You could also consider Nisus Writer Pro as a word processor, and iPal OCR from
Humanware is coming to the Mac in September to work in conjunction with their
iPal document camera.

On the chat side, you can download Adium which will let you connect to MSN,
Yahoo, Google, Facebook etc or if you only need GoogleTalk then use the built
in iChat program. If you still get stuck with anything you can always install
Fusion or use boot camp to run Windows on your Mac.

Hi,
I want to hear when I cursor over a capital letter on my IPod Touch. Is
it really true that you can't make VoiceOver indicate when a letter is
capitalized?

I really kind of don't like the idea of doing this. But, can any of y'all

I use the cannon printer but I can't remember how to get the model! It is an

Are you talking about dot files like .hidden_filename? If so then there
is no way short of some hackery to get them to show. You can turn on
showing file name extensions. Why would you want them to show? You can,
of course, access them through the terminal.

Hi Eric,
Not that we all need to belabor the list with responses. But we definitely
want your participation. Unless there's some privvy info I don't know about,
you've suffered from good old "computer error," or undetectable human error.
So, chin up, you're still loved and wante:)

Open terminal and type:
defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
To turn it off, just substitute "YES" with "NO".
