Hard disk question

I have an Intel Mac Pro with 3 hard drives. One is for the OS, one is for storage of files and the third is only used as a 'scratch' disk for Photoshop, etc. When I double click this 3rd disk, it shows 0 contents, but when I look at this 3rd disk with Disk Utility or Get Info, it says,

Love/hate for me. They track beautifully, the small size of the ball gives superb range and control of speed. However, they do cost and they die young. I happily use them at work, nice clean environment, but they cant cut it here with hairy dogs around and grubby gardener types clutching at them,

I have used iMovie06 for quite some time. When iMovie 08 arrived I was horrified !!! Recently I decided to give it another go thinking I should move forward like I always have. After a few days of trying very hard to cope with it and doing my best to be optimistic I have come to realise

Hi Reg, With the extra 4GB of RAM that is still cheaper than I paid for the previous 2.8GHz model with 2GB of RAM. No Ed discount of course. If you can afford the 750GB drive then grab it but believe me the 500GB is huge! The FW800 port gives excellent opportunity for adding secondary storage

Hi fellow WAMUG members The renewed comments on the positives and negatives of the Mighty Mouse, have drawn me to add my two bob's worth. Just before Christmas I bought my current iMac, and had the wireless keyboard and wireless Mighty Mouse bundled with it. Having never used wireless

If battery life is your main issue then perhaps you should consider getting some batteries from Jaycar in northbridge. I've always found the batteries there to be far more powerful (at a good price too) than the ones you get from anywhere else. You can get NiMH AA batteries that hold

I was pretty ambivalent on the Mighty Mouse until I bought my Intel iMac, which came with one. Until then, I had only really used them sporadically on clients' machines, and formed the impression that they worked far better in the right hand than the left. Since I've been using a Mighty

Batteries (was: Re: Mighty Mouse)

Yes, I agree with Ruben, I wouldn't let battery life be the reason to stop using the Mighty Mouse. Our Mighty Mouse with the right batteries in it lasts for far longer between charges than our previous wireless mouse which had a built-in rechargeable battery. I use Energizer 2500mAh
