I knew you guys would have the answer at hand.
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Is there any good way of getting 1 GB of stuff to another person? CDs don't hold that much, right? I realize I could make two CDs, just wondering if I'm missing something.

Burn a DVD if you've got the hardware. Or a 1 GB jump drive.

DVD would really be the best. 4 gigs would fit

Ooh, I think I do have a DVD burner, I just never think about it. Right on, thanks.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Gah. The monitor (actually, a flatscreen TV) attached to my Mac Mini died. Is there a way to safely shut the Mini down? (keystrokes? hold the power button?)
You might think I could ssh or telnet in, but it looks like I never set it up to allow that.
Also, my iPod Nano is attached.

Hey. New board.
I think holding the power button down will probably work. Works with my iBook. Mac OS X has a journaled FS these days, so even an "unsafe" shutdown is unlikely to do much harm, if any.

Control-eject followed by return should shut it off safely.

I can get that key combo to shut down my iBook, but the Mini remains stubbornly unshutdown.
eta: I have found:
Shutdown immediately (no confirmation) Cmd-Opt-Ctrl-Eject
which sounds like it's working (i.e. it made the disk drive make noise).

Hey. New board.
Again, working just from my iBook, I also sometimes just hit the power button, wait a second, and then hit return. The power button should bring up the "restart, sleep, cancel, shut down" dialog with "shut down" highlighted, and then return actually shuts down.
