Has anyone found an app written for OS X that's almost identical to MS
OneNote in features?
I'm not just looking for note-taking but organized journaling, notes,
pictures, snippets, drawings like OneNote does inside one app.

I have a online retail business and am working on always expanding my
customer database.  I never really had an organized system on the PC
but now that I'm switching to Mac I've decided it's time to get a good
system.

Having no option at this time to switch to OS X, I'm using 9.2.2 on a
Power Mac G4 (AGP graphics) with a 1.5GHz processor and 1.37GB of RAM.
I've allocated 100MB to iCab's minimum size, and 150MB to preferred
size. I never use Virtual memory. I can get a blank window when

I'm looking for a decent web browser compatible with OS 9. I vaguely
recall hearing that there was a version built upon the Mozilla or
Firefox code base. Does anyone recall the name of the application?

The website of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office

Up until Christmas last year, when I ran a Windows PC, I maintained a
Christmas Card list for my wife using Microsoft Works.  I still have the file
in .wdb format.
Now I have a G5 iMac that can't open or read the file.  Can anyone tell me if

A friend just got an iMac and is starting a small home business with a
newly formed LLC. He is not computer-savvy (or very experienced with
Macs) and needs a basic and inexpensive app to create and keep track of
invoices and paid/unpaid bills. No payroll is needed.

I am FAR from in love with what iPhoto does with my fotos, but have
manually moved the fotos into rationally-named folders where I can find
them from other applications without searching through a long string of
"rolls" with 2-3 fotos in them. I notice iPhoto still keeps using ...

Can anyone tell me if there are Avery templates for Pages !?!?

I assume that you, as do I, love Hogwasher's Subscriptions' abilities to
filter cross-posts. I urge you to consider emailing the good folks at Asar
(well, Kurt) to further enhance this ability so as to grapple with the
multiple posts from googlegroups users. While I hope that ...

I have the usual 250gb HDD in my new MAC Pro intelmac with a 120gb VM for my
XP software and data.   I have been using  Agent by Forte for about 15? yrs

This is probably a silly question, but how can I tell the difference between
my actual iDisk which appears on my desktop and a local copy? It appears as
a globe named "iDisk. I cannot eject it (I get an error message saying that
it cannot be ejected and advises me to quit ...

How can I get the stuck together and defaulted that way, so I have just
one excel window I can move around, not a window and two or three tool
bars?
