I have a 17 G4 PowerBook which I don't require anymore, but I think the hard disk is flawed as Leopard won't install. The whole top half (as in the monitor) was replaced under warranty in Nov 06. Since Leopard won't install I can't access About This Mac, but I'm pretty sure I beefed it up with

Anyone know of a store with an Optus iPhone in stock ?

I just rang three phone shops and none have iPhones in stock, just this rain-check arrangement. Trouble is with a rain-check no guarantee of when phone will arrive, and I'm heading overseas in a week - need before then. Anyone know of a shop selling Optus plans (so I can buy unlocked) with 16Gb

For those that are keeping right on top of the iPhone plans, could I trouble someone to confirm that Optus are currently the only telco with an unlocked version of the iPhone on offer? That's the last I heard. Basically all I need is an unlocked handset, as it will be for use on Etislat

I bought a Time Capsule in Dubai recently. Back in Perth for now, and amongst the Time Capsule settings, there is one which asks you to select a country. Presumably because I bought the TC in the UAE, Australia is not an option. Does this matter in the slightest? Can it be changed? Cheers,

Bringing forward Time Machine start time ?

Having just upgraded to Leopard and bought a Time Capsule, regarding Time Machine is there a way of forcing Time Machine to bring the 'Next Backup' time to now, rather than in an hour's time? Other than disconnecting and reconnecting it. This initial back up is frustrating. There is 130Gb to back
