get it to work at all.
How do you get an FTP client to work?
I've tried several GUI clients as well as the terminal FTP command and they

This is so weird and fortunately it does not happen often.  What happens
is that two (or more) keys switch functions... like today X became Y and
Y became X.  But *only* in Notetaker.  My keyboard mapping was just fine

into a CD. My google search turned up a program that would do this on a

I decided to get rid of my Mac Mini and my Windows laptop and desktop

A quick question - for which I hope there is a simple answer.
I have my hard disk partitioned into five partitions.  Of which only 2
I use regularly.

I'm new to Macs and have purchased a Macbook Pro, bundled with Airport
Express. I'd like to get a wired DSL modem-router to plug into AE that
will also work with an XP PC. Any suggestions and/or tips would be
appreciated--many thanks in advance.

Hopefully this is a quick one for the group.  I find that when I use MS
Word the toolbars that are currently open cover the document.  The
documents all open right under the menu bar and any open toolbars are

see all files,  hidden ones included, in the finder window?
Thanks

I have been unable to print on HP Laserjet 1000 using the Intel Mac
Book Pro and 10.4.7 OS. I can't find the driver for it to run on an
Apple OS either.
Has anyone gotten this printer to print using an Intel Mac? If yes then
