I have a new Mac edit station at work, and I'd like for the tower to be farther away from the monitor than the included monitor cable currently allows. Does Apple sell extension monitor cables? I can't find any on the Apple site, but maybe I'm just not looking in the right place...
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

It's not hard to find DVI extension cables.

So I'm better off buying separate DVI, USB, and Firewire extension cables than trying to do all three at once? Off to Staples!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Is there anything I can do about my domain being used to send spam? My provider says that it appears it's just my addresses being spoofed, and thus, there's nothing they can do. I was concerned I was being used in some way as a junk remailer, but if they're just spoofing my addresses, there's nothing I can do, right? It's very frustrating, knowing I'm contributing to the problem, somehow, and having my nonprofit's name go out attached to some very problematic spam. Eventually, spam filters will block my domain, right? Plus, it's filling my mail folders with undeliverable notices to where I can't distinguish between it and valid mail.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I need a new laptop case for my 13" MacBook. Am thinking of getting a backpack (one specifically designed for a laptop). Any recommendations?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I'd check to make sure the shares aren't already there. If you post your "/etc/fstab" file, I can tell you if a windows partition is being mounted automatically.
I suspect what happened was that during the install it labeled the linux partition as the bootable drive and for whatever reason stripped the windows partition of that label. And the reason the ubuntu install crashed was because it ran out of room. I just need to do some research, I think, to try and re-identify the windows partition as bootable.
If I didn't have so much data I needed to keep, I would just wipe the thing and be done with it.

I have a Brenthaven backpack for the 17" Powerbook that I love. They aren't cheap, but they are extremely well made. I've had mine for almost 4 years and it is in constant use and it is in near perfect shape.

If you have a Windows XP disc, you can probably fix it by going to the recovery console and running "fixmbr".
