OK guys, I admit it - I went way over the top. And I have to thank you all for your patience and understanding. Yes - I was frustrated, and have been using OSX for some time - but there was no excuse. Some of it was a little bit alcohol-induced, I have to admit.... Thanks, too, for your many...

Yeah, Scruffy - it's really likely that that someone would want to hack into MY computer - imho, the most likely candidates would be the White House, the Pentagon or Number Ten. Yes, I do curse and shout now - after over two years of hell! Believe me, I'm a Mac enthusiast and evangelist (or...

I could understand OS 9.x - I just can't get my head round OSX. Well, that's not quite true - when it works it's fine. But when it doesn't, I'm completely lost. No control panels, no preferences, no extension manager to fiddle with, no easily accessible system folder - and worst of all no...

I think the problem is actually the new so-called Keychain. Why do I need this little bit of unnecessary - that serves no useful purpose. We managed perfectly well without anything like this before OSX. Would anything drastic happen if I deleted it?

I've just looked at the Security section of System Preferences - I have to say it's part of Preferences I've never looked at before in two years, because I want no security (strange as that may seem to some people). I have nothing I wish to hide. I just would like to be able to use this...

Can someone please tell me why OSX (pile of poo that it is) keeps asking me for passwords every time that I log on? Not only that, but wretched mail.app asks me for the same password every time that I wish to download my mail. I am not running a network, I do NOT want ANYTHING password...

It tends to happen with Safari from time to time - hopefully future releases will become more stable.

Well, I've learned something tonight. ::love:: I didn't know where Startup Items was either - and I've been using OSX almost since it came out! That's the problem with having no FM to R....

What is a bit worrying is that someone is trying to specifically target Mac users - which, I would say, is a new - and concerning - development. Let's hope they don't get lucky. But, in the meantime, no-one should be at all complacent about using a Mac. Never open anything which looks...

I too used Outlook Express before Mac OSX - but I was able to import all of my old mail (many 100s of Mbs) into Mail without any difficulty at all. And, like others have said, I find Mail does just about anything I need. I'd just like to have a greater degree of possible customisation....

Dammit - I forgot to ask the maid about my cuffs this morning... ;)

'Think Different' was one of the greatest - and most appropriate, considering the product - advertising campaigns of recent times. Why on earth it was dropped is a mystery to me. I'm sure it could be resurrected and lose nothing of it's power - playing, as it does, on the mystique and unique...

Dammit - I missed the programme! I had a tape all ready to video it too, then I got the time wrong.... Still, it'll probably be repeated on BBC Three or Four in the not too far distant future.

Thanks guys - I think that's sorted it.

I am finding it increasingly annoying that every time I use OSX I am prompted for my keychain password. Now, I wouldn't mind, but it isn't as if I'm running a network here, or have any major security issues. It was something that happened occasionally with OSX 10.1 and Jaguar, but now with...

I second most of what Mindbend says above. Panther is a quantum leap forward from Jaguar - and, for me, is so much faster it's almost like the jump into hyperspace. Only one grumble: Safari keeps crashing - and I know the OS allows user reports to be sent direct to Apple, but this happens so...

I've missed something, somewhere - saw it in the advertising and on the Apple OSX Panther site. But how do you actually access FontBook? I've looked , but I can't find it! Dare I say it? - I'm not stupid - there's something wrong with the interface and general preferences if it isn't obvious...

I think I'm probably stating the obvious in saying that most people, including me, appreciate the new look and feel to the forum. A lot of work has obviously gone into it. One slight quibble (please forgive me if this has been mentioned already and answered - I don't have time to trwal...

I think you're up against the fact that, although you have a huge membership (compared with most other forums), and many of those members are active in posting - general awareness amongst the Mac OSX community is not great. I had to go and search for a Mac OSX forum - as I didn't know...

Cougar is, of course, very American and doesn't mean all that much to us Europeans (although most of us have probably heard of it!).... Saber-tooth sounds great, but you run into the problem that it's spelt differently over here (Sabre-tooth), although that doesn't normally stop US product...
