Help!  What file do I trash to get rid of Finder preferences?  Any

A good friend of mine is running Leopard on her pre-Intel laptop. Things will
be going fine and then all of a sudden the desktop "freezes". When this
happens only the cursor is active, all of the desktop icons can neither be
moved or activated. A reboot restores the desktop to ...

So, any guesses as to whether today's announcements will be enough to

Does anybody know if the 2 memory risers in the Mac Pro are generic or
are they an Apple proprietary item?  And can you run the computer with

My laser printer died recently, and I am debating getting a usb $150
replacement laser, or just using my HP all-in-one inkjet for all my
printing.  I am weighing the cost of ink versus the life cycle of the
toner and the longevity of the current generation low end lasers.

I like drawing out designs of things freehand with pencil and paper but
eventually I need to transfer them to the computer.  My artistic skills
are abysmal so I need something very basic.  Any recommendations?  The
designs are all straight lines, no curves, if that makes any ...

Is there any software to monitor and log incoming and outgoing packets
for the Mac that is simple to use and doesn't require compiling from

I just need something that would tell me who was downloading or

When starting Front Row in Tiger, the desktop not only fades away, but
pulls back. In Leopard, it just fades away. Is there any way to make the
Front Row startup in Leopard work the way it does in Tiger?
