Question for you. Is it possible to transfer jpeg photos from an IBM
PC to a Mac by putting them on a USB memory stick and reading them
back in on the Apple?


I'll have to give that a try. I haven't used a memstick in a long time.
I've had no difficulty transferring jpg's from OS 10 to Windows OS and
the reverse running Windows under an emulator.



Updates:

Will have to buy another memstick, since I can't seem to find any of the
half-dozen I used to have kicking around here. I'd say the dog ate them,
but...we don't have a dog, and the cats aren't dumb enough to eat that
sort of stuff. I'm still looking, though. Got to be one somewhere.

Got an email from the Apple tech I spoke with on the phone about my
MacBook Pro. The "repair" consists of replacing the logic board (Apple's
term for motherboard), one whose hard-wired video chipset doesn't have
the "problems" of the video chipset I now have.

I still don't know if it is a "while you wait" repair. Probably not at
this time of year. It takes about 20 minutes to get to the logic board
in these MacBooks...and the case fasteners are "0" sized Phillips head
screws. Then it is probably another 20 minutes to remove and replace the
logic board.
