    What will happen when I update to Leopard?

    That's all good advice... I had the same questions. One more thing...would there be a big advantage to a new, clean install compared to the upgrade? Is it worth the hassle of re-installing software and files? Oh, no download of the software? I'm not anywhere near a store, guess I have to order?

    How claean is you keyboard?

    level 5 - defiantly obsessive. Even ordered the iKlear Apple polish product and special cloth. I do find the MacBook Pro is not the easiest to keep clean, or I should say dirt shows very quickly. Form and design was a major buying factor, so it's important for me the MBP looks good at all times...

    Camino Browser 12GB

    I installed Camino this morning....thought I give the browser a try. Imported my bookmarks/homepage and used it all day. Nice and fast browser, like the interface but I miss having the ability of keeping bookmarks open in a sidebar. So now I've just noticed Camino is using up over 12GB on my...

    Why is the internet SOO slow sometimes on Mac....?

    I've started using BonEcho soon after I've purchased my MacBook Pro last year. Any thoughts on that? I don't read much about it on this forum, what's the main difference to Firefox (on which it is based, I believe)? The website states: Optimized Firefox 2.0 for G4, G5 and Intel Macs... but...

    Why is the internet SOO slow sometimes on Mac....?

    Satcomer, wow... I've looked up the site OpenDNS and changed my Linksys router according to the instructions provided. Browsing seems quite a bit faster .

    VirtueDesktops 1,2,3

    I love VirtueDesktops and are quite curious how Leopard Tiger's Spaces will compare to VD... I'm using three desktops, one for e-mail and mostly work, two for web browsing and iTunes and three for remote connection to my PC (Chicken Of The VNC) or Parallels.
