    Go to System » Administration » Disk Utility

    Then select the NTFS partition and click the Unmount icon on the toolbar.

    Poll: Re: How many razor bladed does a person need?

    Poll: Re: Magic Eye images: Can You See Them?

    That's not true, at least for me - I'm short-sighted in both eyes, the left moreso than the right, but I can still see them, even without my glasses.

    Razors I've used in recent years:

    Wilkinson Sword Quattro (4 blades): Just awful in my experience. I've had more comfortable shaves with single-bladed Bic disposables (10 for £1!).

    Re: 1 vs 2 panels

    I currently have four:

    I would prefer to have just the two, but my icons and menus get mixed up when a fullscreen app changes the resolution - so I split the top panel into three.
