snow leopard dock
Howdy, all! I just upgraded from tiger to snow leopard about a month ago. One thing I'm finding very annoying is the new dock behavior vis-a-vis docked folders. I can't really see any real use for stacks or fans, honestly (although I'm one of those folks who keeps his dock on the left, not the bottom, ... 20 Feb 2010 17:59

Mac Book Pro turning self of
My wife's MBP has decided to turn itself off. Completely. It appears to be doing that about every 10 minutes or so. It seems to be a close to when the power saver puts it to sleep. This has just started today. It is plugged in, the battery is at 100%, the indicator at the plug in is green. It is an old (r... 17 Feb 2010 02:15

[This is a repost with minor typos removed.] Encouraged by posts here, I installed a 4GB memory module in my Mac Pro. The physical insertion of the RAM seemed easy and trouble free except for not being sure what to do when doing it for the first time. There were three 1GB modules in slots 1, 2, and 3.
