    Looking for a new internal hard drive...

    Thanks to everyone for the replies. I had heard there was an Hitachi hard drive running at 15000 rpm. Is this true? Just thought a faster speed might help with Adobe apps.

    The POP server "mail" is not responding!!!

    Hi VirtualTracey, My son entered the question for me as I'm a dinosaur and really don't 'get it' yet. Up until about a year ago, I was instructed to type in 'mail by the isp for both the incoming and outgoing server. Now they want the longer 'address' but I couldn't remember it and assumed...

    Thanks to you both. I'm pretty literal so I used the two suggestions as you've both typed in and made the obvious changes. VirtualTracys suggestion was what my isp was looking for. But I do thank you both for being so helpful and so prompt in helping out. THANX!!

    Yeah, thanks!! I actually think my trusty old PowerBook is on its last legs. I reformatted the hard drive and have re-installed most things. Periodically it doesn't start up when you turn it on and the little ball spins on forever until you shut it down and reboot. Normally it restarts on the...

    Oh no! Disk Error?!

    Oh no... I think my 6 year old powerbook is dead! When I turn it on I see the usual grey loading screen with the apple logo watermark. But then nothing happens, and after about a minute the screen goes black and in the top left hand corner it reads "Disk Error". Has anyone ever encountered...
