I'm using OS10.4.2 and Mail 2.0.3. When I double click on a Microsoft
Word attachment in Mail it opens with Appleworks after translation. Is
there a way to set Word as the default app for opening files with the
.doc suffix in Mail?

It is rumoured that if the Motorola ROKR iTunes phone is ever released
in Oz, it will only allow for 50 songs ( rather than the 100 as in US )
This seems rather strange, why would it ship here with half the song
capacity?

What is the difference between a TFT and an LCD monitor?

Just would like to know, is there any way   MP3 files, /mpegs that get
downloaded, they can be "labelled " with OSX labels as soon as they get on
your HD?
Instead of getting a file from the net then manually labelling it, is there

Just wondering if anyone has had experience with one aspect of this.
The program I use to print labels on to printable surface DVDs tells me
that the label should always be printed first, and then the disc
recorded. I have always done this but now have a printable DVD that has

Hey everyone. When I bought my iMac back in 2003 iLife didn't have
Garageband but the other programs, iDVD iMovie etc, was there. I've
since got a G4 Tower at work and was wondering if I copyied the
Garageband app from work onto a CD and then put it in the applications

Can't script the DVD player to open a VIDEO_TS folder on the hard disk and
play. Anyone done it?
tell application "DVD Player"

I came across a small problem when I tried to use the combine pdf pages
to make a pdf document action in Automator. There is no output and using
the action open using default application ( in the finder actions)
doesn't help either.

I just upgraded to Tiger, so I'm wasting time exploring things.
Interestingly the Flight Tracker widget tells me I can catch a plane
from Brisbane (BNE) to Mackay (MKY) via Air Jamaica Express. Hmmm... is
this yet another name for DeathStar (Jetstar)?

I have acquired a nice little Mac Classic II, with keyboard and mouse.
Being clinically insane, I'd like to add this the LAN. Is this possible,
and what gizmo should I hunt down, as it's clear that adding a NIC is not
an option. What O.S is best for networking? I want it to connect ...

I am just wondering, I have a G5 dp1.8 and it has a super drive in it.
Now I think I have heard that a "109" is out?
The one I have in it is a 106D
What is the cost of the new one and how do I go about fitting the new one in

Hey all.  A plea from the low $$ end of town. Don't throw your old tech
away! now us mac users are far  better at recycling it seams than our
near sighted PC brethren, but I still stumble across many a discarded
mac in a dumpster or alley.

Just new to Tiger and have updated my system and it says in the booklet
that it comes with Garageband but i can't seem to find it anywhere. Any
help would be great. Thanks

I've just started using Mail v2.0.2 that comes with Tiger. When I create
a new message the fields in the header (in order) are: To, Cc, Bcc,
Reply To, Subject and Account. Is there some way to display them in a
different order so I don't have to Tab four times to get to the subject

Thought I might pick your brains on this. Up to now it has suited me to
use dialup with a dedicated Telstra line from home. I run both an iMac
and a PC laptop, just using either for different purposes by plugging
them in. The time is fast apporaching where I want to get an ADSL
