yes. I saw something like that.

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!
Oh sorry, I should have said my work 'puter is a PC running XP....
I wash my hands of you... :-)
Is there a mouse finder option in the mouse control panel in 'Pointer Options'?
Ooh. Yes, yes there is!
Barb, did you try reinstalling Word? Sometimes you just need to do that.
signed,
reinstalled goddamn Quark XPress yesterday
I was wondering if that was what I'd have to do, Tep. It just did it again. I managed to capture an image of what it does.
I'm shopping for a new DVD duplicator for my office. Anyone have an opinion about Aleratec vs Microboards?
So, I'm trying to load Snow Leopard onto my MacMini. It already has Leopard. I popped in the DVD, clicked the install icon, sat around for a few minutes, and then walked away when the screen message said there was 45 minutes to go. I come back an hour or so later and the screen is blank, as though it's turned off. Wiggling the mouse and hitting the space bar didn't help (though I should mention they're both bluetooth wireless).
After 10-15 minutes of staring at a blank screen I decided to un-plug and re-plug in the Mac to see what would happen. I hit the start button in the back, the screen turned on, the rotating circular graphic thingie did its rotating for a little while... and then the screen went blank again. And that's where it's been ever since.
Any suggestions? Should I try to reboot without the DVD inside? If so, how do I get the DVD out? I don't see anything I can stick a paperclip into.
can you reboot from an external drive then eject the CD?
BTW, Snow Leopard took more than an hour to install for me. The longest was my primary laptop that has the most software and most used space.
