          <outline text="Adam i sure hope you agree with me...&#10;&#10;More is not always better... The marketing must be good out there.&#10;&#10;I have herd people saying.. &quot; if i only had 8k for a Dual-4-core Mac Pro &quot; But here is the thing... you are a software guy... there is still so many apps that are single threaded by design... I am sure a multi core system with unix can Break things up pretty well and get some use out of Multi cores...&#10;&#10;Here is what i am getting at mainly... most mac users... what do they do.. i want to say most as in 80% of the users&#10;what applications do they use? Safari, Mail, iChat, iLife&#10;&#10;Most users would probably just as easily enjoy a single core 3ghz celeron. in some cases that may even be faster then a core 2 simply because of the raw clock speed.&#10;&#10;I just don't get it my man...  i have a g3 500 Mhz imac from 1999 it has a new 120 gig hard drive one gig of ram... Its lightning fast... Mainly because its a apple ... but it runs tiger great... it would suit 80% of the mac users out there.&#10;&#10;i just don't know why apple has to charge so much they would get so many more customers if they made a Value mac. 599 for a mac mini is too much.  Intel stuff is so dirt cheap now. i mean you can buy a gig of memory now for 34 bucks and a 3 ghz celeron for 40 bucks and those are retail prices!!!!! Wholesale has to be sickeningly low.&#10;&#10;Let me know what you think... you are highly respected in my book!"/>

        <outline text="1.)  I Have a partitioned External Hard Drive on my mac mini (ppc) (1st gen) how can I repartition it without losing data (iPartition tells me that it cannot read the map and that I would have to create a new one{or something like that})">
          <outline text="I generally don't advise trying to repartition a drive with data on it. I back it up, reformat and re-partition, and then restore the data. If you must then you could try a product like VolumeWorks" MediaLinks="VolumeWorks &lt;http://www.subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=200&amp;products_id=6&gt;"/>

      <outline text="iPhone Quick access punctuation">
        <outline text="From David Pogue's new iPhone Missing Manual. Credit to Andrew McCallum for the tip."/>
        <outline text="Normally punctuation is accessed from a separate keyboard accessed by pressing the &quot;.?123&quot; key. After which you need to press the &quot;ABC&quot; key to return to the QWERTY interface. This tip allows you to type punctuation and return automatically.">
          <outline text="1. Touch the “.?123” key, but don’t lift your finger as the punctuation layout appears."/>
          <outline text="2. Slide your finger a half inch onto the period or comma key, and release. Incredibly, the ABC layout returns automatically. You’ve typed a period or a comma with one finger touch instead of three. In fact, you can type ANY of the punctuation symbols the same way."/>
        </outline>
        <outline text="Works because, unlike the ABC keys which type when you lift your finger from the key, the punctuation keys register on &quot;press-down&quot;."/>

      <outline text="Rebuilding the Launch Services Database">
        <outline text="A question from Fernando:">
          <outline text="I sometimes have a need to &quot;right click&quot; on a file and select &quot;Open with&quot; to choose an application to open the file. The problem is that when I select &quot;Open with&quot;, it will take a couple of seconds to pop up the menu and once it does, it will display about 4 or 5 copies of the same app. For instance, Adobe Photoshop CS3 will appear in the menu 5 times. How can I remove these multiple copies?"/>
        </outline>
        <outline text="The issue is the Launch Services Database. OS X LaunchServices is how an application is found to run when you double-click on a document. If the program is in /Applications, or you launch it at least once, then LaunchServices should detect it."/>
        <outline text="If you backup or re-install an app, etc. You can sometimes end up with duplicates in this database"/>
        <outline text="You need to rebuild your Launch Services Database. You can do this using a tool like OnyX,  or Cocktail,  If you are really adventurous and not afraid of the Terminal you can use some shell commands.">
