takes ages (they are on NFS volumes, which also must be ...

I'm having problems printing a black & white photo on a Canon i965. When I
select plain paper it prints b&w ok, if I select Glossy Photo Paper the

to wait for a more up to date version of Gimp to come out?

For the sake of not having to retype everything, please refer to this
post.  I'd greatly appreciate it.  Basically Adobe CS2 won't run on my

... I configured iChat for Jabber with Google. It works fine. :-)
I put it in the Dock and in System Preferences/Accounts/Login Items. I
checked the "Hide" checkbox there but when I log back in, the iChat

I have just switched to a Mac.  For some reason when people recieve an
email from me, instead of originally saying From: Jo Blogs, it now says

How do I change this back to Joe Blogs.

I just started my PowerBook G4 (10.3.9) and held the CD eject button
down - silly me, I thought this would eject the CD which was in the
