      KDE4 looks *very* different to KDE3 - i have both.
      it's like comparing XP in classic-mode to win7

        I haven't had a chance to try KDE4 out. When I did try KDE3, I used it for a couple years but in the end, decided I liked Gnome better. Now that we have Gnome 3, it might be worth a shot checking out KDE4.

        I gave the laptop back to my aunt today. So far, no calls saying stuff isn't working right. Hopefully everything's good now. Thanks for all the help with the Macbook Pro!

          Macbook Pro DFU Restore Issues
          by Flasman90
          I have a 2020 Macbook Pro A2289 and after many attempts managed to get it into DFU mode, using my older 2017 A1706 Macbook Pro (Running Ventura 13.7.8). However, when attempting 'Restore', it fails at step 4 of 4, showing the following error:

          - "The operation couldn’t be completed. (AMRestoreErrorDomain error -1 - Failed to handle message type StatusMsg (Generic error)) [AMRestoreErrorDomain – 0xA (10)]
          - "The system cannot be restored on this device. Failed to create new state machine for restore [com.apple.MobileDevice.MobileRestore - 0xFB1 (4017)]

          Macbook Pro A2338 820-02020 Stuck on RESTORE MODE
          by lab10.haifa
          Good day, friends. Got this problem with M1 macbook - it starts, chimes, tries to boot and stuck with a message "support.apple.com/mac/restore"
          It works with DFU mode, but it's cannot be restored. With "revive" function - same problem. Internal restore mode doesn't work, as well as Internet Recovery.
          There is no damage on the motherboard. No short circuits.
          Could it be a NAND problem? (but usually, if NAND is dead - mac simply wouldn't turn on)
          Thanks....

          MacBook Pro 2018 with Activation Lock
          by envym
          Hi everyone!

          I have a 2018 MacBook Pro (with Sequoia OS) that I've been using for years with no problem. I recently received an M2 MacBook Pro so I'm mostly using it and not the 2018 one, but since a friend of mine needs a computer, I thought I could restore my 2018 and give it brand-new-like to my friend.

          I tried using the built-in tool to restore the MacBook (Settings > General > Transfer or restore > Delete) but it got stuck when trying to remove the Find Device configuration (it asked me for the password for my old Apple ID -now I use the same account but...

          Water damaged MacBook Air A1932 AmrestoreErrorDomin Error-9 trying to restore with configurator
          by dbuergi
          Hi all,

          this Macbook was stuck at 5v and didn't start because of some water damage. I was able to clean everything and the board started. So i put everything back together and the Macbook seems to boot with 20v, 1,4A and 29W. So i decided a DFU recovery. At 50% of the system repair i get the error massage from the title. Display stays black and no Apple logo. Both repair and recovery don't work.
          Is there anything i can do?
