In response to ElDiabloConCaca: If I wanted to run Windows software and Mac OS X software, it would be more convenient for me to have a dual boot system rather than having two different machines. I didnt think it took a rocket scientist to make that logical jump. But I guess some people...

Sometimes I am amazed at strange questions. I never thought it would be necessary to think of a way to use a monitor upside down. This question belongs in some type of Ripley's museum

In the end, who really cares about whether Mac OS X will be able to run on a PC? The only advantage would be convenience and accessibility to more software. From a standpoint of selling computers, I bought a Mac because of style and included hardware, workmanship, and design. Unless I...

Thanks for the help. I think your advice is the best course of action. I will go ahead and re-install. Now its just a matter of finding the time. Hopefully it wont take too long.

It seems that I have been tinkering too much with my new toy (PB G4, 1.5 GHz, 12-inch that came with Tiger installed). This question is the last resort before I go ahead and re-install the system to fix the mess. Symptoms: 1. at log in or whenever the system asks for password (i.e...
