Language. Interesting error. Nice solution by Carolyn. I have never seen this personally. I would have suspected a corrupted font for the designers that would have an issue with this.
Might be a corrupted preference file (.plist)
Go to ~/Library/Preferences
Move the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
In \. This would be very irrating for photographers or anyone who deals with lots of photos. Good work Dreaz!
In case anyone else has noticed this issue, I found the answer. It’s a Lion issue, so delete the following plist:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Preview/
MacBook Markerboard – anoved.net. Interesting idea. I never thought of this. I wouldn’t suggest people do it as a routine thing however. The pressure I would think would damage the screen. What do marker-boards cost now? $10?
I hadn’t considered this before, but it is a possibility. I wrote this comment below in the article. This could actually save money.

This is a helpful analysis. The rental prices for most macs are too high to be worth it for most companies, so I doubt that will happen. However I do see the benefit of using things like iMacs and Thunderbolt setups, instead of the traditional Mac Pro’s and built-in storage for certain users.
I think the key in this is how reliable those External HD are. If they are more reliable than past RAID’s and external storage, I can see this happening.

Multilingual Mac: Fixing Keyboard Type Problems. If your Mac says it has a US keyboard but still isn’t working properly you may want to do what this gentleman suggests.
If not, you can try trashing the file
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.keyboardtype.plist
Good troubleshooting in this thread at the Apple Discussion forum. After some effort C.D. Tavares finds this out:
The culprit turned out to be ShoveBox. Apparently, I failed to take it out of the login items earlier, or if I did, I failed to notice the reboot worked properly. Or, perhaps I made the assumption that “ShoveBox is so simple it couldn’t POSSIBLY be the problem (BZZZZZZT!)”
The bottom line is that sometimes we rush through troubleshooting and fail to notice the information it gives us. Being careful and methodical is just as important as knowing the technical skills. Very few IT people I have worked with have been wise enough to learn from their own mistakes.
So far so good comes the report. It is almost a given if people give the Mac a try they like it. It is beautiful to use isn’t it?
Well this argument makes sense, but I think many IT managers will feel burned with the loss of the Xserve RAID and the Xserve. I doubt they will invest their reputations again on what probably hurt them in credibility/value in the eyes of their employers.
I know when I worked at a company that invested in tens of thousands of dollars worth of Apple equipment, they were upset when Apple EOL’d the XRAID. It is a bitter pill to swallow for the person who make that decision.
