Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Is there a mouse finder option in the mouse control panel in 'Pointer Options'?

“Not dead yet!”
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?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
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.

Jon, does your keyboard have a key with the "eject" symbol on it? If so, try holding that key down when you restart.
