I couldn't agree more about the "Satan-garbage" fasteners. Broke one and got the other off with the backside of a hammer. Otherwise, went smoothly just as described. My wife had this same issue years back and spent around $100 at the mechanic for the fix. At 190K miles we want to do anything possible to keep this ride smooth and comfortable. Cheers and thanks again. Thank you so much for the detailed walk. I couldn’t agree more about the “Satan-garbage” fasteners. Broke one and got the other off with the backside of a hammer.

Simply click right click on a cell, select "Format Cells" from the menu that appears, then choose the "Fill" tab. The fills available include vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines as well as dots.

]]> Comment on GMail, IMAP, and Apple Mail = Slow? by Cecil http://balloflightning.com/2009/12/gmail-imap-and-apple-mail-slow/comment-page-1/#comment-3264 Cecil Sat, 05 Nov 2011 10:49:15 +0000 http://balloflightning.com/?p=55#comment-3264 This is the only help I have found that finally solved this slowdown issue for me. How frustrating. My answer was that in the /Library/Mail/pop-myemailaddress@whatever there were three such pop addresses that I stopped using ages ago. I guess in using the technique of copying over mail folders on new machines these came along for the ride. Moved them out of the folder and mail is now up to lightning speed. What a relief.

I would prefer FAT32 or anything that Windows XP or Vista can see. Windows XP/Parallels doesn't recognize the 300GB drive and neither my other PC with Vista. I downloaded Iomega FAT32 Formatter but it doesn't see the drive therefore no luck with this. Can you please help?

Thanks for the great directions. I am sure it saved my about $50 at the garage. The resistor did cost $23 but well worth it. Just completed the task. Thanks for the great directions.
