A friend insists on using Entourage for mail, and he's run into an odd
problem: it won't send any mail with an attachment. Any mail with an
attachment just sits there in the out box, and eventually times out. Mail
with no attachments is sent fine.

Another tool request.
is there anything out there that will allow you to post directly to Blogger

from iPhoto?

My sister is planning to get a Lacie mini hard drive (probably the 320 GB
version) to use as a back-up drive with her Mac mini.
I've seen some reviews of this drive (although I think mainly for the 500 GB
version) which complain that the drive is very noisy. (e.g. on this page:

Has anyone installed the Microsoft Silverlight plugin on their Mac? How does
it behave?
Related to this: Has anyone looked at the new Microsoft Expression Studio

I found an old wad of Epson photo quality inkjet paper - the coated stuff -
but I don't have an inkjet printer. Would it be safe to feed it to a 4-pass
laser printer?

I have just started to try out the demo of Aperture and it is beginning

organising images for me - an Aperture seems to offer more ease

Hi Chums
I have a new shiny 8gb iPod Nano (hurrah), but I have just found out I
have to upgrade to 0SX 10.4.8 (waaaaaa)
So... Given that I have a G5 iMac ppc, can I just buy an old copy of

I have White 13' Macbook. It's been 1 year for using this laptop.
The keyboard spot where my wrists rest ( the sides right next to the
touch pad) became green !! :(
I think this is oil or something from my wrists..

I'm looking to upgrade my MacBook's hard drive. Before I jump in does
anyone have any recommendations?
I'm looking for around 160GB+ and 5400RPM, for reduced heat and better
power consumption over 7200RPM drives.

What is it about the Documents and Downloads folders on the dock that
makes them "Stacky"?
And despite the general dislike of the concept it is occasionally useful
and would be more so if I could apply it to other folders.

I'm amazed that double-clicking on a word doesn't select the entire
