Re: TV show: The Price is Right - 5 months ago

This was a fantastic video, thank you for sharing it, Speedy! It brought back a number of memories, including just how hard Bob Barker grabbed my elbow as he, um, encouraged me to walk from the wheel over to the area contestants stand after spinning. -Finney

Re: Just Finished "Project Hail Mary" - 5 months ago

I truly enjoyed Project Hail Mary. I've read it three times now, and each time I find that I enjoy it even more than the last time. Let me be clear: I'm easily amused and entertained. I enjoyed Artemis as well, and, of course, The Martian. Project Hail Mary has been my favorite of all three books so far.

Re: July 17, 2002: iMac G4, offering a 17-inch widescreen LCD display - 11 months ago

I love this machine! I keep one around so that I can boot into OS 9, as I still have a few audio projects left over from back in the day.

Re: Fry’s closes its original Atlanta store - 2 years ago

The ones here in Sunnyvale and Campbell are both ghost towns as well. Their inventory is a small fraction of what it used to be, and each time I visit there seems to be even less. I can't imagine they'll last another few months (although I remember saying that a few months ago as well). It's a shame, I always loved going to Fry's, as they seemed to carry so much that no other brick and mortar

QuoteMarkintosh Being a Sac guy, check out Daniel Swain at weatherwest.com Unfortunately Daniel has gotten very busy and makes posts infrequently. However there is a very active community of knowledgable people that unofficially add commentary on each post, on a minute by minute basis, about California weather. Living in San Jose for the last ten years, I've loved reading his posts on Weather

Re: Wife's iMac Won't Boot - 5 years ago

How old is the iMac? When you hold down option, are you presented with the cursor and other options to boot from, or does it stay a blank screen?

Re: recommend a 13" MacBook Air sleeve - 9 years ago

I've been buying from Waterfield since 2001. I absolutely love their sleeves, bags and cases. I currently have sleeves for my MacBook Pro, my MacBook Air, and a bag to carry them both. I can't recommend them enough, they are worth every dollar. Let me know if I can answer any specific questions. -Finney

Re: New MBP but I need some help - 11 years ago

After reading steps six and seven, I believe the above instructions were written for Tiger. Since the release of Leopard, Mac OS X hasn't used the netinfo database to store user information. I believe you will find the relevant user information in: /var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/users In this folder, you should see a file that looks like: username.plist, where "username" is the nam
