Looks like essentially all the pre-Macworld rumours are true--a sub-$500 iMac, a flash iPod, and new productivity app bundle called iWorks: http://news.com.com/2100-7354_3-5532008.html | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be January 25. The LCS Web page is

Not long ago, a little American flag mysteriously appeared on my window menu, between my email symbol and the numbers showing the time of day. I am running a G5 with system 10.3.1. This flag most certainly was not in my finder window when I first installed system 10.3.1. When I click on

That, the mini-Mac, is going to be a real winner. Wish I'd bought some options again ... about 5 months ago. The Apple site is slammed and I wouldn't be surprised to see it be quite busy for a while. Let's hope there's no serious design or QA flaw discovered by the target market in the next few

Yeah, the iMac mini is gonna be a hit I think. And one of the guys here at work who only owns PC's (because he's a big gamer and most hot games are PC only) has told me he's gonna buy the little tiny iPod. He doesn't need a bigger one, and he uses the PC version of iTunes already. Apple's got a

One of the updates may have installed that, I think you can turn it off in the International Preference Pane. rob Bernard Griffis wrote: Neal Hammon wrote: Not long ago, a little American flag mysteriously appeared on my window menu, between my email symbol and the numbers showing the

It's the one that appears when you have more than one keyboard layout enabled. I'm not particularly sure how you'd have gotten more than one layout enabled, but you can get rid of it by going into System Preferences: International and unchecking everything but U.S. under the Input Menu tab.

Thanks for the information. The only problem is that the flag looks so good in the menu, that I may just keep it. Neal Hammon B.Eric Bradley wrote: It's the one that appears when you have more than one keyboard layout enabled. I'm not particularly sure how you'd have gotten more than one

It is part of the international set-up. If you click on international etc, on that little pulldown menulet, you can find all the different flags for different languages. If you click on a particular one, it then changes the keyboard setting for that language. It is also useful when needing

I agree, the mini-Mac is awesome sounding. Questions that probably no one has answers to yet: 1) Can you use any monitor, or do you have to buy an Apple display? 2) Will it include an Airport card? (I'm guessing not) 3) What is Apple's usual timeframe for being able to upgrade the operating

Addendum : there seem to be some of you who don't have the character palette up there in the pulldown menu bar with the flag. You should go to Systems pref click on international then on input menu and check which of these things you want , and don't forget to mark show input menu in menu bar
