Recently, I purchased and installed Warcraft III and the expansion set
"The Frozen Throne" on my G4/450. I have the most current versions of
ATI software for the video card (ATI Rage 128 that ships with the
computer), and both the most recent and version 1.2.1 of OpenGL, as well

I have been having a frustrating problem using mail for about 6 months.
The emails I write on my end
look well formatted. But when I receive copies of what I have sent in
replies to my emails, they look like this:

Like a lot of older people I've acquired a lot of analog stuff (see
subject).  What hardware would any of you recommend to convert this
stuff to digital?
VHS Tapes?  - would buying a DVD recorder also have the ability to take

We had Little Snitch ask if "siv.app" could phone home.  Did a LOT of
research and if this is happening, then someone has loaded a spyware
program called Spector on your Mac.
Out of the box, Spector takes a grayscale snapshot of your screen every

"Plug it in and it works.", I believe was the selling point; you

I'm looking for a rock-solid terminal emulator for OS/X that support 3270
Model 6 emulation (as well as all the other standard emulations, of course).
I'm currently using a thing called Powerterm Interconnect, which is pretty
good, except it doesn't support 3270 Mod 6, it doesn't ...

This is weird:  For some odd reason, Carbon Copy Cloner keeps stopping
during a clone operation asking for an administrator password.  It keeps
doing that ... oh, that every 5 minutes or so, and right after I type in
the administrator password to start the clone.

Hi...
  Minor nuisance here, just curious.  There are a few icons on my
desktop that I've moved further to the side so that they take up less
space.  The weird part is that when I reboot the machine (or when I come

Well, I think I tried almost everything and can't figure out what's
going wrong:
I'm using iTunes to import tracks to my HD in mp3/m4a format.  The
problem is, the tracks skip- sorta like a scratched up record.  They

Is there a way I can just plug this camera into my ibook and not deal
with this Easy Share software?  I do not like it, nor iPhoto.  I want to

card. I use Photoshop, and nothing else.

I'd like the change my default search engine in Safari. I can't see any
way in the Prefs to do this. Is there a workround? - perhaps using

I seem to be having trouble backing up the newer disney Titles.  After
ripping with MTR Toast says it can't compress or it may compress but
not burn.  When I try to compress with DVD2one it gives me an error of
"all files need to be copied to drive" or "ifo file doesn't match ...
