Okay well that will have to wait...
Dunno why, but when I went home last night with an eMate wireless card in hand and about 4 hours of free time to get it networked, that was the time my new(to me) drive decided that it wanted to start being weird. At least I think its the drive. Its a 230MB drive that is pretty beat up, but it runs!
So I boot it up and it sits there. I hear the drive spin and grind. Happy mac. We get to the desktop. Desktop elements aren't loading... it sits there. I move the mouse and the wristwatch appears and the mouse freezes. No sounds. Then minutes (feels like hours) later suddenly some more disc grinding.. the mouse moves a bit. Then wristwatch again. I got to reboot.
Three finger salute, no response. Shift at startup- doesn't work.
So... DAMN. I guess my drive is going? Only thing I did recently:
Installed OrangePC software, Newton Connection Utilities, and changed my desktop picture to a file held on a network file share (could that be causing it to be weird?)
