...but I had to pay a heavy price.
I had to read a man page.  It was a terrible experience.
Hope this does not ruin my reputation about never reading man pages,
because then I would be banned from the point-and-click society.

Finally my Tiger installation disks arrived after much hassle about
buying the dvd version, then having to send it off and having it
replaced by the cds.   I have the rounded base iMac and installing disk

For quite some time, long before the inclusion of Spotlight as part of Mac OS
X, I have been using LaunchBar as a means of launching applications. I am now
giving Spotlight a try, although, unless I am somehow wrong, Spotlight

I am seeking advice as to what my best options are inside my budget
(£2,000).
I have always used PCs so the Mac will be a new experience for me and I
think its time for a change. At the moment I have a self-built Athlon 2800,

I've been a PC person but my 7 yr old homebuilt is in need of

I have an imac with windows installed on it.  After installing the MAC
Drivers my keyboard just randomely locks up.  The caps lock key turns
on and you can not do anything until you reboot? has anyone seen

I know it's available -- I just don't know how to get it

Whenever I click on the address bar or anything other than the
bookmarks bar, it quits. Just started after I upgraded my OS to 10.4.7.
Has anyone experienced this? If so, I could use some help as this is a
real drag!

Every time I start up my Mac - the Hard Disk icon is located in a
different position. I like keeping it in the upper right hand corner of
screen near the top of monitor. Is there a solution for this random
movement?

I've just found a severe disappointment in my new Mac, running OS
10.4.7. Every version of the Mac OS I've had since the first (a Mac Plus

correct cyrillic fonts. When I copy-and-paste it into Mail (OS-X
10.4.7) everything looks correct, and I have the menu setting
