I don't know if it's just the web URLs that I'm going to but I'm
finding that other browsers such as Firefox and Camino seem to render
web pages many times quicker than Safari.  Is that a fair observation
or do I have something "funny" going on in my setup?

When I get new email how can I adjust either my mail app or the address

OS X's terminal commands provide zip and unzip functionality. Is there a

HTML editor (I'm sufficiently out of practice that I'd at least like to
START with something graphical, even if I go back to a text-based
editor).

I've got video that displays in the correct ratio of height to width in
iMovie and on the camera in playback. When I burn a DVD, though, it comes
out letterboxed, stretched in width so everyone is short and fat.

If I select any message (in any NG) that I have already read, Unison
