I have an external HD that I use for backups. I process digital photos, maybe 200 a month maximum, write and receive emails daily, surf the web, use iTunes, basic stuff like that, not a gamer. I want more screen real estate. I don't like the new 24 inch iMac and I've looked at it three times in the Apple Store. As a workaround to a glossy screen iMac, I've configured this possible order after researching my options on apple.com, reviews on macworld.com, and bugging a mac-using friend whose advice is get the glossy iMac and get used to it. Specifications: Mac Mini * 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo * 2GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM - 2x1GB * 160GB Serial ATA drive * SuperDrive 8x (DVD?R DL/DVD?RW/CD-RW) * Apple Keyboard & Mighty Mouse * Apple Cinema HD Display (23" flat panel) * Mac OS X - U.S. English * AppleCare Protection Plan for Mac mini (w/or w/o Display) - Auto-enroll * Accessory kit Am I really losing something important with the Mac mini/cinema display that I'd have with the iMac? Thanks for looking. Konrad.

From recent readings to compare the latest Mini with the latest iMac, I understand the Mini performance specs are not as high as the iMac due to a few internal design compromises. I believe it uses its main memory instead of memory in the video card to drive the display. There are a couple other observations being made. Check this out at the Macworld web site where they have completed recent reviews on both machines. These reviews showed up in the magazine, so I expect them to be online by now.

The limiting factor isn't the version of OS X that you have, it is your Mac's ROM's. Older Mac's ROM's only support 32-bit LBA (Logical Block Addressing), and support of greater than 128 GB for internal hard drives requires 48-bit LBA and OS X 10.2 or later. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86178 http://www.lowendmac.com/macdan/05/1024.html Mirrored drive doors G4's and later (and 2002 QuickSilvers too) can do 48-bit logical block addressing. Earlier Macs cannot. There are three ways you can access the full capacity of an internal drive over 128GB if your model of Mac doesn't natively support 48-bit LBA. 1)You can use a third-party (non-Apple) software driver or 2)You can install a PCI card to give you a 48-bit internal IDE bus (on tower Mac models that can use PCI cards) or 3)You could put your drive into a FireWire hard drive case kit (assuming that the kit uses a recent FireWire to IDE bridge chip.) Note that partitioning your hard drive will _not_ allow you to access more than a total of 128GB. Intech's ATA Hi-Cap Support Driver software ($25) allows the use of extended capacity ATA drives (drives greater than 128 Gigabytes in size) on older (Pre-Mirrored Door) G4 and some G3 Macintoshes running MacOS X versions 10.2 and later. http://www.speedtools.com/ATA6.shtml OWC includes the ATA Hi-Cap Support Driver for only $15 if you purchase a drive from them: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Intech%20USA/SPEEDHCCD/ Some Mac-compatible UATA/100 PCI cards can support 48-bit LBA, and, to my knowledge, *all* Mac-compatible UATA/133 PCI cards support this feature as well. Sonnet's Tempo UATA/100 supports 48-bit LBA. SIIG has a Mac compatible ATA/133 PCI card available for $68 with free shipping from Buy.com if you want to upgrade to be able to access your drive's extra capacity. (This is the best deal on a Mac-compatible UATA/133 card that I've seen.) The SIIG card supports 48-bit LBA. ___________________________________________ Randy B.

But few said it would make us safer right away, and those who suggested otherwise were foolish for doing so. But why anybody should be shocked or outraged that terrorists are striking back even as they lose the war is beyond me. The only shock and outrage should be over their willingness to murder innocent civilians indiscriminately. And, perhaps, a little shock and outrage is called for in response to those who think such terrorism is justified at all." -Jonah Goldberg From randy at macattorney.com Sun Oct 28 18:14:57 2007 From: randy at macattorney.com (Randy B.

Disk Warrior may be an exception, with some caveats (only run it while booted from the Disk Warrior CD): http://dwleopard.notlong.com For now, I'd try to stick to using Disk Utility to repair permissions and repair your disk. It's from Apple and it comes with Leopard, so at the minimum it shouldn't harm anything. Some folks are reporting that repairing permissions under Leopard using Disk Utility can take between 5 minutes to over an hour. http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=4401956 Also, when repairing permissions "ARDAgent" is typically coming up as a permissions problem.

Since upgrading to Leopard I decided to give Mail a shot since people I trust have raved about it...previously used Eudora and Thunderbird. With those programs I was able to check my mail on my laptop and leave messages on the server until I got home to my main machine. The key, though, was the ability to delete unwanted messages right then so when I got home those messages were no longer on the server. I have played with the different settings in Mail..specifically in Advanced I have checked to remove messages from server when removed from my inbox. I delete messages and then go to retrieve new messages hoping it would removed those marked for deletion. The only time I am able to completely remove mail is be clicking on remove now...but it removes all messages. Is this even possible to do in Mail?

When you delete messages from you inbox in Mail the messages are not actually deleted. They are moved to the Trash mailbox. Perhaps erasing the deleted messages will also remove them from the server? I'm just guessing so let me know if you try.
