Is there a way to set the minimum font size for reading messages in
Mail?  I set the preferences for List font size, Message font size,

a .torrent file.

I have a PMG5 and bought iLife a while back.
Now I also bought a miniMac, which comes with iLife - alas a newer version.
How can I transfer iPhote from that machine to my G5, which is where
I'd rather use it.

Anyone successful in listening to XM Radio Online with a G3 OS 9 Mac?
XM Radio's home page "recommends" (they don't say "require") a Mac G4
with OS X and WMP 9 for online listening, and my XM account works with
this configuration.

I upgraded to 10.4.1 from Panther; clean install and then imported home
directory from backup. No problems except this one. Everyday, when I
first launch Mail, the application locks up when it starts retrieving
mail. I see the little wheels spinning by the four email accounts, ...

Since upgrading to 10.3.9, my mail server now requires me to
authenticate with e-mail address and password.  I don't know if this is
10.3.9 or a fluke change in requirementes on my mail server.  It doesn't
really matter.

I've upgraded to 10.3.9, via Software Update, and now instead of the
machine going fully to sleep after the proscribed Idle time, it just
shuts the monitor off. Energy Saver is configured the same way it was
under 10.3.8. Am I missing something, or is that a known problem?

I'm doing some research for my girlfriend, and she's looking at Garage
Band for recording some of her songs.  It's mainly acoustical guitar,
solo vocal, and maybe a bass or keyboard for some songs.
Okay, my questions...

I am trying to give Mail.app a try, although I probably won't switch from
Eudora, which I have been using since 1991. The first thing I noticed is that
there does not seem to be shortcuts for navigating between messages. Once I
have an email open, I don't know how to go to the ...

I need to convert about a dozen documents from WriteNow to .rtf (or
some other current format).  I do not own a Mac.  This is a one-time
deal for me, and it would be difficult to find a Mac and buy something
like MacLinkPlus.

lets say that I put comments into and adobe reader document, then I
quit for the day.
next time I come back the comments are nowhere to be found.

If you are running Illustrator 11.0.2 (assuming this is still the
latest version), I'm looking for confirmation of a bug.  Testing
for it is straight-forward and non-destructive.
1.  Open Illustrator and create a test document (squiggle to your

for WordPerfect 3.5e (classic application). What would that cost? Thanks,

Before upgrading to Tiger, all pdf files would dowload automatically to
my desktop and then open.  Now they open in the browser window instead.
Is there a way to change the setting so that .pdf files will download
to my desktop as before?

When i brought my new iBook to work, where we use Exchange 5.5, I was
surprised to see Exchange as an option.  When I setup the appropriate
connections it connected and started downloading stuff from our
Exchangae server.  Problem is I'd like to only see my folders and not
