IIRC, in Classic if I changed the size or position of a finder window, I
wouldn't have to make that change the next time I opened that window.

be entirely visible, so I drag it toward the center of the desktop. ...

I'm helping a friend solve periodic disconnect problem with her Airport
Express and DSL. I've heard about cordless phone interference with
AExpress. Is the issue the phone's base station or the actual phone.
IOW, if my friend plugs the phone's base far away from the AE but keeps

In OSX each user has the standard folders - "Movies", Applications",
"Documents", "Music".  How do I put one user's "Music" folder on a
separate disk from the OSX operating system and make sure that iTunes
uses that folder.?

We keep a lot of files on the DT, including the icons for the three
partitions of the internal hard disk.
On boot, the icons for the documents, pictures etc stay where they were
when last shut down but the icons for the HD partitions can end up

I have a San Disk CF card reader  SDDR-92 connected to the USB 2 socket
on a 1.25 G Imac. Under 10.3.9 simply inserting a card in the reader
caused the card to appear on the desktop and launched image capture.

My iPhoto app all of a sudden will not load any photos.  When I open it,
the iphoto window appears, but there is nothing in it.  The little wheel
grinds away, and says it is loading photos, but nothing further happens.
Recently I fixed several photos in photoshop from a certain ...

I apologize if this has been answered someone in here before.  I have

In my home lan, I have 4 macs (2 Powerbooks, and intel iMac, and an
intel Macbook Pro). My wife has a Windows machine on the same lan.
A few days ago, I started experiencing a big slowdown in page loads
with Firefox on the iMac. I thought at first my ISV was at fault.

I have put Firefox and Realplayer onto my Mac, but am left with them on
my desktop as 'disk images' (whatever that means - sorry not
'technical' and am fairly new to Macs!).

How much will anyone sell me a copy of TIGER OSX 10.4 and iLIFE 06 for

How do you network computers via Airport?

I am using my Mac as an X Window server. The xterms and other apps that
I use have no borders. That makes things confusing when the windows

CoreDuo Temp. However, last night, I was using it for web surfing, and
