    Newbie Volunteer question

    I receive a message with some helpful advice suggesting that I not have my email address available to guests. This certainly sounds like good advice. My benefactor directs me to go to CP > Private messaging. That is where the trouble begins. There are precisely three (3) check boxes there. I...

    Shapeshifter YES?/NO?

    I am certain that whitesaint is accurate in his directions; but a caveat is in order. Mistakes made in performing interface tweaks can render your system unstable or unbootable. That is why, for nearly all Mac users, an application that acts as a "front-end" interface is a very good idea.

    I strongly urge you to install two freeware applications: VLC and MPlayer. There both work far better than Quicktime for viewing video (no editing features as with Quicktime Pro.) Often video created on a PeeCee that are .mpg files and are viewable via QuickTime (generally set by default)...

    [HOWTO] - Spell a word

    Be aware that this feature is quite limited in depth and scope. SpellCatcher and Grammarian have superb feature sets. Perhaps the best application extant in this area is UltraLingua, with modules for most major languages.

    Shapeshifter YES?/NO?

    I like eye-candy as much as most, but I urge caution. Over the last two decades there have been numerous applications that modify the Finder GUI. They often require considerable RAM and may slow down booting and window re-drawing at best. They can cause serious system problems at worst. An...
