    How to change MAC address on Linksys Router?

    I need to clear the cache when doing web development work as sometimes the code doesn't refresh. I used to do this in the past and the icons never got deleted. It's strange that it started happening now.

    Securing a hard drive in the PowerMac G5?

    I had to take out my hard drive in my PowerMac G5, but now when I go to put it back in it just hangs there even when the slider (that says A) is pushed over. Is there some kind of trick to keeping it from sliding up and down? I've tried putting it in both the A and B slots.
