My fix for this is rather odd, but it worked for me: Get an OS 8 or 9 CD and boot to it by holding the C key at startup, and so on... Reboot when you get there, and let it boot to OS X. That should work. -Dustin -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and... Small Dog Electronics

Hi guys. Let me add some info here. When a drive is formatted, all the contents of the drive are still there. When you select the ZERO all data option, this effectively makes the formatter erase all the data on the hard drive, as opposed to just formatting it. It's all a bit technical, but in

I have a Pismo, but I was wondering with all this talk about using bluetooth to sync your cellphone with your Powerbook--can you just use a USB cable instead? I want to purchase the Sony Ericsson T68i cellphone and use it with iSync when it becomes released officially. But I just don't want to

Yes. It should be significantly faster. I've experienced this on a G4 Cube (going from 128 to 640), an iBook (from 128 to 384) and a Pismo (from 192 to 640). You'll see far fewer spinning beachballs. On Monday, November 18, 2002, at 11:08 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, I'm running
