I have been finding that one or two Alu PowerBooks running 10.4.4 or above are unable to startup only producing memory error beeps on startup.

To fix this - ensure the Mac is off buy holding the power button until the unit powers down. Remove the memory and start up the PowerBook reseting the PRAM the Mac will power up ok. Then shutdown the Mac and put the Memory back in. All should be well again.

There seems to be a bug with Microsoft Excel Mac 2004 which prevents some Excel files from opening.

error - 'object library not being installed'

The fix which alas is only for each launch of Excel is to remove the file 'Office Registration Cache 11' which lives in ~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office
(This problem seems only related to NFS mounted home directories)
