A lemon is, well; a lemon. Any device that breaks down spontaneously is a lemon. The hard drive on my new RevB iMac 20'' crashed without just cause. I have lost data. It's been in …

China blows.

I too have a Rev. B 20" iMac, that falls in the serial number range, W8521xxxxxx (W8435xxxxxx - W8522xxxxxx) . This one is replacement for my Rev. A that blew two K capacitors. The…

Be careful about taxes when moving to China. I'm in Singapore right now and lots of people sell their equipment rather than deal with shipping and any electronics taxes entering …

Check this out, 4 days ago I purchase a new 17" 1.8 GHz iMac at CompUSA after using a friends and really liking it. The one I brought home had a halo spot on the display so I broug…

I'm still confused: At least some of the current 2.0 GHz iMacs fall into the serial number range, but Apple says: "The program is available for certain iMac G5 models that were so…

I know this may be a dumb question, but I searched and searched, and I can't find a thread that talks about this, so I was just wondering if there were any keyboard shortcuts (lapt…

thanks.

Option + something gives various accents. Try it with the following keys: eiun`

the n helps also.

Go to System Preferences>International>Input Menu and activate Keyboard Viewer. Then, from the flag menu in the menubar select Keyboard Viewer. A window looking like the keyb…

You can also just press ´ ¨ and ~ , when they turn yellow just press the key you want the accent join to, like this: á, ä and ã.
