Wep pages not scrolling.
Hi all, I've had an email from Dad requesting advice re why he can't see all of some web pages on his old CRT iMac running OS9. I've run up Netscape Communicator on Sheepshaver / OS9 here and agree, you can't see all the width of the page on the site he offered as an example: www.leea.co.uk (The Lifting ... 2 Jun 2010 12:03

How much disk space to upgrade Tiger to Leopard?

How to change file Kind
After a series of crashes (Time Machine and Hard Drive spin-down trouble, mentioned in another thread), some files have changed their 'Kind'. E.g. Hogwasher documents have changed from 'Hogwasher.app Document' to 'Unix Executable File'. This is causing Hogwasher to be wildly unstable. I've run Disk Warrior and... 2 Jun 2010 22:02

Website software...
Having noticed a few flaws in iWeb, I've been looking at the alternatives. However, this has thus far proven to be a fruitless task. It's also the only part of iLife I use now, so I'm looking futher ahead too. As far as iWeb goes, it actually does all *I* need it to.

iPod - Mac or Windows format?
I have just acquired an iPod. Still not quite sure what I'll do with it. Meanwhile - this one came Windows-formatted. I've read a bit aout these gizmos and I can't see where there's any extra functionality I'd get from making it Mac-formatted.
