I had all my iTunes music on my Mac Mini, which was set to do an update every night. But now all my music is on my MacBook, and I currently have no automated backup set up. This is making me nervous. Have to get that Time Machine set up....

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

Time Machine has the coolest interface!

Ha! I now have a Google phone running Android!
OK, an emulator for a phone. But still, I created and ran the "Hello, Android" application. Fun.

Apple really is the master of the user experience.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I put one of my old SCSI Mac Hard drives in my Windows PC and I was trying to get MacDrive to see it. The plan was to share it there and pull old files off to my newer Mac.
I accidentally reformatted the drive. It didn't even warn me that I was going to lose data.
I thought it was asking for a name, but it wanted to put new partitions on the drive.
Nothing has been written to the "new" formatted drives, and the two partitions on it were not changed in size.
In the old days I would have used a utility that unformatted the last partition and restored the MBR.
WTF can I do about this nowadays? I have put it into my G4 with Tiger and yep, clean as a whistle.
I see some recovery tools out there, but I need some suggestions.

That sucks. I think MS has the philosophy of "if it ain't got Windows stuff on it then there's obviously nothing at all on it."
ION, in OS X you can now 'right-click' by putting two fingers on the trackpad and clicking, rather than holding down the ctrl key while clicking (you have to enable this feature). Is this new for Leopard? Or have I been missing this goodness for years?

Hey. New board.

It's been around at least as long as Intel laptops, and I think Powerbooks had it before that. Maybe even iBook G4s. So... years.
You can also drag downwards using two fingers to scroll, at least on my MBP. Best. Feature. Ever.

you need a 3rd party system pref to do those trackpad tricks with G4 hardware.

Any suggestions for which type of anti-Spyware/anti-Virus software I should install on my Vista desktop PC? It came with Norton, which has now just lapsed, so I should either renew it or get something else....

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I hear AVG is good. And for spyware, Ad-Aware and Spybot.
