Re: hdiutil help
Hello: First you must tell us your configuration. I suppose you are writing a script with Applescript. And you are using a virtual environment. Is that correct? I am retired and I had some time helping you. Here is a link to convert a zip file to an ISO file readable by mac. I found it using google.com. I had to register to brainsurface.com to take a look at the article. http://www.brainsurface.com/how-to-convert-downloaded-zip-files-into-iso-files-for-use-as-virtual-cddvd-roms Break a leg!!

Re: Good external hard drive?
Hello: your name "haas" means hare in Dutch. "Mijn naam is haas" means "I do not know" Do not buy an external drive in a plastic case! I tripped over the wire and broke the connection. Stupid grandpa!! Now it is useless! My advice: buy a loose 2,5 or 3,5 inch hard drive 500 Gb to start with. Buy an enclosure to put the hard drive in. *When you want to upgrade you can buy a hard drive with more capacity. And you have the option to keep or sell your old hard disk.* But you can reuse your enclosure!! Western Digital Caviar is OK. Try a website that compare hard disks. In the Netherlands we have vergelijk.nl (translation "compare".nl) Good luck. === On Wed, Oct 26, 2011 at 6:15 AM, wrote: > > > Anyone care to make recommendations for an external hard drive? 500GB > > to 700GB's, is cost any indication of quality?Need only for back up, > > speed is not a factor, nor is Firewire important.

Re: My computer has a strange smell
Hello: Is the fan running? I got a smell too years ago! I have a Quicksilver 2000 (OEM) with a clock rate of 1 Ghz from an American friend in the Netherlands. I let a University use my computer while I was sleeping and I was using a defragmenting program. The university did a lot of calculations and my microprocessor's temperature went over 50 degrees Celsius. I got a warning from the defragmenter which stopped!!! Use a program to check if your processor is getting too hot! A smell is some warning! Give your computer a rest! My computer was constantly online for 8 years till that University incident On Tue, Oct 18, 2011 at 2:08 AM, wrote: > > > You guys will think I'm nuts but here goes.
