I connected my Sony digital camera with the MacBook and the screen turned black. I wonder why because the Sony camera was not on at the time and technically could not be accessed. So I thought it might be temporary and I turned on my camera.
Well, it did not work, but my MacBook Pro has been dead since then. It will not turn on - when I hold the…

This page says that it can be done, but I think that it…

I'm thinking of ways to get around the high cost of hard drives lately. I was thinking an optical jukebox would be interesting (though more expensive than just buying a hard drive), then thought I've heard of OS's run from DVD so why not boot from a Blue-ray drive.
I think a smaller OS like a linux…
