    Using a controller for NES program!! Won't recognize it!

    In order to use a joe-average USB gamepad, the application itself (in your case, your Nintendo emulator) has to have what is called "HID" support... I have no idea what it stands for.... And, although I know of Super Nintendo emulators that support gamepads natively, I don't know any regular...

    please help with possible spyware and crashing AIM!

    barhar made a good point: It's entirely possible that "surfsidekick" is on your computer, but because it's a Windows executable, you can't possibly be running it on your Mac. So, although it can't run and take up computing power, it's still taking up a little space.

    Aqua theme for Mac OS 9 - mission impossible?!?!

    Hmmm... sorry, buddy, but it's going to be hard for you to find an Aqua theme, simply becaus Apple sent cease and desist orders and threatened sites that had the theme, and whatnot. If you like Techno or Drawing Board, I think I might have those somewhere, but I never got my hands on an Aqua copy.

    Mac Personality?

    I'm slightly ambidextrous, commie liberal hippie who eats sprouts, edits video, sings and writes songs, and goes hiking with my GPS. Take that as you list.

    How to view a movie file that is ISO?

    Try using "Disk utility" (found in your "Utilities" folder, which is in your "Applications" folder) to "mount" the ISO. If that doesn't work, either, then it sounds like the file is corrupted...

    How to view a movie file that is ISO?

    You don't really have a movie file, there. Rather, what you have is a ISO Disk Image. You have to either "mount" it as a virtual disk, or burn an actual CD or DVD from it in order to see what files are inside it.

    How can I erase floppy discs securely?

    I'd go with a degausser ... or, just find a really strong magnet of your own and give it a few swipes.
