 Orig HD 500 GB HD packed up so I took the opportunity to replace it

 an hour or so is doing 5400 rpm. Stays there. Temp all the time is
 cool at 41°C. (smcFanControl says temp 0°C, 5400 rpm)
 
 Service said HD Fan overspeed is because 1T seagate is not an Apple HD
  I have to live with it. Bit of a tall one if you ask me.
 

It's quite likely that your new hard drive runs hotter, particularly if you've 
installed one with a faster RPM. I've seen this on several machines that I've 
upgraded.

 Cocoa® Programming for Mac® OS X, Third Edition

 do you recommend this book also for non-programmers (no experience in
 Application programming)? Or is this book more for people who knows
 programming, but are new to the Apple world?
 
 
 Frankly, I don't know, the people who recommended it to me were all 
 programmers,speaking to programmers.

FWIW, I have the second edition of Hillegrass. If you don't know any 
programming (specifically C), then you will find this book rather hard because 
it assumes some prior knowledge of C and the language constructs. If you want 
to go from a complete standstill, there are many, many C tutorials on the web, 
and a raft of books on the subject (I have 'Practical C++ Programming' 
published by O'Reilly, which takes you from a standing start). If you've never 
programmed before, be prepared for a steep (but exciting) learning curve.

 Apple has a lot of stuff in their Developer web site:

If you sign up as a developer (just need to fill in a web-form), you can get 
access to the video tutorials from WWDC through iTunesU. There are some pretty 
decent introductory tutorials there.

 Keep in mind that you should only get a 120GB hard drive as this  
 Mac cannot see past the first 8GB of a drive.
 
 
 Not true, the OS needs to be installed on the first 8gb, but it can  
 see everything after that too, if you have it partioned as a  
 seperate drive (I know this because mine runs OSX on a 40gb drive,  
 first 8 have the OS, last 32 have the data half (Music and Video)
 Hope that helps

 Blargh, my keyboard must have got disconnected (I should change the  
 batteries) I meant to say 128GB, not just 8. And yes the first, tray  
 loading iMacs have this 8GB system limit, but im not sure about the  
 slot load.


IIRC, the slot-loaders don't have this restriction. Don't forget that there's 
also a Firmware update that must be applied before you run the OS X installer, 
otherwise you risk toasting your toy.

 You have to have an 8GB partition in OSX so that none of  
 the system files go outside, and the partition must be at the  
 beginning of the drive. You should also do this partitioning for OS9  
 as it can become unbootable too...

 It wasn't a normal panic. Not the dark box with 'you need to restart your

 It was similar to the text when you start up in verbose mode.
 

If you started up in verbose mode, I think that you get a similarly
verbose kernel panic message.
