    Advantages & Disadvantages of Partitioning

    I said use the Option [alt] button, because on my keyboard (pro) it has ALT in little letters at the top of the key, and im pretty sure its the same on the keyboard with my pre- pro keyboard imac that i never use. Also, on wintel keyboards, it is alt, and then there is the whole ctrl/command...

    Advantages & Disadvantages of Partitioning

    WRONG. Holding down OPTION [alt] at Startup WILL allow you to pick from a list of any Drives (partitions /cd/zip too maybe) that have a (compatible) operating system on them. It does however, sometimes take a few moments for the full list to be displayed.

    File Types

    This may seem silly to some of you, but does anyone know how to change a file types description in a finder window? for instance. i create web sites, and i use BBEdit. html files show up as HTML, or HTML Document, (seems to depend on the creator codes, if they have any). CSS (Cascading Style...

    Elegant way to have 2 internal CDs?

    Without cutting the metal frame that would normally hold the zip drive in, no you cant. the second bay is for a 3 1/2 inch drive. dvd/cd/cd-r etc are 5 1/4 inch drives. QP
