    how to import rss feeds from netnewswire into safari

    I made a separate RSS folder for the Book Marks bar and save the feeds I want to that in the same way as any other site. I just went to the sites I wanted from netnewswire, clicked the RSS in Safari address bar and saved in my RSS folder. Bit slow but I don't have many.

    Tiger Problems

    Just did an Archive and Install from Panther to Tiger last night. (New Zealand) Had to reload the Mouse & Printer/Scanner Drivers but that's all. Opened Mail & it imported all the boxes & messages fine. No problems here. I did run repair permissions first though.

    No problems here either. One website crashed Safari but I had never tired it before so can't say that it was the update. Safari is faster though which is great. Safari crash website http://www.balgownievet.com.au/7_surgical_july04.htm if anyone wants to try it :-)

    Future of eMac? Impending demise?

    Hope it's true, Just comparing the eMac with the mini for a friend who wants to switch ~ 3 versus 2 X USB, 2 versus 1 X Firewire. The main decider, the eMac has Audio in the mini doesn't. The eMac also has Video out. Go eMac :-)

    Safari or Firefox?

    I use Safari most of the time but have Shiira as another option. I use FireFox on the XP box but wasn't that happy with it on Mac. Shiira will pickup all Safari bookmarks and works well, not keen on the default icons but others are available. Great to have choices. :-)...

    Future of eMac? Impending demise?

    I love my eMac too & would get another one. My elderly neighbor is thinking seriously about getting one too, grandkids can wreak havoc on anything.

    How do I archive my Font Book settings?

    I haven't found an easy way so I have just kept copies of all my fonts in folders. If you have already installed them it's easy enough to copy the fonts from your user library font file back into folders for back up.. Have fun

    iWork 2005

    iWork was the one thing I was really looking forward to and the only disappointment. I'll have to wait until they get 'cells' or whatever they decide to call their spreadsheet application organised. Now waiting for the next show :) Never mind, NeoOffice/J is working well.
