David, you will find them by opening the hdd icon on the desktop, for one.

Belated thanks, Dan.

New question: We used to have an iMac G4 (aka, iLamp). It came with these speakers which have a "mini-jack" that went into the G4.

But now I've got a MiniMac which does not have a mini-jack input, but one that's 2.5mm (according to the Apple Store I went to today to get an adapter). They didn't have one and sent me to RadioShack. They didn't have one either.

So now I figure I should just order it online, but I'm not sure exactly what size the mini-jack plug is on the Harmon Kardon speakers to go into the Mini-Mac. Apple Store seemed to think it might be 1.5mm, but I'd rather know exactly while ordering.

Googling on "1.5mm to 2.5mm isn't helping me much so I figured y'all might have a clue.

All is well that ends in pizza.

this suggests that the iMac G4 has a special jack, that was powered and DIGITAL.

Perhaps the speakers need more than just a jack...

Our wings are not tired

That is correct. Those speakers were an oddball experiment on Apple's part and as far as I know they will only work that specific model of Mac.

Question about AT&T cell charges for Text/Instant Messaging. If I don't use the $20/month unlimited option, it's $0.20 per message. Is the $0.20 charged for both messages sent AND received, or just messages sent?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Generally both.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Each message, as I've always understood plans, yes. Doesn't matter which direction the messages go.

What Cass said.

Oh, and it is bullshit.

And highway robbery.

Other question--if I get a new iPhone, but don't want to change anything about my plan, can I do that? (I don't have unlimited data, but I do have the no-longer-extant texting plan between "unlimited" and "none" (or 500?))

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

meara,

yes, you may keep your plan (voice and text), but you need to add a data plan in order to have an iphone if you don't have a data plan already.

Replacing an iPhone, yes? Should be able to keep your plan, no problem.

Going to a smart phone from not!so!smart phone can demand leaving a grandfathered plan because of the data, but iPhone to iPhone shouldn't.

My knowledge is mostly Verizon, I will disclaimer.
