Jim -- you have a good eye!
I posted an error correction: My daughter was *born* in 1968 and received the Apple ][ in 1980.
Sorry!

Greetings!
Is there any way to create a DVD or better yet, a flash drive (thumb drive), by using something like Carbon Copy Cloner to transfer the system files from my primary HD to the flash drive?
My primary drive (1 TB) has almost 300 GB total data. I don't want a complete clone.
But how do I extract only the system files necessary to create a boot drive?
Many thanks in advance!

The simplest thing would be to choose a flash drive large enough (maybe 8GB, certainly 16GB), partition and format it appropriately, and use the installer to install the system on the flash.

It happens frequently to me also with an AOL mail account that I am forced to use at work. The server is overloaded and cannot respond to the handshaking request before the mail app times out. Happens with Apple Mail, Thunderbird, Postbox and, horror of horrors, Outlook (which has to be the worst mail client ever). Usually happens at the busiest times of the day. All I do when it asks for the password is hit Cancel and after a few more tries it will eventually connect.

I�m still on 10.6, so it might be different for you. Go to Keychain Access (in the /Applications/
However, that might be an overkill. I think the first thing I would do in this case would be to delete this entry from Keychain Access and hope that when you are next asked for it this time it will �stick.�
Did you go to Accounts, under Mail�s preferences� and manually change the password there, even to the same password?

Howdy.
Does anyone have experience with Cryptigo?
Any way to read a Cryptigo file (extension .p7m) on a Mac?
It is apparently email secure digital signature and encryption software
mostly used by the U.S. Government and agencies and departments.
OS is limited to: Microsoft® Windows® 95, 98, Me, NT 4.0, 2000, XP,
2003 Server Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher
Another self-fulling prophecy locking out Macintosh in favor of the
most vulnerable platform available?
