    Hello all, Since I have a PB and I am always concerned with processor load and its not so nice side effects (heat/ battery drain), I decided to post this to see if anyone else has the same issue. Whenever I update the podcasts I have subscribed to, iTunes tends to run the processor at 100%...

    PC's too expensive, Intel copying

    Well, isn't this somethin' http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,67664,00.html?tw=rss.TEK Seems copying the Mac mini isn't only hard to do, but also more expensive. Apple really did a nice job with the mini Mac in making it the least expensive machine out there.

    Word 2004 eating processor

    Control clicking restarts Finder

    I don't know when or how this developed, but whenever I bring up the contextual menu in the finder (OSX vers 10.3.5), the finder seems to restart (like it crash-quits and relaunches). What are the files associated with the contextual menu and can those files be reinstalled? This behavior...

    Mac Virii (or Viruses, if you prefer)...

    There has been a lot of talk about viruses in a bunch of threads. Other threads and sources say that Windows has over 50,000 of them. Luckily, we Mac users have only ever been plagued with 300 (mostly old OS 9 ones, too). For the fun of it, let's see if we can name them all... One...
