  • Thanks to both above. Others with first hand experience? As a back-up plan, any thoughts on where to get inexpensive old copies of 10.4?

  • Thanks for the suggestions. I've got the extension cord in place... After I posted, I had another idea. If I could come up with a broken power adaptor in which the "brick"/transformer portion of the adaptor is broken, do you think it would be …
  • JBL, Excellent. Thank you for pointing out that option. Submenus, submenus, submenus... It works perfectly now.
  • I'm not totally sure, but I think Quicktime Pro will do this.
  • I have searched for the last couple of days for an answer to this question, and I still can't come up with anything. Anyone... anyone...

  • I have a somewhat related question: I have a 12" AlBook and an XP Toshiba laptop. I want to exchange files between the two directly without connecting to a LAN (I have done this before using SMB on a LAN and had the PC users in the lab in awe). …

  • A funny/scary aside: Apparently, the theft of my wife's computer led to a bit of a review of the security policy in the library at her school over the last couple of days. One of the interesting discoveries: homeless people were living in some …
  • Quote: Originally posted by ast3r3x sorry to sound like an ass, but if i had a laptop you better believe it wouldn't be out of my sight for more then 2seconds so if somone is within 30ft of it i pull the pen out of my pocket and go for the jugula…
  • I found some references to the O'Grady Powerbook registration page, but they point to dead links. It doesn't seem there anymore, unfortunately. It would seem that laptops would be pretty traceable if such a database existed. I noticed some iBoo…
  • I checked eBay and there are numerous iBooks, but no new postings today. I'll keep checking and see if something fishy pops up. I knows it's unlikely, but I'm in the mood for some vigilante justice. Apple is going to reimburse us for the rem…
  • Ugh. That is what I was trying to avoid. Maybe a miracle will occur in the next couple of days before I go through all of that. Thanks.
  • Thanks for info Amorph and Agent Cooper. I guess I really didn't know what to expect with QE, but it's good to know that I wouldn't be missing out on all that much (at least with my iBook). [ 07-29-2002: Message edited by: chuckster ]
