Trying to figure out what takes Thoth so long to open, and how to fix it, but so

I'm running Thoth v1.8.3 on an iBook G4 operation on OS X v.10.4.4. Thoth is
installed on an external USB 2.0 hard drive.

Anyone getting any apparent calculation errors in Cyberduck
transfer displays?
I had an odd one appear this morning. Was uploading an archived

I updated my dotmac website this afternoon and when I opened iWeb with
which to do it, a got a whole crapload of missing pictures.  It looks

I am a keen amatuer wildlife photographer & have recently developed my
own small online image library. Currently there are only 200 or so
images, but some I believe are quite good. All images are royalty free
& just £3 each to download, even cheaper if you subscribe to a monthly

Hi. I just bought Iwork this evening.  I put in the DVD installer and
double-clicked on the "Install iWork '06" icon.  Double-clicking it
launched Stuffit Expander.  Stuffit Expander then gave me the error "The

When burning recordings from Eye TV 2.3.3 to Toast 8 using LG DVD-R 1-8x
blanks, I had two writes to fail and on the third try I got an error -39
(end of file.)  I've not had any problems with these disks writing at 2x
speed.  I tried a GQ 16x DVD-R, which I had been using, and ...

I wish... I wish... I wish that Get Info would show a brief
description of what an app does. Some I have that I have never
actually got to use and have forgotten but now and again find
time to wonder about.

I have searched, I have looked in groups and online forums. Can't find
a really simple way to close the Dashboard. It does nothing for me,
just sits there, takes up RAM. I NEVER use it. Some forums say to type

Aloha everyone,
I was thinking of purchasing iLife and iWork, but was waiting for June,
assuming that they would be release around the same time as Leopard.  
Now, knowing that Leopard has been delayed until October, I'm in a bit

I've installed XP Pro with BootCamp on my new MacBook with a tiny 80 GB
harddisk. It boots into Windows as it should.
Usually, though, I will prefer to boot into MacOS X and then access
Windows from Parallels. And this should be possible - according to the

Hi. I use a G4 Cube running at 450 Mhz.  I went to the Apple Store today
to purchase Iwork '06 but the listed processor requirements on the
packaging says the software requires a 500 mhz G4.  The difference is
only 50mhz so I asked one of the Geniuses at the store whether the

Mail 2.1, iBook G4,  OS 10.4.9
I received a mail message from a friend.  When I open it, *it contains
the message from my niece.*  (Niece had sent a couple messages to me  on
the same day.  Neither knows the other.)  

My Intel iMac came with a trial version of Microsoft Office 2004, at least
I think it did :). Anyway I got my registration number from the university
I work at and used it to register that trial version on the Mac.
It all works fine of course, but in the "About" window for each ...
