read cookies and create and change cookies) are both enabled. Not sure if you tried that section or not, but they do seem to put the cookie options in two places.

Yes, the Sound Sticks do take up a lot of USB Bandwidth, but shouldn't frequently blow a USB port. You may want to take advantage of your AppleCare 90 day phone support and call up Apple Support and ask if it's a known issue or something you should have checked, just to be safe. Because it would...

I can see why Apple didn't include it with the update... Some apps aren't designed to be antialiased so they will provide a poor result in some cases (AIM, BBEdit, ...) so they really wanted to wait for developers to release an update patch that makes everything look right. And to answer...
