Hi! I've just installed trillian, and it was much easier to set up than adium. The problem is, I've got my accounts set up, but now, I can't figure out how to do anything with them. There are a bunch of unlabled buttons, and I can't figure out how to do anything, especially regarding the facebook

My only advice is if you have a means of doing so, back up your system as it is now. I used CCC to back it up, and when lion just didn't work out for me, I was able to restore my system. I went ahead and backed up lion too, so plan to try it out once in a while. Once the bugs get worked out, I ca

Hi there! It sounds like you need to find and download the newest version of pianopub. I just used it today, and it works great. The newest version you can download should have autoupdate too, so in the future, you shouldn't run into any problems. I don't remember the site for downloading it, but

That's pretty much what I was told by Apple, too. My macbook is only about 3 months old now, and SL was running on it beautifully. My lion upgrade went smoothly enough, but there were just too many weird things going on, so I decided to go back to SL until some lion bugs get worked out. There's s

I had never heard of it for windows, but I just got it for my mac today, and it's very interesting. I'm still not sure I understand it completely, but I see potential for it to become a very adictive game. Not quite as fun for me as Super Egg hunt, but then again, I've only had it for a few hours
