How does Apple expect most of their users to reinstall the OS on new Macs which don't have an optical drive?

I'm not sure why you posted this article. Do some Apple users real think they can't change the Mac Pro CPU? I'm pretty sure I've seen compatible Xeons (had the spelling wrong before) for WAY less used than that article mentioned. Now I'm not sure which Xeons are compatible with earlier Mac...

I think one guideline is: What could you replace on a Mac Pro that wouldn't cause them to raise their eyebrows when you sent it in for repair? Surely any hard drive has to be on the bottom of their list. Memory/ram would be a close second. Same with an optical drive. I bet if the power...

Perhaps some guidelines like this might help. If you can interchange something in a Mac Pro without Apple caring, its not a gray area. Like hard drives, memory, optical drives, as well as external devices. People go to PC stores all the time to save a few bucks if they see some super sale...

So it should expand everything to html files that I can import into Windows/Opera?

So I backed up my Opera Bookmarks rigorously in case the Mac died. Well it died. And since I'm using a WinXP machine for the time being I'd like to bring those bookmarks over to the PC. The problem is they are in a .hqx format and I don't know how to extrat it. I tried WinRAR and 7zip...

Update: I've been using WinXP on a 1.8ghz/4gb machine for a few days now and this setting doesn't work the same. Now I seem to get the best speeds with uploads set at about 20k. Not sure how it works with DSL. I'm on a very fast cable service with downloads usually coming down at over 10mb...

I use the latest Transmission on the latest Leopard and was trying different settings since my horrible ISP changed something after doing significant work on the system. Before I would get varying rates of speed and it didn't matter if I limited my upload speed. After the work my speed was...

You see what I don't understand is if folders and sub folders work with file organization with every operating system, why not let the same system be used for iTunes' files? In iTunes one can use folders and subfolders but my iPod Nano ignores that orgnaization. Also if I want to copy a folder...

I've been assembling a want list for features wanted in a MP3 player. Unfortunately Apple comes up near the bottom offering almost nothing that I need. So I'm looking farther afield. Just to get this out of the way, some of the reasons Apple doesn't make the grade - what I'm looking for in a...

Firefox has interesting possibilities but they have chosen to use some unconventional keyboard shortcuts. I'd like to be able to change or create them to match other browsers. Is this possible? Or is there a utility that I can use to do this? Particularly turning Javascript on and off...

Suddenly some of my keyboard shortcuts are all wrong. I have no idea what happened. Anyway now F6 is closing windows and F11 is Save. Where would these setting be? Nothing is changed in Sys Prefs, Kb/Mouse, Shortcuts. I only use 3 of them - all others have been disabled so they don't...

If there is anyone there that is familiar with Console messages in Leopard please let me know. Also the best way of copying the messages over....just copy and paste? Or is there a way of uploading an entire file of messages. And what area of Console should I be paying attention to. I have...

This happens about once a day. This is the error message. Maybe somebody there can point me in a direction so I can understand this. And fix it eventually. Question: Is there anything below that could compromise my security or privacy? Could I post this on a public forum for help without...
