NOTICE: As of August 29, 2025 duties must be paid by the sender before items can be mailed to the United States. The duties must be prepaid and proof must be presented to Canada Post prior to mailing. The added import tax will be unknown until photos, a description and selling prices are submitted to U.S. Customs. This tariff tax must be prepaid and then added to the cost to the purchaser. Too much BS - so I can no longer ship to the USA. Sorry eh? KootenayMac is in western Canada

Transferring data from one Mac to another!

The future of open source at Apple
The Business and Politics of Open Source by Matt Asay - CNET Blogs
"So, Apple contributes code and cash to the open-source community. While not transparent in many things (It's a tremendously secretive company), the company (to my biased eye) is clearly one of the 'good guys' in open source.
The question I have, however, is what should come next for Apple and open source?"

Top ten laughably bad tech ads
Crave at CNET.co.uk
"The tech industry has a rich and hilarious history of being unable to promote itself as anything other than unutterably dorky. Originally we were going to call this 'The top ten worst tech ads', but as we hunted around we discovered these are pure gold. They are shockingly bad, but you'll derive so much pleasure from watching them it didn't seem right to use 'worst' anymore."

The Immaculate Desktop

Are you the sort of neat-freak who abhors Desktop clutter? Who keeps all apps and docs in carefully organized folders?
Consider diving deeper into onscreen clean by making your mounted drives and discs disappear from the Desktop and accessing them instead via Finder windows.

How to use FireWire target disk mode
link>> Apple Support
FireWire target disk mode allows a Macintosh computer with a FireWire port (the target computer) to be used as an external hard disk connected to another computer (the host). Once a target computer is started up as a FireWire hard disk and is available to the host computer, you can copy files to or from that volume.
