Retrieving data from MacOS HDD

Lol, Pick2, you got me feeling pretty sheepish over here. Of all the things, all the methods, I did not even think of that one. Which is kinda hilarious since I was wanting to install an SSD in the Mac as well. Thank you for the suggestion, it's likely the way I'm going to go.

HP Officejet Pro X476dn MFP Woes Resolved)

Resolved! Apparently there was a small, very well hidden wad of ripped paper jammed inside. Oy vey. Hint for those that may not be privy, if you have a similar problem to mine above, feed a new sheet of paper into the feeder and then use the wheel underneath to pull it through the bottom. If...

HP Officejet Pro X476dn MFP Woes Resolved)

Hey all, I'm currently having an issue of a seemingly false ADF jam. Is anyone else aware of such an incident? I'm getting an error informing me that there is an ADF jam, but upon inspection, I see no originals in the feed. I've used the wheel under the tray to try and remove anything that...

What is wrong with keyboard manufacturers

I can understand not liking full keypress but the keyboard does have "media" buttons. Keys F1-F4 are used in conjunction with the SteelSeries logo (Windows key). :)

Windows installation woes

Yeah, I realized that after the fact. I had formatted the HDD to NTFS before I read that I should format it to FAT32 instead. I haven't had the opportunity to try this out just yet but I'm hoping to be able to sometime today. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks!

Where else do they have poutine

Something that could be considered similar to this is "Aussie Fries" from Outback Steakhouse. Basically it's fries covered in like three different types of melted cheese and sprinkled with a ton of bacon bits and sausage. It's freaking delicious!
