Hi folks. OSX 10.47 G5 dual. I have a folder with a large number of
subfolders in it. In each folder is an html file. I need to make an
identical text change to each file. BBEdit is perfect for the job

I'm using the latest version of Virtual PC on my I-book.  Not very often,
especially as it runs rather slowly.  I have noticed that if I save the
settings when closing Virtual PC (I suppose that is a kind of suspend mode,

Greetings. My iMac came today.  I have been getting it set up t my liking.  I
bought the AppleCare program.  They sent me a CD with TechTool Deluxe from
Micromat.  Is the stuff on the cd really worth installing?  Thanks.
