Starting a few days ago, I have trouble logging on to Vanguard using
Safari (2.0.4, OSX 10.4.8). The site page loads fine but doesn't seem
to recognize my password (when I submit the password, I just get the
logon page back).

Every now and then Mail asks me for my passwords for pop accounts

"remember in keychain" and it goes on happily, days later
sometimes it will happen again? This morning a bad case of no

I'm looking for a newsreader that is preferably available as a
Universal binary. I've been using Unison for a few days, but it's not
very feature rich for a newsreader. I have been using MT-Newswatcher
(an older version) on my G4 (also running Tiger) for years now and it's

My addressbook froze up today while I was trying to add a new contact,
and I ended up force quitting it. But when I reopened Addressbook, all
of my data seems to be missing -- all of my addresses, my groups,
everything.

Had another go at using fireFTP on Tiger but it does not seem to

I just installed Unison and have been playing with it. Nice interface,
but some features I would like to see don't appear to be here. The

have a two button mouse with a click wheel. Pressing both buttons or

I seek freeware or open source software that will allow me to extract
the audio portion of .MOV files, allow me to save the extracted audio in
a variety of formats and also allow fairly precise editing of the sound.
Anyone have any suggestions? TIA.

Perhaps Open Office for Mac is not for me! I notice lots of
unsatisfactory things. Better try that Neo one. I mention, in
case it is just my set up. Seems clunky.
It does not like clippings, it has Windows keyboard commands,

Lately my Safari browser has been performing strangely.  Often the blue
bar that sweeps across the "http" window at the top of the Safari page
does not complete its sweep and locks up.  Also, I am noticing
statements at the bottom of the Safari page saying things like

Since my PB's last upgrade (10.4.8), I've been getting a lot of crashes of
what looks like random apps, and when I look in the Console log, what
I see is stuff like these two most recent crashes:
UninstallGuard: TypeError: Components.classes['@mozilla.org/extensions/manager;1'] has ...

Hi, this is not a troll and I'm not looking for a flamewar.    I
searched this group for any opinions on RSS newsreaders and all of the
posts were months (if not years) old.
So, what is the current favorites among the group?

Ok, I loaded botcamp; I burned the Mac drivers; I loaded WinXP Service
Pac 2; I loaded the Mac drivers. Now All I can do is run Windows. How
do I switch back and forth between Windows and Mac or start up in Mac,
if I want?

Hi at all
I'm sorry for the stupid question but I'm not a Mac expert so I'm
tring to ask to people knowing more than me about this argument.
I need to make an internet voice call (voip) with a person using a
