I was in the process of building a PowerMac G5 (1x1.6GHz) at work, and SoftwareUpdate came up with the G5 uniprocessor firmware update (5.1.5f2, if memory serves), and I cheerfully let it pull it down and run. The process is to let the installer shut down the machine, and then power it back up...

So, I'm the proud owner of a dual 2.5 G5 tower, which I want to upgrade the memory in. I got these two 1GB sticks that no matter how many times I'd reseat them, MacOSX would never see the extra 2GB of memory. It does see the existing 1.5GB worth of DIMMS correctly, and shows the slots with the...

Just got the email notification from the Apple store - my iPod has shipped. If you ordered one... check your email (or Apple store status)... :D
