um... in my opinion the HK Sticks speakers are somewhat over-rated and hyped... i have demo'ed them and not at the MWNY expo's noisy hall those that have done so feel similarly y…

Yes, the new keyboard does have a power button. It is the disc eject button. Don't ask me why they did that; it's odd and confusing.

Hi Reader50 and the rest of you! Thanks for the reply, I too am a bit puzzled about that upgrade to 500 Mhz... Oh well... I am pretty happy with the 400 Mhz only I have a some an…

When has anyone ever proven that the disk-eject key is the power button? Time and time again, people have said that it is NOT a power-up key. There is even a TIL article that says…

It may not be a power button, but pressing it while your computer is turned off powers it up. Go figure.

Can you back that up? http://til.info.apple.com/techinfo.nsf/artnum/n58677 "The Apple Pro Keyboard does not have a Power button to turn on a computer" http://til.info.apple.com/t…

I accidentally made a huge scratch in my iMac's monitor. Anyone know if I can fix this short of replacing it?

Automobile window crack repair stuff? They manage to fix cracks, and you cannot see anything wrong afterwards.

did you cry ? because I would have.

How exactly did you make this huge scratch?

While trying to open my Mac. It must have been some sand on the couch that scratched it.

Hmm... don't know what to say. Removing scratches from glass is tricky because it's transparent. I know that you can rub toothpaste on plastic to remove scratches, so maybe that's …

Clarification: I was not referring to a repair service, I was thinking of those repair kits sold in auto supply stores. They include a tube or two of some clear epoxy stuff. You …

Another possibility: antique repair. With antiques the only authentic replacement parts are those cannibalized from another antique. Antique glasswork has to be repaired or lived…

You should be able to get it out with a auto glass scratch kit from Eastman's. Not sure if they have a website or not, but for 30 bucks you can get a bunch of buffing wheels (for …

If the "scratch" was from a (soft) metal object, its more likely that the scratch is actually just the metal ground onto the glass... If this is the case it can be removed by acids…

This may sound kinda stupid on my part, but are you able to get a new iMac under warranty?

I can sympathize with you. When I pulled my new iMac DVSE outta the box, my watch scratched the monitor slightly. The problem is that the glass has a coating on it - it's anti-gl…

Apparently there is no kit to fix scratches. I guess I'll have to learn to live with it, or have the monitor replaced. Oh well...

Something just struck me; in the Monitors and Sound control panel you can adjust geometry of the iMac's monitor. This used to done only with monitors that had an additional ADB con…

The 233, 266, and 333 MHz iMacs have an ADB chip on the logic board but no connector. Griffin Technology's iMate USB to ADB adaptor accesses this chip. Also, with considerable eff…

I know the ADB circuitry is on-board which is why I think the monitor is using it. We wouldn't have to solder on the choke coils etc (which I couldn't find btw because of bad speci…
