I tried erasing a zip using OSX drive set up and I think it erased the drivers on the zip disk itself.
Not a good start to using Zip disks…"

I live in North London and I agree with you that the Cube was one of the best macs made.
I have two, one boxed and brought from John Lewis. I never got round to using them other than upgrading them to the max. Max ram etc.
Due to illness I…"
Jeremy Clayton-Travis replied to James's discussion Episode 416: Freakin' Awesome!"I remember Mac Addict coming out in the UK.
Despite it being much more expensive that magazines like Mac World, I did enjoy it's rebellious nature when they printed articles like how to Hack your Mac. Something Apple would never agree to.

I have about six G4 MDD mac from the G4 1.25 to the dual 1.4 versions.I have noticed that four of them have developed the problem of not turning on and the power button just giving a light when pressed ~ so not completely dead ~ however I have looked for solutions to the problem and gather that they probably suffer from power supply failure.I would like to know if anyone has ever successfully repaired a power supply from one of these machines and if so can they identify the components that fail…See More

Hi Stella,
Forgive me if I don't give you my email address but it's because I am slightly disabled due to Multiple Sclerosis.
I have to be aware that it's a predatory world out there.
I was not aware of me actually writing a profile about myself ?
Perhaps you can tell me what it was I wrote that caught your interest ?
Regards Jeremy
