Amber: I went to iBookparts.com, and they have only the keyboards for sale. You might have to go all the way for a new keyboard...but I see these on eBay with some frequency. Clamshell? Donald On Sunday, December 15, 2002, at 08:35 PM, Amber Rhea wrote: > A few weeks ago when I was popping all th

Re: OT: OS X software update

Donald, As far as I know of, as long as you have it previously installed, it will ask you every time to update it, should you have an older version. I found myself asking the same question when I was running Aqua. My solution was found when I installed 10.2.2. I simply unchecked the foreig

OK. I can't take it anymore.

I sit in front of my computer in shock today. This email list has to have the worst signal to noise level in the universe, and I have been on some doozies. After nearly three weeks on this list, this is what I have learned: Apple 'certified' tech's are the lowest form of computer literate.
