I think I remember reading how to turn it on in MacWorld MacSecrets 5th Edition for some reason. I know that they do talk about that laptop in that book and the straw.

Cost: $61 AUD, which is a bit to me but should enable me to offload some other Macs as I hone down the collection Seems OS X is a difficult prospect on these machines - some so…

I'm in NYC, but I wouldn't dare do it until I am more experienced. You don't wanna trust me. Try washing the board with alcohol and water and leave it to dry for 1-2 weeks and that…
