Since leaving my Powerbook (15" 1.25GHz FW800) sleeping unplugged for a
couple of days, the battery has refused to charge. I'm also getting the
"date before 2001" warning on startup. Before this, I was getting about

Oddity with TextWrangler
Sat, 04 Oct 2008 22:48:48 +0100
Hmmm, well now. That's twice today that, when switching back to my

Anyone seen this on ...

Getting the hex out of HexEdit
Sat, 4 Oct 2008 15:37:09 +0100
