Yup, and I also got a free software from Amara for this: [http://www.amarasoftware.com/flash-slide-show.htm](http://www.amarasoftware.com/flash-slide-show.htm) as I’m going to publish a review 😃 News from the comp’: just got back home, powered on, and got a “System has just recovered from a serious error…blabla” !! Well, at least it has recovered so far, just wish it’ll stay health for a few more weeks untill after we move and I got some more time to reinstall (as by then, I’ll also be unemployed… ☹ ) ---

Update: it worked for a few days, yesterday, I took out the unused Win2k drive, put the data drive back in, still worked, I leave the room for like 1/2 an hour, come back and find the black screen “C: drive not found” again, even tho’ the comp was running!? Today, take out data drive, insert XP as D: and W2k as C:, can’t boot to 2k again (dual boot option shows) but XP works with the “new baby, no softs registered” interface, but it works. So, finall decision: I’m formatting/reinstalling XP, no news for the next few days untill it’s all installed again…if all goes well. Please take care of sure shot, I have nothing at all against him, it was just a bit annoying, you’ll tell him, K, ok…? c yall soon, I hope… ---

Hey Joe, I am unfortunatly in the same boat as you at the moment. My baby, my lover, my Mac, passed in its sleep yesterday afternoon. I spent 10 and one half hours by its side, and at minimum of 2 on the phone with the doctors (Apple Care) trying to see if we could spark some life into it. Unfortunatly, this afternoon, I had to take her off of life support. I have to say though, she wouldnt go to rest easy. Not my baby. At around 9 o’clock EST she gave a spurt of life. To bad OSX was installed to the wrong partition ☹ She gave me a good, long, and tough 1 year and 1 month. Life wont be the same without my 12" of pure, hard, cold, aluminum PowerBook. I feel your pain and then some, she was like an extension of my body, my new PowerBook has big shoes to fill. RIP “my baby” 8-14-04 :’( ---

Ouch. You are on warranty right? So apple will send you a new one or fix your current one? ---

All i need is this HDD that they should give me for free if i hasel them enough, and then i got my server too 😃 ---

hasel, hansel… 😉 I’m done with -XP + all updates -Norton + all updates -Nero -Office & Acrobat -some misc stuff like Stuffit, Winrar, Flashget, PS Album, Quicktime etc now off to reinstall Macromedia, Photoshop etc… far from done Sorry to hear about your Powerbook, 'dipi, a friend once told me to install stuff on a Mac, all you gotta do is copy over the files/folder, that true? Sounds much simpler and quicker than Windoze… off to finish this. ---

Yeah Joe, you just mout the disk image, and drag the icon. When i get the new PowerBook in, i will look for a screen video capture thing (like camtasia) so you can see for yourself just how easy it is 😃 Good news - my PowerBook is awaiting a transplant of the HDD! Come Tuesday i will ship it out to Cupertino to get its new HDD and Wednesday i will have my new 15" so - i will have my VNC server set up!
