one.
Also, thanks for the heads up on my friends G4 Mac Mini.  When she
started it up, we got a major chord, then three loud hisses, then three

As one of the Mac "support" portals totally became FUD machine after
Leopard, I better post this to Usenet.
Disk Warrior Version 4 is all fine when run from OS X 10.4.10 and has
tiny, cosmetic, trivial issues which will be fixed when run under OS X

In the function below i select a random ASCII character (A-Z) which
must be pressed by a user.
The ASCII character is generated by printing a character in octal
notation. I need to compare

I'm done with the mighty mouse. I love the little thing but I've gone
through 4 of them now. Two wired and two wireless. Last one got
horribly confused and would insist the right button is the left. One
before that the roller ball just stopped working. First one just up and

Seems to me that with Tiger, I would choose a folder to save a file in
and the next time the save dialog box came up, it was on the same
folder I'd chosen last.  With Leopard, that seems to no longer be the
case. I seem to recall the old Mac OS9 system had a 3rd-party utility

Thanks for posting how to turn off the 3-D dock.  Would you also be so

articles appropriately, but it doesn't show new articles numbered in

have a 120Gb in drive B which I only use for storage. I want to keep

I've been trying to configure dr queue on my new leopard install. Each
time I try to install it atk and pango fail to build. Below is the

Any help would be appreciated. I'm at a loss.

I have been persistently unable to get NTP (network time)

Hello again.
I arrived home this afternoon to find my PowerMac very much OFF.  I'd
left it in Sleep mode.  Pressing the power button made it light up dimly
for as long as I held it in, then........

Is there a way to rename the new Guest Account that is a part of
Leopard?
When I installed Leopard, I already had a 'Guest Account' on my
machine, which meant that the Leopard installer created the new

Does the newest version of OS X still allow running of OS 9 applications
on computers that could run OS 9 using OS 10.4?

It would so nice if Opera had Help info on each Preference option.  In
fact what would be awesome if pop up help files appeared when the
mouse hovered over
Anyway I did a search for this under OS X and there was only 1 hit and

OK, I've known for a while that I shouldn't have my main, everyday
account as an admin account, but it currently is. Since I have a lot of
files in this user folder, I don't want to eliminate it. I have created
