    Booting off a Secondary Harddrive

    To clone that drive, you probably want to use 'Super duper', since the cloning portion is free. Although.. it does sooo many other things, it's actually worth the price. Super Duper

    iPhone 6pm June 29th Plans?

    I don't know if there will be that much of an 'ebay' problem. I do expect some, but since you have to sign up for the 2 yr agreement (we think) that might deter some of the Ebayers.

    My Mac Keeps on Freezing

    Seems like you've have a mix of good/bad service. Even if the squealing can only be heard sporadically, the right speaker is still broken, so at the very least, they should take care of that. You did get it back in 4 hrs, so perhaps they rushed through..... maybe next time tell them to take...

    Apple Certification

    Also, I believe I have heard that even with the Apple Certified Technician, you have to be working for an 'authorized apple service center' to deal with Apple Care and other things like that.

    Is this legal?

    If it's too good to be true... it is. Short of Academic & Government pricing, I don't know of any legal huge 'discounts' that are significant. Try over http://www.academicsuperstore.com/ they have legit software, and the rules to qualify are loose if you have anyone in an education institution.

    Be sure when you add contacts in Address Book, you add their birthdays. Then, in iCal, go to Preferences, and enable 'Show Birthdays Calendar', and it will add all of the birthdays listed in your Address Book to your iCal.

    Very slow intel imac - help if possible!!

    Absolutely.. upgrading will make the mac run very fast. I have 1.5GB in mine, and the 512MB was a bare minimum... I was astonished how much adding the extra GB did. Especially running the rosetta emulation, it makes things much more tolerable.

    Binary Newsgroup Downloader for Mac OS X

    Downloading Movies, Music, Programs.. etc.. is probably illegal. I am sure you are only downloading public domain stuff.. right? Personally I could care less about Movies and Music... but don't take from the software developers. If the Mac developers can't make a living.. well, then using a...

    MacBook is slow!

    Is this your first Mac? Do you have a benchmark on what to expect? When I got the Intel based iMac, I thought my iBook 933mhz was snappier... However, when I bumped up the ram another gigabyte, it was like a new machine. 512MB will get you by, without alot of multitasking -- but another...

    IMac G4 and PC Laptop Networking

    You can share the interent by using your Mac, but you really should spend another $30-40 and get a wireless router. This is critical for running a Windows XP machine on a high speed connection, you need the hard firewall to help prevent worms and such. This router acts as a firewall and also...

    got no boots

    Here are a couple things to try, First - Try holding down the OPTION key after you power up, and hold it down until it prompts you with a list of OSes it can find available for booting. Then if it lets you select OS X, boot into it and see if everything is in tact. As a separate method...
