You don't need to hold command + r down for 30 seconds.
Wait until the sound, press command + r for 3 secs and let go.
Then, after 2 minutes or so press command f5.

Hello guys. Well, I haven't done this before and I am a little nervous doing
it.

Is it ok if I purchase an external 2 TB hard disk, create 2 volumes there, one

Just to be clear, vo-shift-home (vo-shift-fn-left on mac keyboards with no

If you have only interacted with the html content, it will take you

VO-Shift-Home is Go to first item and VO-Home is Go to first visible item. If

I'll try the restart in a moment. I looked in energy saver, though, and saw

If you search the mail archive for this list you'll find a number of comments
on using group vs. DOM mode, with most people who use group mode stating that
they prefer to do so because navigation is quicker, and that they'll switch to

I guess that's why they give it as an option. Each of us wish to handle things
in different ways.
