Diskwarrior has frequently rescued a disk for me in similar situations ; recently a 2TB drive which became unrepairable by OS X utilities it built a read only directory which enabled me to pull off a TB of vital information before I had to reformat the disk! Tim Martin ** *Clapham Park* *London*

I have acquired a G5. In reading about it I have stumbled onto something called Transition Manager. From what I understand this program is supposed to transfer all of your settings from your old Mac to your new Mac. Supposedly, it will transfer programs, too. Does anyone have experience with this?

I suppose everything has a price at which it will sell, but I'd recommend a G4 as the lowest level Mac worth buying. The 1.25 GHz MDD G4 are going for $150 or less and if I may say, are the sweet spot for MIPS/$ when it comes to old Macs. It will run Leopard fairly well, and I still use mine for

It'll do what you ask provided you have the software. If you're thinking of making DVDs with a camcorder then it'd technically do it but you'd be looking at days to render a full length video. And that's with regular video, you'd grow old waiting for it to render HD video Unless it's a local ebay
