really like an entry in my Services menu that pipes text I've selected
into Perl or PHP scripts as STDIN and returns the output result.
This way I could make my own text factories. This would work a lot

As a recent convert to Mac from Windows, I'm thoroughly confused over
how to set default applications and icons in OSX.

There's one program -- the email program Entourage -- that I want to
keep running constantly because it's set up to auto-respond, but people
occasionally quit it accidentally, and it might be hours before anyone

I don't remember this being an issue prior to 10.4.7, but I've been
using 10.4.7 since it was available via Software Update and I've only
had this trouble for the past week to ten days.  Basically, my machine

I know very easily how to do this on PC using Outlook and imagine it is

Hoping I might be able to get some help here.  I have started a new
position in a small mac based office, but my background is Windows

backup solution in place but its awkward to say the least. I would like
