I'm moving lots of files around in Finder and finding it is a torture.  
Icon View wastes space so that cannot be considered.  If I want cartoons
I'll turn on the cartoon channel on TV.  
List View doesn't allow the full length of the name to be displayed even

I have a client that is has an issue with printing web pages and  email
from Netscape 7.2.  He has a G5 and is running 10.4.6.  The issue is
that when he tries to print, it looks like the print job goes to the
printer queue but does make it and it does not give an error.  When I

Well, after putting my hands on the new MacBook at the store the other
day, I ordered one to replace my iMac G4.  It should be here next week.
I can't wait!
It occurs to me, though, that I might want to run Windows on the thing

somehow my MacMini seems to panic roughly once a month. Since I use
it as a VCR I would like it to boot afterwards automatically without
intervention. Can this be set somehow?

Anyone know of a free Office Suite that wil lrun on 192 megs of ram? I
was going to use Neo Office, but I need a lot more ram for that.....

I want to upgrade the HDD in my Imac G3 to a larger one. Right now
there is a 20 gig one in there, I am assuming that is is a 5400 rpm
drive. Can I swap it a 7200?? or would that run too hot for the Imac???

I'm thinking about purchasing a new Macbook Pro, but I'm concerned
about hard discs performance/battery consumption. 5400s are a bit slow
and 7200s make the book a little battery-hungry.
But I heard about this new integrated-memory-based hard disc by Samsung

Can anyone comment on their experience running XP on a Macbook (13")?
Smooth? Issues? Oddities?? Is 1GB RAM a must?
Call me crazy, but I was actually considering having two hard drives:
my primary Mac-only drive and then one with Boot Camp.  I'll only need

I have an intel duo core mini with 1 gig of memory. Can I replace one of
the 512 chips with a 1 gig chip now and switch the other one later?

I am a new Mac OS X user. I have recently gotten an Intel based Mac
book laptop. Unfortunately, I am not able to even start using it
seriosly because I am having serious problems with fonts in web
browsers and e-mail readers. Specifically, I m looking to use Firefox

how can i copy a dvd to my computer...i have a G5 macintosh.

I admit it, I liked the old Apple OSs like 8.6
They were simple, no stinkin' permissions to worry about.
Never had even one tiny bit of malware, in all the years that I surfed
the Web.

I installed the trial version of iWork from the CD which came with
Tiger. Everything works fine, and the manual is there as a PDF file.
But I'm puzzled: The manual file is named something.app. However,
doubleclicking opens it in Acrobat, so it's obviously a PDF. But it's

For a picture show with iPhoto 6, I need a long music file.
So i want to append together two or three MP3 files,
to get a 15 minutes music play.
What's the tool to do that ?

I bought a Belkin 375VA battery backup unit to give me time to
gracefully shut down the G5 the next time PG&E has one of their
momentary power failures -- something that seems to happen at least once
a month where I live.
