I frequently buy music classes from an online vendor. Twice, with several months in between, I have clicked on one of his links in an email after a purchase and instead of my purchase, I'm looking at a down load page with 40 or more of his classes on it and ready to download. He is tilling me I...

That's it in a nut shell. My mac is a motorola G5 2 Gigahertz, 4.5 gigs of ram. A modest system by today's standards. But safari has never run well on it. Firefox is even worse. It's just boxes and text and the text never fits in the boxes, the boxed sometimes overlap making pages a mess...

I must be doing something wrong in my searches. I never find the subject I search for even if I use quotes or and between the string elements. So I wold like to know how one does a capture of a screen from safari. I know this question has been asked often. There are lots of hits all containing...

Anyone know how much juice this computer draws when it is doing nothing [that I know of] and the monitor is off? How about when it's asleep compared to processor busy tasks like recording audio for instance? Is there a key command to put it nity nite? I have screen savor and sleep pretty much...

Hope this isn't considered off topic. I have fire fox for a few years. I seldom use it because I do not what to spend an hour absorbing all the hype about fire fox to find out how to make it look like a modern browser. It looks like something from the 90's. Every thing is displayed minus images...
