Hi,
A couple of slightly annoying problems:
1. I have a USB thumb drive connected via a hub to my iMac
OS10.5.6. When I plug it in it appears on the desktop, but when I
shut down or restart without removing the thumb drive it
does not appear on the desktop and I have to remove it and re-insert
the drive, and then it appears again.
That will be related to your hub which obviously needs a driver which
loads after the test is done looking for add on's .
2. I created an alias for Mail and parked it in the dock, but again
after a shut down it displays a question mark and won't open Mail
when I click on it. I seem to remember that in
earlier versions of OS 10 you could control-click and there was an
option 'Show in dock'. How can I make the Mail icon in the dock open
Mail all the time?
Drag Apple Mail app itself to the dock ... it will create an alias there
then right click on that alia and hold for the menu - check " open
at login "

I know these a not quite on the scale of swine flu in terms of
severity, but I like my Mac to run smoothly all the time - just to
annoy Windoze users!!
