I downloaded the ClamX app no problem.  Tried to download the ClamX
Engine the installer gave me a wrong system error. I followed the link
that said OS 10.4 or higher.  I am discouraged. And need guidance. I
trashed all I downloaded because I got angry.

I bought some memory for my new (to me) mac mini.
Then I grabbed it to take it apart and put the memory in.
Problem is, I can't figure out how to get the damn thing apart without
breaking something. No screws, no slots.

is it true leopard will have a new interface? if so, then what will it
look like does any one have any screen shots or videos??

I have a new imac (bought it the week after they launched in
septermber) and set up internet with my old off brand 802.11b router.
For months there were no problems. The connection is like this:
cable modem (brand new) --> router --> computer

no login window and no password required. Not sure how long ago this ...

I'm planning to by a terrybyte remote disk and store my movies and
pictures (yes and backups) to by accessed by my XP maschine - and
shortly will be buying a macbook pro (with leopard when that is
around) that should access that data as well  but have heard on the

24" Intel iMac.
I'm not a Unix guy. Nonetheless, for quite a few years I have managed
to do what I need to do in the shell without breaking anything.
For some time now when I open Terminal.app I get this message

I don't know where to post this because I have a MBP running XP Pro.
It keeps losing its wireless connection.  Sometimes repairing the
network connection works; other times it just comes back; one time it
lost the entire configuration, wep key and all.

I had to reinstall the system after an accidental system file removal.
The system discs left the system at 10.4.5, and I used Software Update
to do an upgrade to the most recent version.  The machine in question is

I have a problem with my macbook, in that it doesn't seem to be able
to find my keyboard when it starts up. The keyboard is not wireless,
but is plugged into the USB port.

On our little network (mac and WinXP clients and linux servers) I would
like to share files on an iMac with a WinXP machine.  I have created an
account for the user of the winXP machine on the iMac and they can see
