Family friend works in a school which uses an ePortal system that
appears to work on IE only. Nasty glitches when used in Firefox, and
plain odd operation when used in Safari - sometimes works, sometimes
doesn't.

I need to OMR about 6 sheets of music. I've currently spent about 5% of the
time looking for software than it would take me to manually input it into
Logic but there might be more in the future for other projects (personal
projects these, not fee-paying sadly).

I recently bought an Intel iMac from Jigsaw Systems, to use for
professional archival recording.  As discussed in another thread, I
found OSX difficult to use - but far more serious was the problem I had
with Peak, which would only record a loud hiss.

I think this happened yesterday, but it looks like a number of episodes
from a number of current and recent BBC shows are now on iTunes. At
last we're getting non-US "content" in our store^Wshop :-)

Anyone else getting a page full of broken link icons when visiting the
iTunes store for the fist time during the session? If I click on the
Home icon in iTunes to reload the page it manages to download some of

Trying to shut down my G4 MDD and it is just sitting there with the cogwheel

I get the feeling this is just me, but does anyone else experience this
habit of Finder closing when a disk/image is unmounted using the Finder
side bar icon? (Leopard 10.5.1 and .2, on an Intel iMac and a Mini)
Is it supposed to this?

In my GarageBand installation (v 4.1.1 under Mac OS X 10.5.2) all of the
software instruments seem to work except those based on the Tonewheel
Organ generator.
If I set any other instrument to use that generator, it falls silent.

Is there a tool to convert WIndows Lotus Freelance Graphics files (.prz)
into something readable and editable on a Mac?

If you have Little Snitch 2.01 running, do you need to have the Firewall as
well. Do they do the same job.
According to the AppleTV forum, the 10.5.1 firewall is causing sync problems
to ATV.

I've been using Parallels under 10.4 for a while, and decided last week
it'd be half useful to be able to run windows under both Parallels and
boot camp. So I've set about upgrading to 10.5, splitting the HD etc
