Bump!
Does anyone know the answer to tempsonyfreak's Mozilla question? I've never played around with proxies much, any help would be much appreciated here

Further to my previous query about a Mac mini sized PC, it appears that Evesham Micros/Technologies (whatever they're called these days) in my home town have the exclusive deal to market these:
which is a similar size to the Mac mini:
The only big difference is the price, Evesham want £699 for it (?) whereas a Mac mini starts at just £359 almost half the cost!!! (It's not clear whether a monitor, mouse & keyboard are included with the PC, but even adding that to the Mac minis cost it would still be over £150 cheaper!)
Here's the news at The Register

JoolsG4 is your man for macs, but the date problem is almost certainly caused by a dead or dying CMOS battery. They're very cheap and very easy to replace, you can buy them from just about any hardware store such as Wilkinsons etc.

@Dicky:
As a temporary measure just enter the correct date and time in System Preferences > Date & Time, and leave the PowerBook plugged-in while you use it, install stuff etc.
Then have a look here: PowerBook: Testing Backup Battery
You need to find out whether its a rechargable internal backup battery or not. If you're not comfortable fiddling with your PowerBook, just visit a nearby Apple Service Centre.
@Cycovision: I'm not intending to hijack your PC Help thread. Think we might need a Mac Help thread!!

okay...you know when (on windows, im on XP home) you get an error box that pops up, you get that annoying horriable sounding BEEP noise? how do i get rid of it? I didnt used to have it, now i re-installed windows (had troubles with the computer), and now the sound is backkk, and its at work, so they can hear when i mess up hahaa, or when i send an IM to someone, and i want that quiet thanks!

go to
'settings'
'control panel'
'sounds'
then in the scheme bar - choose 'no sounds'
Job done! but you lose other sounds such as windows start up etc..... |

or you could just edit individual sounds, in ECS's case the 'critical stop' and choose (none) as the sound, maybe a little better than loosing EVERY sound hey guys!

i dont bother with any sounds..... i listen to music when im on the pc unless playing games, so for me - i switch all sounds off.....
but you can switch off each one individually as stated above 
Up to you i guess |

external hard-disc-drive if you can afford one, you pick up reasonable sized 160GB ones like this one from Maxtor for about £130 and its nice and easy to use.
EDIT; I can't type on my new laptop  typo's everywhere lmao
