I want to thank you for your important and informative posts! You know, our hobbies are much alike)) I also like cooking and try to play guitar. I can do it only a little:) What I am unable to do unfortunately is fix my Mac. Therein lies the essential difference between us... You might help me fix mine. My <a href="http://bytesland.com/view/Mac-Life-Apple-Next-Big-Thing-January-2011" rel="nofollow">Mac</a> fails to start up and just ends up displaying the blue screen. Or it may log in but then fail to show the desktop. I’ve heard I should run Repair Disk, but I can’t do that when my Mac won’t start. What can I do? Thank you in advance. Dear Libby!

I'm looking for a copy of WinClone 2.2 (tryng to migrate a Boot Camp partition, of course) but it looks like twocanoes.com has closed up shop. Do you have a copy I could get from you, or could you please direct me further? Thanks again! Mark Libby, Thanks for the informative posts about your Mac experiences.
