I see that there are new options for folders put into the dock now. You
can choose to view as list which is very much like the behaviour we used
to have when ctrl-clicking in 10.4 and earlier.
You also can have it such that the icon doesn't change with the contents

Does anyone know a way to make Quick Look use the entire screen to
display images as large as possible?
Thanks.

I can't get my LaCie Porsche DVD/CD burner to override the internal Mac
burner in my aluminum iMac 2.4. In other words the LaCie isn't
recognized when a blank is in it. I'd like to copy a CD from the Mac
burner to the LaCie. How do I do that? Thanks!

I've completed the updates successfully, along with the graphical
update. Did 2 restarts, and according to the release notes, the
transparent menus options should be in the Desktop & Screensavers

One of the two drives in my LaCie 500GB Firewire hard drive stopped

these 20GB drives a couple of months ago from the W2K Server at my

I want to do a clean install.  But I don't want to have to re-install
my applications.  Or re-enter all my data.
I've been seeing some buggy behavior from Leopard, which I assume is
caused by some 3rd party apps that  have modified some essential parts
