Microsoft has broken something in their backup software

Error returned while creating the volume shadow copy:80042301

Not clear what's happening here, but sometime in the past few months it seems a windows upgrade broke the shadow copy mode. Regular backup mode works, but one can see this errror message in the log.

This MCSE note says:

If you're using an NTFS volume, try the steps listed below:

Open Regedt32.exe and navigate to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\setup

Change the "UpgradeInProgress" value to 0.

Unfortunately, there's no such key in my registry. The closest one is "SystemSetupInProgress" and it's already set to 0.

iMac G5: Bluetooth

Hardware: iMac G5 Developer Note

Bluetooth is available as a build-to-order option, which is installed by Apple at the time of purchase as a fully integrated module. Accessing the Bluetooth capabilities without purchasing the integrated module will require a third-party dongle that may not support all present and future features supported by the internal module.

When the Bluetooth option is included on the factory order, the Bluetooth antenna is internal to the enclosure.

Very strange. Why didn't they make it standard?

EXTREME photo editing

TidBITS: Editing Photographs for the Perfectionist

Forget Photoshop. This guy uses about a dozen special purpose photo tools. Good uses for a G5 -- I wouldn't try any of them on a G3.

Next week he threatens to discuss ColorSync. That I want to see. (The Horror, The Horror ...).
