All is well that ends in pizza.

-You can upgrade to Panther. (10.3)

-You can open the .dmg (disk Image) by going into the Utilities folder and running Disk Utility, and find the selection for opening an image.

It should automatically mount, but sometimes 10.1 had problems with newer images.

-You can upgrade to Tiger, you just need a 3rd party utility called XpostFacto to do so.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Oh! I should have been more specific, it does mount a virtual drive, but then nothing happens. I click, I get a picture of the fox, and, well, it's a huge file for just a pic of the fox. But it doesn't open the browser.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Firefox is downloaded, but wont open. it's a .dmg file and I dont understand what that means. So, I just spent an assload on broadband, and cant do one of two things I use the net for...reading my email.

Though, in 10.1, I recall having some tough problems with the .dmz,g, all the rest--it's part of the reason I scrapped using it until 10.2.

ETA: Allyson, if you downloaded the most recent version of firefox, it will not work for Mac OS pre 10.3. You will have to find an older version of it for download and install.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

The system requirments pages says Firefox needs "Mac OS X 10.2.x and later." [link]

Yeah, I could barely get it to work in 10.3. I finally had to locate an older version, which works okay, but not as cleanly as it should.

Hey. New board.

Allyson: Go to [link]

On the right column, under "Quick Reference" is a bit that says "Users of Mac OS X 10.1 should download Camino 0.8.4 and the MRJplugin." with links.

Download Camino 0.8.4 - it, too, will be a disk image, but this version of camino should actually run on 10.1. Once the disk image opens, drag the big Camino icon to your Applications folder, and you should be able to run it from there. Camino, btw, is basically the same thing as Firefox, only made for Macs exclusively.

You can also install the MRJPlugin from the link, which I think will enable Java.

What I'd like is an MP3 player program for Windows that would play all the files in my iTunes folder, and also update the playcount (and hopefully also be able to use the iTunes playlists and smartplaylists.) Is there such an animalprogram?

While I'm at it, I'd like a pony and world peace.

Doesn't iTunes keeps a playcount?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I would like to know, in addition to why Theo gets a pony and I don't, if anyone has any experience with Sony flat panel monitors, especially this one.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Doesn't iTunes keeps a playcount?

Yes.

What I'd like is an MP3 player program for Windows that would play all the files in my iTunes folder, and also update the playcount (and hopefully also be able to use the iTunes playlists and smartplaylists.)

So you're saying you want something that's not iTunes to do what iTunes does?

I'm confused.
