If you've got extra memory in your iBook yank it out and see if the problem goes away. It may be a bad memory chip.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
My iBook is, when I turn it on, either 1) Making the start up sound, going to grey, then to black, or 2) sing a pretty note and flash its light at me while coming up grey and then going black.
The first place I always check is MacFixit.com. Lots of good stuff.
A few good LJ resources to check are:
The LJ OS X community: [link]
The LJ Macintosh community: [link]
The LJ iBook community: [link]
There's a lot of crossposting between those LJ communities, but there's still a lot of helpful info. Out of the three, the OS X community might be your best bet.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just got an e-mail from the Domain Update Center kvetching (TITLE 15, Sec 1125. False descriptions, and dilution of Trademarks and the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP)) about a domain I don't own (ovalworks.us -- I have ovalworks.com).
Googling has made it clear it's a scam to encourage me to buy the .us variant, but I thought I'd give a heads up here.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I went vicariously computer shopping with a friend last night. She ended up with an Averatec (sp?). It was, by all appearances, ridiculously good for the price she paid. Has anyone heard of them or ever had one?

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
That one was very much like hers, but she has an 80 GB hard drive and a DVD-RW. Still under a grand, and very small.
Jealous now.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
help!
My boss has typed an e-mail in Microsoft Entourage, with the HTML turned on. It has different font sizes and bold and such.
She would like me to e-mail this to about 2000 people, whioch I have either in an excel spreadsheet or in Filemaker Pro.
In Filemaker Pro, I have yet to figure out how to format an email, so I ccut and pasted her email into word, and then did a merge to email.
However, when this goes to her computer or my computer, all the formatting is lost, and the email doesn't even appear in our default HTML font, but in, I think the fixed width font (it appear like old-time pine email.
What can I do to send this out correctly? Is there a way to merge excel with entourage?

Also, I do know it depend on the person's email prgram how it looks, but I at least want it to appear to my boss and me like it should!
