The CD drive will not take midi CD's. If you put it in the slot, it'll get stuck. On Jan 19, 2010, at 8:27 AM, erik burggraaf wrote: Hey guys, I just wanted a quick nook at a driver CD for an old part I have laying around here, and it's a mini CD. Uh, I am really reluctant to just shove

You can get a special external drive from the Apple Store that will accommodate mini CD's. another thing you could do, although it is a lot of time consumed, is to transfer your data onto a mini disk recorder, then transfer it to your hard drive. Richie Gardenhire, Anchorage, Alaska.

Growl Causing Trouble in Adium

How do I get rid of that Growl helper ap. It's far more a hindrance now than a helper. I had it start when Adium starts. Now, every time someone logs in or sends me a message, it says adium needs attention, growl helper ap, and if I'm in another program like Safari, it'll lock up VoiceOver

I don't think that you can. Those services are probably Automator workflows. In Automator, there is only one action that I know of that can speak, and that action only allows setting the voice, not the speed or any other parameters. So, if you want to do some serious text to audio conversion,
