Well,
I've got a MS Wireless Desktop 1000 KB/Ms combo set FS....
It's only been used twice, once with my mac to make sure it worked, and again to test out a refurb sawtooth for my buddy
I can let it go for ~$20 + a few bucks for shipping, depending on where you want it shipped to :p
you can pm me with zip/details if interested or post back here :p

If you are running 10.3 or later, the file system is journaled, by default, making the manual use of 'fsck' virtually obsolete. If your filesystem does become corrupt (kernel panic, power failure, etc.), the filesystem journal is used to reconstruct it. If it can't, you probably have a bad disk or a serious low-level bug, neither of which are likely to be repairable by 'fsck'. It certainly doesn't hurt to try running 'fsck' in these circumstance, it's just that you may well be SOL, at that point.

I am shocked to see how popular these are becoming. Personally if I got one it would only be an addition to my computers not a replacement for my MBP. Like having the optical drive at my leisure and the better computing power. But then again I do working the IT field. I could easily see how they meet the average consumers needs. None the less I want one.
Lot's of people don't really need an MBP. People who actually need more power than a Core2Duo and discrete graphics are in a very tiny minority when just about the only uses everyone and their grandma have are content consumption such as facebook, mini games, or maybe the occasional email(if you want to count that as creation).

Guess what... I already have to get my PB repaired. Yay ! :(
Basically I have an iffy keyboard... It sucks. The tab button is obnoxiously loud and my "I" fails to respond if pressed in the wrong angle and my right arrow is ever-so-slightly above the rest of the other keys. Also my PB fails to play audio from its speakers if headphones are inserted, then removed. I have to half-insert, and remove the headphones to get my audio back... Ugh...
I plan to go to the SF Apple store in person.
So the questions:
Will Apple repair it on the spot?
If they have to send it back, how long would that take? And would I have to pick it back up in person, or do I have to go there?
Is the faulty headphone port attatched to the logic board? If so, would this mean a that I'd need to get another one? I don't like the idea of getting a refurbished board... So I hope not.
Would these issues warrent an entire HD backup?
If so, my other computer is a PC, with 128GB free (It has 2 HDs, one is 80GB (50 GB free), and the other is 200GB, 128 free [Slave drive]). This means its formatted as NTFS... How would I go about backing up my entire Mac HD?
I can't believe I already have to go through this. I got my PB around the end of may...
Thanks
EDIT: I think I put this in the wrong place... Sorry mods, feel free to move it to its appropriate spot.

I have a 14" ibook in good condition; it's never been abused or dropped.
It worked fine until recently (the computer itself is still operational).
I have the original Apple power cord.
The ibook works if I plug in the power cord (with no battery in the computer), so the connector and the DC-in jack don't appear to be the problem.
If I try to run it on battery alone, nothing happens. It doesn't power on. The battery is used, but still has some charge, is currently about 97% charged and all the battery test lights light up.
If I put the battery into the computer and plug in the power jack, the computer works fine (off AC power) and even "sees" the battery and reports the stats.
But...
the little green/amber light ring on the power cord no longer lights up. It's as though the computer can "see" the battery but the power source is unable to connect to it and charge it (and it won't run from battery).
Same problem if I swap out the power cord with another one that I know is in good shape, so it's not the power cord.
Any idea what might be the problem? A cable, a component?

Here's all you need to know Mcrain... a hardened weathered old-time farmer works his entire life, pours his blood sweat and tears into paying off his family farm, paying income tax on every cent he earned and property taxes on every square foot of land every single year... yet when he passes away and per his request, his farm passes to his only son, the government decides that they didn't bleed enough out of him. Before his son can have the farm, he must first sell off half of it to the highest bidder in order to pay off the tax man ONE MORE TIME.
It's a tax on accumulated (and previously taxed) income... period.
It's a new tax on the new transfer of the accumulated (and previously taxed) income. Big difference. (edit) Oh, and I already know plenty about the subject. Good try though.
(edit 2)
Fundamental misunderstanding... drives me crazy.
First, the estate tax is not a new tax, but an alternative to what would happen without the estate tax. What? Huh? Confusing? Ok, if you eliminated the estate tax, then there would be no tax at the estate level, but there would also be NO amount of the transfer exempt from taxation, and every heir would be required to include every penny they receive and declare it as ordinary income and pay a tax on that at whatever tax rate they are at. On the other hand, the estate tax simplifies the filing, provides a five million dollar exemption, and doesn't require heirs to mess with the paperwork.
Here's a wiki article you might like. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estate_tax_in_the_United_States

Thanks. I was was confused by the number of postings on the internet I saw which kept referring to folks saying they're using launchd now since "there is no xinetd in SL anymore" and so on. I assumed that meant it had been taken out entirely and replaced with launchd.
I'm still not entirely sure the PDF isn't wrong, though. It mentions FTP and Finger specifically as two services that use xinetd, which means they should have entries in /etc/xinetd.conf and/or /etc/xinetd.d/<service>, right? Only my 10.6 workstation has nothing like that. I do, however, have .plist files for both of those in System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ - unless the server is using xinetd while my desktop is using launchd, but that doesn't seem right. :confused:

Hi there,
if he's into dance stuff then Reason is a fairly good bet. The company is Propellorheads. Software is called "Reason".
Generally speaking, though, if you want top quality production software, get Logic by Emagic (now owned by apple)

Another great quarter.
Regarding the cash on hand situation, which now sits at around $65 Billion... I remember Steve was quoted somewhere as saying (and this was a long time ago, maybe a decade or so) that he always wants enough cash on hand to run a company in the red for <blank> years before going bankrupt. I say <blank> because I can't remember the figure he used.. This may tie into why there is so much cash in reserve beyond the normal amount a company should have for acquisitions, emergencies, etc etc... Apple makes a lot of cash, but also spends a lot just to run the company.
Also.... I'll just leave this here:

Misrepresentation of true color. Glossy gives the effect of higher saturation and contrast. That's why it looks "prettier" to people.

Does the Mac mini accept any other optical media like audio CDs, DVDs or other kinds it should support?
What does it say in System Profiler > Hardware >> Serial-ATA >>> "optical drive"?
You could make screenshots (http://guides.macrumors.com/Taking_Screenshots_in_Mac_OS_X) if you are unsure.

Is this something specifically to do with the Areca 1880 series cards and the Mac Pro 2010 or does this ring true for all other 3rd party RAID controllers?
It's true for any 3rd party RAID controller. It's also true for software based configurations (SATA or SAS ports + software and system resources).
When you previously said this is because one does not have access to firmware/EFI settings and can't change the boot device I am wondering why this is required, wouldn't there be a loader\boot menu that one can bring up? How would I then select between the primary OSX install on SSD1/Areca and Win 7 on SSD2/ICH if there wasn't a boot menu? Or is it simply some kind of limitation that will not allow the Mac Pro to detect and display in the boot menu stage any drives attached to the Areca controller other than the one that was set as boot drive in OSX?
Setting the boot device has nothing to do with it.
Boot Camp + RAID = DO NOT WORK. Period. :(
So keep Windows and OS X on a single disk each (or BC a single SSD attached to the ICH), which isn't a problem. Remember, stripe sets don't improve random access at best, and can actually create a performance penalty over a single disk when using SSD's.

How are the current displays old tech? I think you are confusing 'old tech' with 'original release date a long time ago but silent incremental updates since'.
The currents ACDs use the LG.Philips S-IPS panel. In other words 'about the best of new tech' as opposed to 'old tech'. I challenge you to find a 23"/24" display that uses a comparable panel for under $1000 . The newer tech is the H-IPS panel which is the monitor that you'll find in your iMac that has 'serious colour gradient problems' (send it back, it's a dud). About the only monitor you'll find with the H-IPS is the NEC 24" that comes in at around $1100 .
Glossy displays are not for pros so they will only be an option on the ACD's. Glossy displays are better than matte ones in the same way that a lollipop is tastier than a truffle.
The only update I can see happening soon would be to use the latest H-IPS panel with more inputs but Apple won't do that if it's not available for the 30" as well (is it anyone?).
Apple's competition with the highend 23/24" monitors is the NEC. Since the Apple is $200- $300 cheaper and there is no/few other comparable displays(s) in the price range I'd consider it a bargain at the moment unless you have other issues such as inputs.
If Apple release new ACDs I suspect the 23/24" will be more expensive, but you'll have a chance to get the present ACD for a bargain. Other than that I think the 23" ACD is a safe buy.
Yep -- You got this right.
