    Uninstalling Apps??

    How do I uninstall a package? Is there something like "pkgrm" in OS X that will let me view all my installed packages and let me remove what I want?

    DVD Trouble

    After installing OS X, I can't play DVDs when I'm booted in OS 9. I get an error message saying "Apple DVD player can't find software it needs." I tried reinstalling the DVD software and got the same error, what's wrong? Also, I tried doing a clean install of OS 9, but when I restarted my...

    Why no outlook?

    Why did M$ stop at explorer? I want Outlook, the Mac mail program blows and I hate starting OS 9 everytime I want to check my mail. I hope we see Outlook and Office 2000 in carbon by release time!

    Will Apple really be able to increase speed?

    Will Apple really be able to increase the speed of OS X and reduce the memory requirements down to 64MB? They would have to at least double the speed to make this thing run at a decent speed on an iMac, is that really possible? Also, all iMac out there have 64MB RAM. I think it's asking too...

    Multiple consoles or desktops...

    No multiple desktops in OS X. It's the only Unix GUI not to include this. I've been submitting feedback to Apple to ask for this feature, you should too. They probably don't even read their feedback, but it's worth a shot. It should be very easy for Apple to include multiple desktops and it...
