Any users of National Geographic's TOPO! on the Mac lurking out there?
I use it occasionally for marking and annotating backcountry ski trails
and GPS waypoints on maps (I'm not attempting to connect it directly to
any live GPS receiver); and while I like some of its features, I ...

Works OK?
Are G4-specific builds available?  (the Universals are massive)

I have been collecting all the packages and receipts thru
Panther and Tigar. Any reason why one wouldn't burn them to
a DVD and delete them? They are running into multigigs of
hard disk space.

Is there a way to alphabetize bookmarks within folders, and folders
within collections, in Safari 3 beta?
If so, haven't found it, and miss that feature from Netscape.

In mail, Blinky has expressed interest in the kinds of thread graphs that
Hogwasher and MacSOUP provide.
I'm having trouble using Grab to get a picture of the Hogwasher thread
window.  That Hogwasher window (and only that window) disappears when I

I know I've seen it mentioned, so I thought perhaps someone here could
solve a puzzle for me.  I've been rather obsessively converting old
cassettes(some of which are already dying) and LPs to .mp3 with
Audiophile and Audacity.  Periodically Audacity freezes on me--usually

Are there any wordprocessors (not DTP programs as InDesign, Quark etc) that
utilise the special features of OpenType type faces, such as small caps and
lower case numerals etc? If one choose "small caps" in Word (older versions at

A year ago I switched ISPs and when deleting the old
server from Mac Mail, it took the liberty of deleting all
of my old saved email that I very much wanted to keep.
So, now I am looking at another ISP switch and don't want

Anyone had experience with the Mighty Mouse? I was considering
getting one (with cord, so no probs about wireless or battery
will affect) but reading some comments, people are complaining
about scroll button being impossible to clean when clogged. Is

When I run Safari I note in the handy-dandy access I have in the
console via Path Finder this inscrutable error:

My MBPro is only two weeks old and has iLife '08 preinstalled.
When Leopard is released I want to make a clean install but save the iLife
applications that came pre-installed and transfer them to Leopard (so I don't
have to purchase iLife ´08 separately)

Hey People
Thanks for helping this recent apple convert out with your patience and wisdom.
It turns out that I just had to set my Pixel Aspect Ratio to square,
don’t ask me why, it just made it work. If anyone cares to comment on

The process is simple: start by downloading the QuickTime 7 Pro from
the Apple website. If you have a Mac computer, simply upload your
movie to your computer and click on the title of the movie in the drop
down box found on the QuickTime program menu.

I have grasped the two modes in Pages 2 (word processing and page
layout), as they had been layered on top of another.
Now with Pages 3 I have difficulty - how do I switch a document from one
mode to the other? I like to have the modes separate instead of layered,
