I tried Vista out and have to say, it has nothing innovative. Sure the interface is much improved, although when you think about it they just put aero glass around XP windows and added more annoyance and pop-ups. As much as they try to copy Apple, OSX is still king.:) Day-to-Day use, I still...

You make your public folder available without password, but the rest of your folder remain protected with a your password. If you give your password out, people would be able to access your account information, including your payment options (credit card), etc...

I was not around when the site was new. For us newer folks, can you tells us what the site was like. I been on this site for many years, and enjoy the community here. I am also impressed with the amount of Mac, and other knowledge people have. Personally, I have learned so much from reading post...

Microsoft and Apple will not become one company, for the government won't allow it. Microsoft would truly monopolize the computer, home, and several other industries. Same as saying Ford will buy out Chrysler and GM, it won't meet with approval from the government.

In the short term, your company is going to spend significant amount of money on new computers, software, and set-up. In the long-term, upgrade path is always more expensive on the PC side, especially if your company aggressively pursues new software frequently. They should look at what they...

Well total erasing is up to you. What have you tried ? Did you boot-up with an install CD and try repairing the HD? Have you booted in Verbose mode and ran FSCK- Y ? http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214

It sounds like the drive is formatted in Fat32.

Have you tried to set-up a unsecured network just to see if the Mac could connect? Also, I read some where, that for some networks, put a "$" in front of the password, although not sure in your case it may work, worth a try.

Not sure if this is a fix, perhaps you can to have Mail just download the headers and leave the body of messages on the server until you click the emails to read them. Perhaps, as you have stated, they may be large emails, and too much to initially download.

The Finder needs an overhaul. GUI vise, the interface needs to be consistent through out. Also, how you view folders, and their content needs to be more consistent. Preview view, I feel Windows does this better, needs work. Networking is another area, it is clumsy on the current Finder. I truly...

Go to Application->Utility->Disk Utility app, select the external drive on the right side, and then use the Erase tab to format the drive to Mac OS Extended. If you plan to use the drive only with you Mac.

I am hoping that the brush metal look goes away. I have to admit I am tired of it. It is kinda of dark and looking for a fresh new interface with Leopard.

Yea, thanks. I have to admit, I like the earth one the best. My little cousin wanted the assistants, he like the robot one.

I had that version as well, don't have it now. I thought there were more on the prior version. I wish they were available for download. Oh well...thanks

I have the student/teacher version of Office 2004. All the office assistant I have is the Max one. I checked on my install CD and no other assistant is available. Are the others part of the professional version? They appear not to be on the Office 2004 web site. Can I get the other assistants...

Thanks for the info. I found a place that replaces parts. Even though I am not shy taking my computer apart, I have never taken a PowerBook apart, and it looks very complicated. So I am going to have them do it. http://www.macservice.com/cases.cfm

I dropped my Power Book :eek: I need a bottom case because the corner is bent, and the top does not fit right. Can anyone recommend a repair place with replacement parts? I have checked some places on the net, although it is expensive, I am not ready to replace my Power Book yet. Has...

Mellel is wonderful, it renders text so well, and its features make sense. It is worth the money certainly. I enjoy using it, and it does not have the overhead compared to Word. If you want an alternative to PowerPoint. Keynote is, in my opinion better than PowerPoint, and not Microsoft product.

Apple does have a 90 day return policy. Few years back I returned an PB, and they gave me another one, no questions asked other than what was going on with the computer. If you think something is wrong with it, don't waste time, take it back.
