Can anyone suggest a find-a-word (word find) application (preferably
shareware) that can be used on mac os X??

I wonder if anyone can throw some light on this peculiar thing that's
happened since I bought my MiniMac. I have the old iMac and a PC laptop
networked with it via a wireless/ethernet router. It may be coincidental
that it happened at the same time, but when I click on the network ...

Has anybody put a dvd burner into an emac, and if so how and which one

Just about everyone is going to think me nuts but can i ditch system os x on

Installed Windows XP on their Intel Mac, that is.
Curious to know how it ran...sluggish?

I am wondering if anyone has run a Mac Mini (or another Mac) using a

send an icon for the image rather than the image itself ?

I have a Powermac 7200/120 with a full length PCI card that is intended to allow the
Mac to run MSDOS and Windows. How do I boot the 7200 to DOS or Windows and

I am going completely nuts!
I finally decided to try to integrate my life with all the good things
osx has to offer, by giving up on Eudora after many faithful years so I
could do things like accept appointments in iCal etc.

I'm going to buy an iBook shortly and am wondering how to share our home
broadband internet connection with another computer. I'm not sure about
the difference between an Airport and an Airport Express. Do I still
need an ADSL modem to connect to the internet with these things or do

Man I have found this site that has the cheapest ink for any printer.

A friend wants to get ADLS and (naturally) wants to go wireless to save
the wiring efforts.
He has 2 old G3 iMacs, (400 and 500 Mhz)  - neither has airport cards.
