    G5 Quad Gluttony!

    So after 2/3 years of putting up with an unsightly '12' in my system profiler under memory, I finally got some cheap DDR2 DIMMs to bring me on up to 16GB. For some reason when I first put them in it only detected 2 of 4. So swapping 4 x 1GB for 2 x 2GB was naturally not much of an upgrade. I...

    Why does Apple block turning these fonts off?

    Yes, they must be system fonts, but why use them in their system? Is it that code is written in various countries, and Apple does not translate them into English? I hate seeing these fonts take up so much room in Design and Photo programs. I'll never use them. What a waste of desktop acreage...

    Messages - Command+Option+Delete Stopped Working

    Anyone else experiencing this or find the fix? I just updated to 10.13.5 on my MacBook Pro, and it appears they've removed the ability to use command-option-delete to delete a message and bypass the annoying confirmation warnings. Even when I view the "file" menu, and hit option, it doesn't...

    Running default in Target Mode

    Would there be a performance hit to running a 2017 iMac from my MBP set in target disk mode?

I'm hoping to use my MBP as my primary machine and then plug...

    3 months iCloud storage free after upgrading to 50gb?
