Well, i didn't exactly forget it, but it is Latin America and i was thinking more of the US... But if we are talking about Continental America then yes, you are absolutely correct; in fact there are still welsh speaking communities in Patagonia and there are regular "twinning" events organised...

This is true although I believe that the number of welsh who migrated to America has been distorted by the fact that immigration controls probably made little distinction between Welsh and English and most welsh immigrants would have been categorised as english (or possibly even Irish or...

Araf means "slow" Incidentally, on the subject of Welsh patronymics, it's not widely realised that America owes its name to a Welsh patronymic. Although it has been widely taught that America was named after Amerigo Vespucci there has always been little evidence to support this. A more cogent...

Welsh/Cymraeg. i regret to say i'm not as fluent in it as Rhisiart (that's Welsh for Richard) Dwin dod o Caerfili a'r Cwm Rhymni, BTW Rhis. Strange coincidence, I've only just returned from Tenby where we had our Samaritans regional officers' retreat. I took this photo of the moon from...

thanks Viro. I thought I'd read on a security forum somewhere that it hadn't been released as a Universal Binary yet. Thank you for setting me straight. Apple have just delivered my iMac, three days earlier than I had expected it. Despite being a refurb, as far as I can tell it's flawless

Swt 'wy ti Rhisiart! As a former psychologist (and current Samaritan) I'm with Voltaire on this one. People find their own solutions, but sometimes the process needs facilitation...

Thanks guys, I've not used Migration Assistant before, it looks typically user friendly so let's hope for a simple upgrade. Anyone know if PGP9 runs OK on Intel? There's no UB yet apparently but it should run in Rosetta shouldn't it?

Apologies if anyone has asked this q if they have perhaps someone could link me to the appropriate FAQ. My G4 anglepoise iMac has just died and i've taken the plunge and ordered an Intel iMac. I have routinely kept bootable clones of my OSX installation on external hard drives so that if...

MM works with 3.9, but you lose most of the really cool functions like horizontal scrolling and application switching from the ball-button. The bugs are annoying but not enough to make me give up on it. It just irritates me that the whole thing seems so unfinished. It's not what i expect from a...

Follow-up Yes it is as I thought. Even with the mouse plugged into a main USB port on the back of the machine, it isn't picked up by the OS until it's unplugged and reconnected. Scratch that idea then...

I don't think it's a hardware issue; as i have pointed out, the mouse works fine in 10.4.2. Perhaps some of the changes Apple have made (or "improvements" as they like to call them) have affected the way in which the OS detects devices connected through a USB hub. I have a basic hub which...

No i know, i just chose to do it that way, as I had already tried a straight install... Off topic: the spelling correction of Ockham was not really necessary; Occam's razor is an alternative latin spelling of Ockham. It was William of Ockham, an english theologian who first devised the simple...

I think the Lexmark issue is irrelevant so i shouldn't really have included that; haven't been able to uncompress the driver on any operating system, Mac, windows or Linux

I don't think so because it works fine in 10.4.2

I installed the software when i was running 10.4.2; this version of Tiger was fine. when I upgraded to 10.4.3 my Mighty Mouse preference pane was replaced with a generic mouse pane the only options for which were to choose left or right buttons as the primary button. Attempting to activate the...
