Hi -- so I finally bit the bullet & upgraded to 9.04 on my Macbook 3,1.When
will I learn? If it ain't broke ...
When I did, it all seemed to go well, but I couldn't enable the desktop
effects I had in Ibex, so I googled the problem, & found lots of
instructions on how to skip the blacklisting of th

PC World staff are sometimes the worst, they often do not have a clue
