     Try zapping the PRAM. Command-Option-P-R on startup, hold through three or four restarts, or until the screen flashes an odd color on startup. It fixes all sorts of weird and fucked-up behavior.

     Hey, am I the only one who always gets that nostalgic feeling like I'm dusting off my Commodore 64 trivia when I'm doing tech support for pre-OS-X OSes?

     Oh, and LOAD "*",8,1 forever, yo.
