I'm always inadvertently increasing the size of my open window
to where the lower right "draggable edge" moves out of sight.
The only way I've been able to re-size it again is to change the monitor

Last night I put my 10.4.8 PowerPC G5 iMac to sleep and this morning my
audio output is disabled. I've gone into my Sound control panel and it

to set up "hotspots" that trigger events (i.e. someone comes into the

We're considering getting a 17" MacBook Pro to allow using ArcGis, a

I just migrated back to macintosh after enduring seven long years in the
windows world. I love my new macbook but do not like the filing system. I
just can't figure out how to easily file documents where I want them. I
can't open two folders and move files to and fro. Is there a way ...

Last question(s) for tonight.
Is there any difference between the disk image installers? The first
package I installed, I dragged the package only within the install
window, and it figured out what I meant. The next package did nothing

I'm using Microsoft Entourage to post this and although I've looked I can't
seem to find an Application that came with my OSX Tiger (iMac G5) that
allows access to the USENET / Newsgroups.  Am I just missing something here?
Is there an Apple, supplied, application that allows use of ...
