grumbling lately from users.

I read piles of PDF files on a regular basis, and wonder if there is a
way to read PDF more effectively. I like Preview.app, which is quite

pain for me. I wish there'd be tabs for bookmarks.

What app opens an e-mail attachment with the  extension .wmv?  When I
clicked on it, Photoshop Elements came up... and said it couldn't open
it.
Any help gratefully accepted.

How do you change the background color of the TextEdit window?  In
Terminal you have Window Settings, which brings up Terminal Inspector
with the color settings.  Where is the TextEdit command for that?

Three different browsers (Safari, Netscape and Firefox) are behaving badly on my
new iBook with OS 10.4.3 installed.

I need for the calendar to update the year while maintaining the data it

As broadband speeds have increased, I've found that I view/download
video files on an increasingly regular basis.  I imagine I'm not alone
