    Stupid question - How do I "cut" files?

    Hiya: Stupid question, but how do I "cut" not "copy" files in Tiger / Finder? I've owned my Mac going on a year now, and have yet to see "cut" light up, it's always greyed out. Sounds pretty simple, am I missing something here? Command+X ain't working either. Sorry if this is a stupid /...

    Does Apple do holiday deals?

    Sorry if this question doesn't belong here. I wasn't sure which forum would be appropriate for this kinda question. My buddy wants to buy a Mac but is waiting for some kind of "After Christmas Sale". My question is, does Apple typically do this on their website? Or, maybe some retailers...

    My first Mac; some questions?

    Hiya: I purchased a Mac Mini yesterday and had some questions regarding it. Like, what's a good image browser for Mac OS X that isn't iPhoto? I hate to say this because I may come off as being ignorant, but I just don't like the idea that you have to manually add photos to it. I just...

    File sharing: PC and Mac (?)

    Simple question I'm sure. I know absolutely NOTHING about networking in the slightest. Here's some verbage for ya: Here's a bowl, it's pretty, it's clear, yet there's nothing in it. The total volume taken up in the bowl represents in its entirety the collective knowledge I have on networking...

    Mac Mini Mods (?)

    Y'know... I have to wonder what kind of mods you could perform with the Mac Mini... that little power brick that's included probably can't handle that much power, and even then where could you attach anything to it? Eh, I'll worrie about that later :D I've already seen someplace that will put...
