I''m running Snow Leopard (10.6.1) and would like to replace that purplish space theme login screen with something more to my liking. Prior to Snow Leopard I was using an applet called Loginox which did exactly what I wanted, allowing me to switch between the default login screen and one of my choosing. Unfort... 15 Sep 2009 11:15

itunes upgrade question
When I went to iTunes 8, it modified my playlist so that I could not share it with my beige g3 itunes, limited to version 6 under Jaguar, thus creating an annoyance I still dislike.

Mozy for Mac is junk - try CrashPlan and Drobo
I dumped it and demanded a refund. I REALLY wanted to like it, but it just never worked. Took me 6 weeks to do a full backup, and it lost my backup and forced me to restart from scratch 4 times in less than a year.
