The two years I've had my 17" PowerBook G4 have been a dream — except when it comes to hard drives. I seem to've had a streak of bad luck with them, as the first TWO hard drives I've had have failed, so I recently bought a new (and bigger...100GB vs. 80) drive and had it installed.

However, at some point I want to sell this laptop and buy a MacBook Pro. I'd get around half the needed money for a MBP from just selling the laptop (+ accessories, restore DVDs, etc.), so I obviously can't do it yet. I'm running off an external hard drive. While this works fine, the external is too small for me to install the software I need to make music, so basically I'm just spinning my wheels unless I finally give in and start using the internal.

What do you think? If I break down and install OS X on the internal hard drive and start using the laptop as a laptop again, will it still be saleable by the time I'm able to sell it? Should I save up for yet another drive, to be installed right before sale?

I'm getting into trouble in work because I make occasional typoes in work that goes to clients. I read and reread the work several times, but often miss 1 or 2 things. I've done a search for prooreading tips and I'm wondering if the Yahoo Community might have some solid prooreading tips that can help me avoid such mistakes in the future. Thanks in advance.

My female Pomeranian seems to be panting more than usual lately. She is about a year and a half, and has not been spayed yet, but she has not come in contact with any male dogs. Many times she just lays down and pants, and she constantly does it. She has been eating, drinking water, and her gums are pink, but still she just lays down and pants sometimes. She may be about to go into heat, but I am not sure because she has many other times, but this is the first time she has panted like this. Does anyone have any ideas as to what it could be?

Is it a turn off for a younger woman to make the move? I made a move on this guy, and he seemed kind of taken a back by it. Flustered even. We're great friends and I have really fallen for him, so I made the move. Should I just back off and give him time to think about it? Or should I talk to him?

When a terrorist group produces a video, audio tape or sends one of their regular messages, are we rewarding them with just the publicity they seek?

Should our leaders act like PR agents by reminding the world that terror groups can strike at will & kill us? Why boost their morale by spreading fear? Why don’t we smear them, spread misinformation, belittle them or just ignore them?

Why do we respond to those that hate our freedoms by removing the freedoms they hate?

Why are Bin Laden & Co treated like military Generals? They're pathetic traitors & betray the people they send to die in terrorist attacks

Why reward Bin Laden with every newspaper & TV headline, just because he recorded a 2 minute audio tape calling us infidels. It’s pathetic

I’m fed-up of seeing politicians act like cowards by telling us that terrorists are powerful & can penetrate our national security at will.

I’m fed-up of our leaders reacting to people that hate our freedoms by pushing policies to strip freedoms

The man walking by told the man drowning "It's pronounced help, not helps."

What do you understand?

I've recently got out of a relationship that I was in for two months. The girl said that she wanted to be single and "right now isn't the best time for me to have a bf." I was kinda feeling the same so we broke up. I can't get her out of my head and yesterday we went out to a skating event as friends. I told her, after the event, that I still love her and she told me the same but she said her love for me was not as deep as mine. She said that she will go out with me again. I want to buy her an x-mas gift and i want to continue to see her. is this a good idea, do you think we could ever get back together, and what is she really saying when she says, "right now isn't the best time for me to have a bf?????????"
