Thanks for the advise, Mac Write.

Yes, it also comes with a pretty crappy IMAP server.

I'd say go with the bulletproof IMAP servers, such as Cyrus, Courier or Dovecot combined with Postfix. There are a ton of howtos on that. Mac...

I'm not a big fan of Apple's routers. If you want something in the $50-range, I suggest looking at Linksys' (now Cisco) wrt54g-routers. They're rock solid, and I've put up a few of them at various...

Yeah, if not, the only thing left to do is to open it up and get the hard drive. It's not a lot of fun, but not terribly hard either. You will then need a SATA->USB converter (looks like this...

The solution turned out to be simple. Just shut the computer off for a few hours (maybe less, but a restart didn't help) and it will work. I really don't like this solution, but it did work. My best...

I just want to see if anybody ran into the same problem as I did after upgrading to Security Update 2008-007. After the upgrade I cannot launch Keynote anymore. I've tried everything I can...

Guys,
I think I've managed to narrow down the problem. If i shut down the computer completely and leave it off for a moment and then boot it up, the problem is gone. I have a feeling that booting up...

jamil5454,
