I have a question about the "disk image". I downloaded a few things and unzipped them - I mounted the programs (ie - FireFox and Flip4mac). Can I trash the icon that ends w/ ".dmg"? Or do I need to keep these around? Also, I hate a cluttered desktop. Should I move the unzipped programs into m HD icon? Thanks!

    You can delete the dmg files once you've extracted the contents from them. You should ideally be moving all the applications you have downloaded to the /Applications folder.
