(v10.5.5) to copy the DVD to my iMac hard drive, where it is stored as
a .dmg file.  After expanding, the .dmg file creates a folder called

I'm Outraged! Thoroughly Pissed!! But, perhaps I may also be a little

It's been a long time since I bought a computer game online. When I
found a link pointing to a Monopoly game, for $20 I jumped and bought

I was reading messages in MT-NewsWatcher, and wanted to find an older
message in a thread.   I tried clicking on what I saw in the header, but
that didn't work.
So I read the help, opened it again with Option and downloaded 2500

I have a DVD my botherer (er, brother, damn typos!) sent me of his trip
to Florida last year.  Anyway, there's a part of the audio track that I
want to get to and turn into an mp3 to torment him with (hey, it's a

I was reading a newsgroup and someone created a bunch of idiot messages,

I exited the newsgroup, re-opened it, and his messages were still there

Does anyone know if when Mail is checking for new mail, there is any
visual indication that should be showing as the program is checking the
server (little spinning wheel in upper left is missing in Leopard
version) and is there a way to increase the beep sound when Mail

I imported pictures and MPG's into Iphoto, but when I click on a movie, it opens Quick Time, but does not play the
movie. I also have VLC player on my system, but do not understand how to associate mpg and other movie formats to it, so
that when I click on a movie <avi,mpg,wmv> it ...

I'm glad I keep my old pre-Mac e-mail in both Mail & Thunderbird.
My problem is, when my server rejects my password, Mail opens with a
small box asking for my password, with a check box to add it to my
keychain.   I open up Thunderbird, find the e-mail that gave me my

I'm trying to find my iCal data file.  
I have looked for .ics files, and I have looked at the Today smart
