    iChat, AIM and Norton

    Sorry to flog a very dead horse. I have searched the forums for an answer but couldn't find anything specific. Apologies if I've missed it. I was very successfully using iChat AV to video chat with my Windozer mum who runs XP. I'm on osx 10.3.9. I thought I was one of only three people in the...

    Buying a Mac... What keyboard layout?

    Dunno about MacBook, but with my iBook (OsX 10.3.9) I have it set to Brit English keyboard layout, and I type en español sin cambiar el teclado. If I need an accent I type Option e followed by the vowel in question (á, é, í etc). For ñ it's Option n and then n again. ¿Me explico? easterhay

    Morning - the task bar is quite a handy feature when you only have a few things running, but once you've got multiple apps and windows open, exposé knocks the task bar into a cocked hat. Missing Manuals is a very good book for demystifying unfamiliar features for us converts. Happy...

    What Changed You???

    Tired of viruses. Tired of autoformatting (man, I r-e-a-l-l-y hate Word's obsession with autoformat) Tired of system crashes. Tired of incomprehensible user interfaces. Tired of bizarre and pointless programme shortcomings (why shouldn't I be allowed to start page numbering at, say, page 3...

    iBook temperatures

    Hi y'all. I live and work in a pretty hot climate (up to 40C). My 12" iBook is my main computer and I have it on all day and sometimes through the night, though not recently as we've had some brutally hot weather. I worry that the little mite gets hot and isn't meant to be used so exhaustively...
