For years, my favorite News reader has been MT-NewsWatcher.  It runs
under the new Intel iMac but tends to crash when downloading binary

I'm having trouble, which seems to be on the rise, with browser

with just a bit of real estate at the beginning of an article.

I'm a member of a club and I occasionally send out an email to
all members. I have a printed list of all members, and I need to

that some of the web sites I used to visit are no longer available to
me using Safari.  I get the message "error, the requested URL could not

I have an imac on which somebody has loaded OSX without running the
firmware update first and the graphics do not display properly. I
understand I need to run the update under OS9 or OS8.6+. I have
downloaded 9.0 and 9.2 which is in multiple files.

Anyone know if there are any one-click ways (3rd party software
