data transfer PC -> Mac (sort of)
I've got a newish (still Tiger) MacBook Pro and an antiquated old Frankenstein of a PC that I put together in high school with spare parts. I have gigs upon gigs of data (music, mostly) on my PC that I'd like to keep, but I want to get rid of the damn thing. I don't suddenly hate PCs now that I have a Mac; the thin... 6 May 2008 22:23

Mac mini not booting
Thanks. Update: it's a wired USB keyboard. I found the Apple specs which say that any USB keyboard should work. It was running through a USB hub, so I tried plugging it directly and that did not work either. It's a Win/Mac Logitech keyboard, so the keys are actually labelled for both. (In general, you use the keys ... 7 May 2008 11:47

Ebay Searching software
Getting a good deal on Ebay (and probably other auction sites as well) is a 2 part endeavor. First you need to filter out all the higher priced items as much as possible, then you need to bid without anyone else knowing your intentions (sniping or live if its convenient for you).
