Dead arrow key

A while ago my down arrow key (G4 Al PowerBook, OS 10.5) stopped working and then one day after playing a game the down arrow key began working as it should and continues so today. Now my right arrow key has stopped working, tested my arrow keys in the keyboard viewer and there is no feedback on pressing the right (end) key. Is there a keyboard preference... more »

What do you like to use for Internet connection on the road?
|
| |
I need something for basic web surfing around the world. Wi fi is available far more widely than actual terminals. I am tempted by iPod Touch, but have concern about the screen size and soft keyboard. Notebooks seem too heavy. Not sure when or if Mac will come out with its netbook or tablet. Just wondering what you like to use for Internet on the road, when you... more »

|

I'm one who has become quite fond of Spaces, assigning my various applications to different spaces. I'm currently using a Kensington Slimblade Presenter mouse which has two buttons and a scroll wheel which also functions as a button. Pressing the button takes me into and out of the Spaces panel where I can select which of the sixteen spaces I wish to be active.... more »

Internal Optical Drive iMac Intel
|
| |
The optical drive on one of my iMacs has decided to go tits-up. Basically it does the following: 1 sometimes it declines to read a disc. If a disc is inserted into the drive, the drive will whirr a few times, then spit it out. If the disc is reinserted it will usually mount. Sometimes a disc might have to be reinserted two or... more »

Somehow, the hinge part of the lid of an aluminum G4 Power Book broke for a friend of mine, and he is looking to buyy the outer lid, or perhaps the whole display.
