These archives are getting harder and harder to find and because of that we all should do what we can to let those who want to...

    After upgrading to Mac OS X 10.4.9, the Belkin 1100VA UPS which is connected via USB and usually always seen after login (causing the usual UPS power level icon in the top right to appear) is no longer seen after logging in.

    Could DropStuff crashing unexpectedly corrupt the original file?

I tried...

    I noticed that my mac mini won't read dvd-r's and upon inspection...with all macs under the detailed specs in the small print it says: 8x double-layer SuperDrive (DVD+R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW) ...no where does it mention dvd-r, just dvd+r so does that mean that the superdrive won't burn dvd-r's at all...
