of my quicktime clips sideways. (it's been over 2 years) My quicktime
player will not rotate it but I understand that quicktime pro will,

I just got an email message that contains a text part that claims to be

My wife wants to keep her Earthlink e-mail address, but would like
mail to also pick up any mail sent to her .mac address.   We are also
thinking about switching from DSL to cable (Keeping Earthlink at a

Something strange has happened to Hogwasher on my G4 Quicksilver running
 OS X 10.4.10. The original user account has been deleted, but I've
been trying to restore everything I can on a recreated admin user
account (yes, I deleted the old account using "Delete Immediately," like ...

I'm compiling a page of Safari menu items and what they all do.  I
know most of the usual stuff and the help files are pretty good, but
I'm struggling with some of the Debug menu items.

I'd like to know if I can play songs stored in externel hard drive
