Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / December 2005

The good news is that my annual delivery of TurboTax arrived today.  The bad
news is that it requires OSX and I am still on OS9.  No problem getting the
refund, but now I need somethiong else that runs on ancient versions of the
MAC OS -- like 9.2.2.

What are the Pro's and Cons?

everything even old DOS Terminals and Apple IIgs's.

Sometimes when I go to click an alias icon in the dock, just as I
click, the dock disappears, the computer (my too-small, too-flimsy
iBook 12") processes noisily for a few seconds, then the dock slides

I recently formatted my machine, and I am trying to re-install Lotus
Notes 6 client on my Mac OS Tiger machine. It all goes fine throught he

 I downloaded a "Lost" video to my I-Tunes. I watched it but don't want
to keep it but I can't seem to delete it. Command delete doesn't work,
dragging it to the trash doesn't work. Any suggestions?

My wife has been very happy with her Mac mini running OS X, especially
since we were able to get her most important OS 9 application, the
recipe/cookbook program Mangia, to run under Classic.   We are well
aware that by the time we have to replace her computer classic will no

In OS 9, I used the Scrapbook - it was simple to drag and drop whatever
I had in the scrapbook into a doc.  I miss it.  Is there something
comparable in Tiger?

I'm in the UK and as such I can't access the content of the US iTunes
store. If I get a mate to buy (for example) an episode of Lost and
download it on to his iTunes, is it then possible to e-mail it to me
and for me to play it on my laptop in the UK running iTunes? Or will

I have several "important" documents done in PageMaker 5.0 from an old
Centrus 660 Macintosh. I'd like to be able to translate these files into
