    User name changed and CHAOS!!

    User Library > Application Support or User Library > Caches would be the place to start. Might be worth checking the main Library files too. Maybe a local (Gold Coast) Apple User group could help: http://www.apple.com/au/usergroups/ Best from the sunny Waikato :-) (Te Awamutu)

    searching for free paint software

    Gimp is good but maybe overkill. Pixen is great for small stuff. http://www.opensword.org/Pixen/screenshots.php Artrage, some like it, some don't. http://www.ambientdesign.com/artragepress.html I use EazyDraw but it's not free. Great software though. http://www.eazydraw.com/

    Sick of sites that don't support Macs

    I don't have any problems with the 3 Banking sites I use or my Utility sites. I do have a problem with one section of my ISP site and tell them to wake up periodically. Most of us seem to send similar e Mails to suppliers with IE only websites. "Mac Owners only buy the best, from Computers to...

    Vector graphics

    Preview Images

    You could try switching finder to Icon view rather than list or column view. You can put small icons on all pics by opening the pics in most graphic software. Graphic Converter will put icons on whole folders at once. Best.

    Anyone tried to use Mariner Calc as a substitute for M$ Excel

    I started with Excel on Windows 98, then Open Office on Windows XP. After a very quick play with Open Office on X11 for Mac I changed to NeoOffice/J on OSX3, it is now working well on OSX4 Tiger. No X11 required. Mariner just isn't in the same ball park. Very few of my installed fonts will...

    Anyone tried to use Mariner Calc as a substitute for M$ Excel

    I did try Mariner Calc but was not 100% happy with it (as in Trashed it after two days). NeoOffice/J is far better and can deal with most MS Office files and save to their formats. Free but a donation would help the guys working on it. http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/en/download.php

    Predictions for WWDC

    I'd like to see Apple finish the Apple Works replacement. OK iWork was just the start, please get it finished Apple so we can have a decent suite with out adding to MS's overflowing coffers. I need a decent spreadsheet, Apple Works just doesn't cut it nor does Mariner or Mesa. I use...

    Best OS for an old eMac... Jaguar? Panther?

    Very similar eMac here. Panther was great with no problems at all. Tiger is running fine although at 512 Ram I'm saving up for more. A couple more point releases for Tiger will help and many vendors haven't updated their software yet which may be the deciding factor.

    Just put the mailboxes icon on the toolbar, just click it and hide the sidebar. Might not bother you so much then. :-)

    Backup Tip...

    Got caught out with fonts years ago LOL. I keep copies of all my fonts in an archive folder in my user folder. Same with dmg copies kept just in case I have to reinstall anything. Then it's just a simple job burning my user folder, including library, through finder.
