print management system, what I having trouble with is the the Mac
keyboard number keys on the right side not working through terminal

Its a really great application. Comparing it to Word is like comparing a
Stearman to a Cessna 182 because they're both aircraft. Pages and Word
may be both be word processors, but they are very different. I've been
waiting for a good, non-bloated Cocoa word processor. Nisus ...

In years past I used Norton Anti Virus on my pre OS X Macs.
Since moving to OS X, I've read here and elsewhere that most users feel
it is not needed. I believe mainly due to the few if any Mac viruses.
Is that still the prevailing wisdom??

I use the Sherlock dictionary many times daily.  Recently, it started
bringing up entries only from Princeton's WordNet instead of the several
dictionaries it used in the past.  This is *very* bad.  Today I tried
getting synonyms for the noun, "criminal" but it would only show me ...

I love Mail !!! It's been dead for me for some time but I was able to
bring it back to life !! Hurray !!!
Bummer ! Now I remember, Mail is great but it's also missing a lot of thing !
I was wondering if their was some extensions / plug-ins / ... that

I have an AppleScript that, at a certain point in its execution, pauses
until a certain time is reached by looping and continuously checking
the time until the desired time is reached, at which point it breaks
out of the loop.

This may be a stupid question, but I can't figure it out.  Is there a way
to set an event to pop up a reminder some time before the event (say, 1
week), AND on the day of the event as well?  I have a few set to 1 week
pre-event reminders, and I was a little surprised when on the ...

Anyone knows what I should use to convert "asf" video files into "MOV"
? So far, all I found was some windows application ... and I DON'T have
a PC, so ...
If you don't have the answer but know some "link" that maybe could help

Is there any kind soul out there who can open a MacDraw2 file and send
it back as, say, a JPEG, or any other openable format?
Unfortunately Graphic Converter will only open MacDraw1 files: Thorsten
Lemke tells me that Apple never did release the file format details for

I have JPEG files that keep being opened by Explorer, even though I used
File Exchange to assign Photoshop to open them.
In File Exchange > File Translation, I clicked on "Add" and selected one
of the sample JPEG files, then I clicked on Application (Translator) and

I listen to mp3s of Audio Books and Newscasts and wanted to find out if
the ipod was capable of stopping in the middle of a track and then
resuming next time I turned on the ipod?  
Thanks,

 I don't have a Mac, nor access to one. But a user of my website
report that the page doesn't present properly using Safari.
(He is using v 1.2.4 (125.12) under OS OS 10.3.7.)
Now, it appears the iframe in the page does not appear,

On a PC running IE 6.0, I can do File > Save As "Web Page, complete".
This will save the .html file as well as any images and style sheets
used in the file. I can then open the saved page into MS Word and all
the images/text are there.

Yesterday I upgraded to iLife 05, mainly because I wanted to stay
current on iPhoto. To my chagrin, while the program functions, and has
some useful new features -- especially a much improved tool for removing
red eye, about which more later -- it's so slow it's almost unusable. ...

I'm looking for a simple, cheap Mac program (ideally shareware) that
will let me create a simple but good looking web site.
I have been using Trellix, a PC program that came on a CD in a bargain
bin book. It's surprisingly powerful, but it brings out a nasty bug in
