We all had to start out at zero sometime. I recall asking newbie questions which I later realized sounded really dumb. Far too often, "later" = immediately after asking or at least immediately after getting a funny look preceding the answer. :-! And some of those incidents weren't very long ago . . . :( >maybe if it was something i did with my job i would keep up better. it >would be nice to know what all those icons mean at the bottom of my >screen (desktop?-). I just counted and right now I have 28 of them down there (not counting the "start" button). And yes I often have to check or try to remember what some of them are supposed to be doing and why they are there . . . > i finally figured out how to program my tivo after >my son move up north. i look forward to when everything is voice >activated like in star trek, and i can throw my keyboard away. > >jon > >and ronn, i think my operating system is tiger? it was panther, but >when they replaced my hard disk they loaded tiger. i'm going to stay >with the old yahoo; the new one is too daunting. um . . . someone else (iow someone who is a current Mac expert) is going to have to answer that one for you (or tell you what to do in order to get your computer to give you the answer).
