Perfessor, no need to bring firearms into the discussion or personal attacks. No doubt the features you've mentioned are present--you simply have to spend several hours looking for them. As it is, I've already spent too many hours working with the latest version of OmniOutliner. May I suggest...

I appreciate the imput, but the key word was SIMPLE. I've tried the Omni demo, and it's hardly as user friendly as the old Thinking Cap program. Omni has all these bullets and arrows; the program I was speaking of simply would allow you to decend to another hierarchy with a simple touch of the...

Greetings, All; Does anyone remember a very easy to use outline processor for the ancient Commodore 64 called "Thinking Cap"? It did everything you'd expect an outliner to do with a minimum of fuss, just hit enter or tab to move to another heading or subheading. I find it amazing that neither...

Thank you! I used the page with your answer on it to create that link and recreate the icon. Wish that new "Mac OS X Tiger for Dummies" book mentioned that, but I found the book poorly written. I couldn't figure out how to burn a backup disc using it; I'll have to wait for "The Missing Manual"...

Greetings All, A truly silly question, but the solution has eluded me, being new to the eMac. I accidentally removed the OS X Icon from the Dock, now I can't seem to find it again to restore it to the Dock? Can anyone tell me how this undoubtably simple operation is done? And where is the OS X...

Gentlemen, Thank you for your insight on plists, and the list of plist deletions. These worked and Finder Help now functions. (I was a bit nervous about changing accounts, since I'm a creature of habit and have used the same info on various computers including mainframes for two decades, but...

Sorry, the attempt to dump Library/Caches/com.apple.helpui didn't work. Still open to further suggestions....

Thank you for your suggestions. I did use Disk Utility as you recommended, and used it several times to repair permissions, but to no avail insofar as launching Finder Help. (After the initial repair, Disk Utility didn't find any conflict.) I checked the Accounts utility, but since I'm the only...

If your VIDEO_TS folder causes Popcorn to crash, chances are you haven't updated Popcorn to version 1.0.3 to make it compatible with Tiger. If you download the Popcorn upgrade/patch for Tiger, make sure you have only the 1.0.3 version loaded on your hard drive. I had accidentally loaded versions...

Once I upgraded Popcorn to version 1.0.3--no earlier version will function properly if you have Tiger installed--I found the program useful and user friendly. Be aware that Popcorn will not copy DVDs that are copy-protected unless you use "ripping" software, such as Mac The Ripper, available as...

At the risk of testing the forbearance of those reading this who are more experienced with Mac, I noticed an odd problem with Finder, i.e., when I try to use the "Help" option, a blank window and the life saver icon appears for a split second, then vanishes. I seem to recall that the Finder Help...

Thanks for your imput about Entourage's Project Center. Like you, I thought it a nice idea, but you're probably right: taking the time to learn to use Project Center would absorb as much time as actually putting a project together using Mac's already built-in programs. While I'll investigate...

Symphonix, Extremely compelling reasons not to use Entourage's mail function. Special thanks for your observation about message size, and I will make note of that in the future. Do you have any thoughts about the Project Center? As for mail, I think I will be sticking to Apple Mail as my mail...

Greetings All, I'm new to owning a Mac (and eMac) and while I intensely dislike Microsoft, perforce I have to use MS Word for Mac. Since I have the Office for Mac, the program Entourage seems useful, but am nervous about using it exclusively for mail and other functions, given its source. One...
