iMac G4 eyeball speakers
I was recently given a 17 G4 iMac. It's a cute little machine, but didn't come with any speakers. I'm see that speakers abound on eBay, but I'm noticing some of them seem to have clear plastic grills with 3 large holes over the front of the speaker. Now I'm curious. Was this how they were manufactured and most speakers have had them break or lost over the years or was this an aftermarket option?

Mac Mini Problem
Greetings all. I posted this to the Mac Mini and the Intel Mac groups, but no response, so I am posting it here in hopes that someone can advise me. The basics: Mac Mini, 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM. The problem: I cannot make the trash empty. I have tried everything under the sun, as far as I know, trying to get the trash to empty. Unlocked any folders/files, re-booted numerous times (both regular and Safe Boot), ran Disk Utilities (fixed permissions), and still no success. I keep getting the pop-up asking to remove unlocked files and/or all files, which neither brings a smile to my face. It seems to start emptying, but then quits within a few seconds. Oh mighty Gurus, I beg you for a fix for this problem. I like to keep a lean, clean machine, and this problem is stepping on my reputation as a delete-happy IT manager in my home. Any suggestions/help/advice/questions would be most welcome please. Thank you.

Unlocked any folders/files, re-booted numerous times (both regular and Safe Boot), ran Disk Utilities (fixed permissions), and still no success. two things to try: 1: GUI way: hold down the option key while selecting 'Empty Trash'to force emptying the trash in the Finder, 2: Geeky way: start up a terminal window and enter rm -rf ~/.Trash/* EXACTLY. rm -rf is like nitroglycerin…useful for cracking safes, but you can also occasionally blow yourself to kingdom come; or in the case of rm -rf delete everything in your user directory or on the entire disk. True story: one of my co-workers once typed ( as root, on a production unix systme, iirc it was an old SGI box) rm -rf / where he meant to type rm -rf ./ Subtle, but the difference between deleting the current directory's contents and deleting the file system. This was in the ye olde days of slow disks and slow systems, he was actually able to stop the command without nuking the user directories. The OS was hosed, but he managed to manually rebuild it to the point where he could sucessfully reboot the system and restore the whole thing. 3: when nothing else will work (I've had to do this for one user several times on her Macbook; we've never been able to figure how her Trash keeps getting wedged like this) you can remove the trash directory entirely, and recreate it. http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/trash.html#Anchor-Empty-49575 http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20061216221914302 http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10410978-263.html -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Thanks Bruce. Now I've got to go find a cheap pair of them somewhere...

Once upon a time there were only G3 iMacs, and that's when this group began. With the new forum system, I've set up separate groups for PowerPC (G3, G4, and G5) iMacs (and eMacs) and Intel iMacs.

You're the first group to try out the new system. The ppc page takes about 45 secs to load (Safari, Leopard, QuickSilver, with a 15/5 fiber connection). The right hand column - mostly ads, keeps flashing then redrawing, making the whole page distractingly unreadable. Looks like this is site-wide? I hit the Login link and was quickly taken to a login page. My old LEM login doesn't work, so I hit the register link. Took me a while to realize that there is a field next to the captcha graphic -- it has no outline, so it's basically invisible. And no matter what I do, the captcha fails. Now, I'm really confused as to the whole point of this. Are you saying you're removing us from Google Groups? You're maintaining the bazillion group split?
