No, actually I've chosen to comment on your being a disturbed, out of touch with reality, LIAR. You're right about one thing. If you are so disturbed that you are completely out of touch with reality, you shouldn't be posting in a public forum, or associating with normal people.

I'd admit that I was wrong, if I was wrong. But not only am I not wrong, if you go back and read my posts carefully you will see that I have agreed with everything that you have said...except your statement that Helix is "dead." Even a 7 year old can go to their Web site and see that they...

Which, I'm afraid, sounds to me to be the definition of having "an axe to grind." And there is nothing wrong with that. You are entitled to hate them. But one would have hoped that you would have stated that up front. Once again, that may all be true, and it would have been perfect if you...

Yes, you would be the expert, because you are so mature and brilliant. Thank you for sharing your incredible wisdom with us all here in a public forum. You certainly have educated us and amazed us with how impressive you are.

LOL...what a jerk. Next you will be telling us to use Lotus 1-2-3. It's still available. You just have to look in folk's attics. Yes, we should all listen to you for software recommendations because you are such a genius. Tomorrow I'm going to start running my business on AppleWorks. Who...

I really don't care what a Windows troll thinks. Apple stopped offering AppleWorks for sale two years ago. http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2007/08/rip-appleworks.ars OpenOffice and NeoOffice are basically the same program (same code base), from two different open source project groups...

I'm not "recommending" Helix to anybody. Clearly you have an ax to grind with the company and/or product. It may be that the product is unstable or that it isn't feature complete. I don't really know. But clearly the product isn't "dead." A new version was released only one day ago...

I am not a database developer, but I note that a new version of Helix was released just yesterday: http://www.qsatoolworks.com/

Are you trying to downgrade your Macintosh to an earlier version of OS X than the version it came with? Generally, you can't do that.

Macintosh anti-virus software requires the software developer to have a sample of the virus they are trying to provide you protection from, to be able to program the anti-virus software to be able to recognize and protect you from a particular virus. No Mac viruses currently exist, so...

Today's TIDBITS has an article on the scareware folks visiting the NY Times website encountered the past few days, and how to stay safe: http://db.tidbits.com/article/10563

The only way to be 100% sure is to run a good anti-virus program that looks for all potential malware for the Macintosh. The best choice for this would be: Intego's Virus Barrier ($70) http://www.intego.com/virusbarrier/ There is a free demo. Maybe you can run it and it can just tell...

QuickPopUP http://www.quickpopup.com/office/freetrial.html SnapTalk http://www.sharewareconnection.com/snaptalk-mac.htm There used to be a hidden, but easy way to send very basic pop-up instant messages, built into the Mac OS, but it has been years since anyone has asked me about it, and I'm...

Some links to some very interesting articles about Snow Leopard, that should answer a lot of questions: Apple's Sleek Upgrade (first review of Snow Leopard) http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/27/technology/personaltech/27pogue.html?_r=2&8dpc Newsflash! Apparently the $29 Snow Leopard disks...

The only *really effective* program that will do this (and the only program, period, that will work if the PDF is of a graphic image of a text page) is: OmniPage Pro/Macintosh (srp $500) http://WWW.NUANCE.COM/imaging/omnipage/omnipage-macintosh.asp OmniPage Pro is expensive, but here is a...

Apple has a tech note about this: Mac OS X 10.4, 10.5: Gray screen appears during startup http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570 Unfortunately, there are bunch of things that can cause this problem, but Apple's tech note covers most of them in a methodical way.

It's true that there can be millions of files on your hard drive. So here is another way of looking at things. How much is your time worth? Are you willing to spend hours going through hundreds of files and determining if you need them or not? Are you willing to risk damaging your software...

When a program repeatedly unexpectedly quits under OS X, or its icon bounces in the Dock but the application does not open, there are three or four common reasons for this that you can investigate: 1) Corrupted user preference file for that application. The first thing to try is...
