mini is fine for the inevitable intel update...makes no sense for you to spend upwards of 2k on a computer just to update it 1 year later. id go with either the next update to a m…

My 2¢ 1) She should switch to Mac immediately. Professional designer use Macs. 2) Don't expect her to make 60K unless she has a solid portfolio and solid work history. When worki…

Seems some things are different here in Europe. Knowledge of Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign/Quark are REQUIREMENTS. You won't get anywhere if you don't know your way around wi…

Tell her she should become a painter. And I don't mean a house painter. Not that there's anything wrong with that. If she's going into graphic design because it seems like a more …

I worked in the Graphics Design field for a lot of years - last job was Designer/Pre-press in a 3 man Art Department of a large commercial printing company where we turned out ever…

anyone else unable to connect to AIM with iChat this weekend? iChat was working fine Friday -- but yesterday and today I can't log-on. any suggestions?

I just tried and it worked for me.

thanks. maybe I left my work PC logged into AIM and its preventing me from connecting. usually when I lock the work PC & go home my iChat works fine.

i am having trouble connecting also. for some reason i have no issues if I am using ADIUM or the AIM program itself, but with iChat if it keeps disconnecting, it will work again i…

I rebooted my Powerbook and that seemed to solve it for me. I was not connected at the office so I tried the PB while at the office and still no luck. My PB had not been restarte…

I have an iPod Shuffle and had by the pool on the weekend (I know...not real smart). Anyway, it got a little bit wet and now won't work and doesn't want to charge. Has anyone else …

Did you plug it in soon after it 'got wet' ? Sounds like you did. You should have given it at least 72 hours to dry out. What do you mean by 'wet' by the way? Did it fall in th…

Pool? Right... You had a date with Fergie didn't you.

Actually, it's my 11-year-old son's and he doesn't have much common sense...it didn't fall in the pool. It was on the deck by the pool and got a little wet from splashing and whatn…

You have to give more information when asking for help. We cannot read your mind through the web. It is electronic, and if it had power by the poolside, and the circuitboad got …

I realize I didn't provide much info, but that's all I have right now. Sorry. I'll try to find out more when I see my son tomorrow. He keeps the cap on the USB connector unless it'…

This is my own personal advice here. Don't tell Apple it got wet... I'm guessing it was more a problem with the unit than anything. This moisture just exasperbated the situation …

I didn't buy the warranty with the purchase. Isn't there only a 30-day warranty on these things unless you buy the extra warranty?

There is a one-year standard warranty. Let it dry first, then try plugging it in. If it doesn't, send in a service request, but don't mention the water. Sometimes you gotta do wha…

Thanks for all your help. It must have dried out. I charged it up last night and everything is working fine now.

Don't worry about people on the board being jerks, either. There are just people like that here. There are some helpful, polite people as well.

Yeah, don't worry about people on the broad being jerks. There are just people that just quit smoking like that here. I hope I was at least a bit helpful anyway.

I had a little incident on Friday - blue screen of death. I thought the hard drive with my system folder had failed because Tech Tool didn't even recognize the drive existed. Dis…

Hi! 1) You used the RAID from OS X or is this a hardware RAID system? You won't be able to boot from a STRIPED RAID unless it is a hardware RAID, and not from a MIRRORED RAID if y…

to put ownership back "on". Thanks for letting me know about the security issue. I made the RAID using the disk utility in OSX. I won't try to put a system folder on it now that…
