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.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
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.
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.
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).
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.
My Mac G4 laptop wuth OS 10.4.3 seems to be sick. For the couple of days, it's been freezing at odd times. Today it's gotten worse, and added shutting down unexpectedly, and when I put into into sleep mode, I can't wake it up without shutting down, and then when I try to turn it back on, it does this squealing thing before turning on. Is there anything I can do to try to make it better, or should I just run it into the shop?
