Heh heh oh you're good Rokcet! Apple should have you on commission! I'm hope I haven't offended anyone cause I really do enjoy this forum and I do appreciate all the help I've had on here. It's just that I was a little upset over the whole Flash sit…

I take your point rocket, but in fact I sometimes use an eight-year-old XP machine and it has no Flash problems, and unlike my six-year-old iMac, can install the latest version of any browser I choose. I did upgrade to Leopard, which isn't a six-yea…

I know what you mean Tallest, and you're almost certainly right - you certainly know far more about it than I do. However, whoever's fault it is, I'm posting from the point of view of an average, non-advanced computer user who buys a computer to do …

Hey Rokcet, thanks for that. It's nice to know it's not just me but a little disappointing to see it just seems to be an Apple-related problem. I've seen lots of discussion about Flash, Blu-Ray etc. and it's the one side of the Apple experience …

Many thanks to you both, I have installed AppCleaner - really cool litle app! And thanks for the advice on how to get it to ignore updates in the future, both really helpful - many thanks.

Just to let everyone know who helped me - I finally made my mind up. My practically-new, hardly-used 5-year-old iMac G5 with Panther and 512Mb has had a well-deserved upgrade. In the end I decided to go for 2Gb of new memory from Crucial, so it h…

Many thanks to you both, I used erase and install and now have what feels like a brand-new Mac! It's great! In the end I decided to get a 2Gb twin-pack of memory from Crucial, which was £70, and I found a sealed retail version of Leopard on eBay …

Hey thanks for the really helpful replies, I appreciate it! I did choose non-case-sensitive in the end, but I'm afraid I didn't see your posts about deleting files until I already installed it, so I guess it's too late now? Unless there's some wa…

A teaser on the Apple website, huh? A sale, they say? What do I get, a free Beatle with every MBA?

I've looked at refurbs too but what worries me about them if that, if presumably they've been used previously and then returned for whatever reason.. well what if somebody downloaded something dodgy onto the hard drive or something? I guess it's…

Aww you guys have come through for me again! Thank you. I know I'm a total pain but I am just a worrier by nature and I panic easily so I don't do change very well - so when I changed to Mac the slightest thing I didn't get would make me either beat…

Thanks again for your help SMAX. I think I might try my G5 keyboard on any future Mac as that is at least a OSX-generation USB keyboard so should be OK, or I might get a das keyboard which I think has a Mac version now.

Thanks for the replies guys, they've given me some stuff to think about. I understand better now about how Apple supported the G5 longer than I realised and I do realise that Vista was such a monumental piece of s*** that most people stuck with the …
