The unit connects to the bottom of the iPod and is flush with the front. The back has a little overhang, to provide room for the 60gb to have a nice fit.

How-To, Macspiration 0

Recently, I was helping a friend install Mac OS-X onto some Macs that were donated to his school. While doing this, I figured I’d take some pictures of the monitor and write an article about how to install Mac OS-X onto a Mac. The steps described in the article also work for upgrading Mac OS-X (i.e. going from Jaguar to Panther), or reinstalling Mac OS-X for those rare times that you just need a fresh start.
