    Air shipping options for G4 system?

    So I'm moving to Japan and need to take my computer with me. I need to figure out a good way to pack my G4 tower, 15" LCD, keyboard, and maybe my 35mm neg scanner (small) into as small and light a package as possible and still have everything be safe. This is, of course, asking a lot but...

    So my keyboard is grumpy

    For whatever reason, I cannot get my computer to let me do certain keyboard shortcuts, and more notably, things like accent marks. Formerly, option+U gave me an umlaut. Now it just gives me the letter U. Same goes for other accent marks and international characters. I didn't change anything...

    Picky optical drive....but why?

    Ok, this one has me puzzled. I needed to pull some scans off of about 8 different CDs and quickly found that my G4 would only recognize some of them. Others, it tries to read it, thinks about it for about 30 seconds, and then spits it out. I consistently spits out the same discs and reads...

    10.2.2 and DVD Player errors - any standard fixes?
