Window Shrinkage in Snow Leopard
Agh, this is driving me crazy. In most of the Apple apps, my windows keep shrinking vertically but not horizontally. After sleeping, the bottom of the windows moves up about 1/3 of the way up the screen.

Possible to open terminal with 3 tabs at startup and launch commands?
Hi, I'm using Mac 10.6.3. I know how to get an application to open when I start up my machine.

Need (and will appreciate) help with a Security Update glitch I seem to be caught in.

OS 8.6 on old PB and Deskwriter Printer
I have a relative that has a PowerBook 1400 running OS 8.6 that does pretty much everything she needs, so there really isn't any particular reason to upgrade the thing.
