TIP: Twenty steps to help diagnose and fix system issues

Hmmmm. Remarkably similar to Gulliver's list: Basic Troubleshooting Guide.

Apple also has a nice Troubleshooting 101 guide.

And, let's not forget Dr. Smoke's collection of helpful FAQs: The XLab FAQs.

Who is Dr. Smoke?

If you go to the Discussion's main page of forum listings and look at the Top Users on the right, Dr. Smoke is currently number 9 on the list and an L5. Smoke hasn't been on the forums for quite some time as he's working on other projects including the Leopard version of his Mac OS X Troubleshooting Guide. Perhaps one of the best troubleshooting books around - Panther and Tiger versions are available.

I'm not promoting but simply trying to answer your question.

Aha yes! The name didn't ring a bell. The only Dr. I know here is you, Kappy 😉

Kappy, do you have problems getting across the US/Canadian border with the new regs?

Well, I'm a "real" doctor. Smoke is a self-named doctor. Maybe I should be Dr. Kap?

Haven't so far. We always carry our passports so I think that minimizes any problems. Of course we won't know how things may change this year until May.

Yes, I know. So I thought it might be useful to add some of the other guides. More is always better when it comes to solving computer problems.

I believe he is the one who coined that famous phrase, "Don't Panic." 🙂 42 anyone?

Well good luck Dr.K.
