application to open it.  It does not load and execute automatically.  
Under Activity monitor, nothing regarding Stunnel can be seen.

My built-in Bluetooth in Mini isn't responding.
I can turn it on and off, but it won't validate any device.
I've reseted PRAM/NVRAM, reboot the Mini few times, delete any files
with "bluetooth" in name - nothing works.

I am systematically trying to resolve some problem which has lead to
multiple applications crashing.  Using the advice from thexlab.com, I am
investigating whether font problems are the culprit.
I downloaded Font Doctor and attempting to use it in demonstration mode

How lame can Apple get?  Everytime you upgrade from, say,
Panther to Tiger, they just wipe out any important files

I know this is probably a long shot, but does anyone know how to get
AppleWorks to actually print EPS images?
There appears to be a bad bug in AppleWorks that makes it useless for
simple in-house desktop publishing. No matter what image format you use

This is an Intel iMac 20", Core Duo with 2 Gigs of RAM, OS 10.4.6.  It has
been a couple of weeks since the last software update.  Software Update
currently says I need to install iPod Updater and QuickTime 7.1.1.
Starting yesterday, the little "spinning spokes" wheel freezes during ...

This is a very basic/beginner security question.
I don't really understand completely what a firewall does. However on
our home office network we have a router (Netgear RT314) between the DSL
modem and our computers. When I originally set up our LAN, I understood

Not that piddly list in System Preferences > Keyboard and Mouse.
I mean things like Shift+Command+Q for logging out.  There are lots more
that I seem to activate by accident.  If I don't know what a shortcut
