I will -hopefully- very soon get a MacBook Pro (2.16GHz, 1GB). But I am
required to get somehow PowerPoint running on my laptop. The solutions
I am considering:
* Get Office for Mac

Trying to put a menu together for a restaurant.  Is there a template
others might have developed for such a task?

I am ready to switch from iPhoto to Aperture and would appreciate some
advice on the best way to handle my existing library of digital images. I
have all the latest versions of iLife, Aperture and OS X and am running a
dual processor G5 Power Mac. Once I have brougt the library into ...

Er - I'd be most grateful for a suggestion to solve this oddity:
I upgraded to 10.4.9. Then I found that it's not compatible with Final
Cut Pro 4.5. I installed 10.4.6, then did the 4.7 and 4.8 upgrades.
Somehow in all that lot isync managed to commit hara-kiri.

The 10.4.9 release notes say that they fixed the problem where alarms
pop up off the edge of the screen.  Not so!
It's fixed if iCal is running, but if you get an alarm when iCal is not
running it still pops up mostly off-screen.

I'm wondering if anyone out there knows a way to batch convert Word 5.1
files, either to the current version of Word or (even better) to a
common format like RTF. Can anyone help?

Use this program on my Mac Mini PPC, and browsing the PDF Documentation;
note the following: Important! Every Quicken data file has the file
extension .qdfm (which stands for Quicken Data File Mac). We recommend
that you do not remove this file extension.

Graphicconverter usually opens jpegs at 100%, 1 screen pixel per file
pixel.  If the file has more pixels than the screen, I have to scale it
down to see it all without scrolling.
By default, Preview scales down a picture like that to the biggest size

How do I copy this to my LaCie firewire drive? If I drag it over all it
makes is an alias?

I'm wondering if anyone has observed something odd with Panic's Transmit.
After I upgraded the OS of my 20" Intel iMac to 10.4.9 the buttons at the
top of the window have apparently mostly disappeared when I launch the
application. Minimising to dock then bringing it back sorts ...

Is there any way to set the window manager behavior on Mac OS X such
that it will focus on the window under the mouse pointer, without
having to click it? After using Linux for several years, I find this
feature quite quite comfortable, and wish I could have it in OS X.

I use macsoup, which doesn't appear able to killfile according to
references- e.g. so that a thread started by a particular poster would
be completely ignored. (Can it?) Any ideas for another one? I don't read
binary newsgroups.

anyone know of a software that will do this on a mac system? i know
there are a few for pc.

when i send an email with an attachement (pdf file appx 2mb) it
