A long time ago, I knew a keyboard shortcut for ejecting a disk, but leaving its icon on the desktop. Can anyone refresh my memory? (ICYA - it's useful for disk-to-disk copying if you only have a single CD drive...)

So? Do you sell a car that's perfect for you and buy a new one just because it's newer? I don't get the need for a new version of Max Menus at all - it's just great as it is. Don't fix what's not broken! I know FruitMenus, but have steered clear of it because it won't work without a...

Perhaps not a bad thing - 1. sometimes (not often) Synergy gets the wrong album cover 2. in iTunes, the album cover art actually gets written into the mp3 file (I think - please enlighten me if I'm mistaken), and I would rather not have my mp3s altered without my prior approval. Still, if...

G 1. True, but not a big deal (for me anyway). 2. Don't get your point - what has this to do with custom menus? FWIW, you can put your Applications folder in a MaxMenus menu. Then, from the Finder, drag any file onto the menu (which opens), then to any app in the Applications folder to use...

Freaky - I didn't know there was a Synergy other than the iTunes one. But the iTunes Synergy is simply awesome - control iTunes without leaving the application you're working on - Play/Pause, Next/Previous, etc, all from the keyboard! Indispensible. Get it at...

MaxMenus lets you put up to 12(!) fully customisable menus discreetly in the corners of your screen. The menus appear as small coloured spots, so subtle that anyone not familiar with the interface may never notice they are there. But the menus behind the spots can be simply awesome. You can...

Thanks, but Disk Utility sees "a damaged extents..." - the message appears to be cut off - then reports Disk Repaired. However, my problem remains exactly the same after the repair. I have also tried Norton SystemWorks, which invites me to authorise upwards of a dozen Fixes before it finally...

I have a Pismo PowerBook with its internal hard drive partitioned - an 8GB partition with OSX 10.2.4, and a 3GB partition with OS 9.2. I normally start up from the Jaguar partition. (As my primary backup, I have both these partitions cloned onto corresponding partitions on a FW external drive.)...

D'oh! Thanks.

I have just bought a TiPB and want to use MacOS X as default. However, this was a demo model and someone else had previously set up OS X. I have added myself as a User with admin privileges, and deleted the original user, but on the Log In screen, it still says that the computer belongs to the...
