I got my sister to switch a couple of months ago.

Using Mail for OSX, when I send an e-mail with an attached Word (also
for OSX) file that includes a jpeg within it, the e-mail never reaches
its destination. (It does show up in the Sent folder as having gone

I wonder if there's a good solution for storing, viewing or retrieving

Is there a true comparison? Does any have any information on how they are
alike/different? Anything I can use to fend off EAC snobs?

I have two mp4 sound files that are both recordings of the same
mixtape.  One of them is, say, the first 60% of the mixtape.  The other
one is the last 60%.  The whole mixtape should be about an hour long.
I need to join them in the middle precisely so that the whole mixtape

Hi...
  My wife suddenly wanted to get a solitaire for the new mac, so we
poked around a bit and found Solitaire Xl freeware, which is pretty darn
good (though lacking a vegas version).  It piqued my interest though for

I am trying to connect to my Windows PC via Remote Desktop Client from
my Mac.  I can connect to the PC and see shared drives and transfer
content back and forth just fine, and I see the Windows XP login when I
use RDC and input the IP address.  However, Windows will not let me log
