Alex, OS X is a great OS. Bear with it, you have to climb the learning curve which fortunately is neither steep nor long. It is sooooo much better than 9, Windows or Linux!
As for Safari, it is fast and generally works well. Sometimes it has troubles with certain sites, but every web browser does. So I keep Camino and IE around for those few that don't work with Safari. Safari and Camino are both much faster than IE. fsck (file systems check) is a traditional UNIX tool for checking the file system. I've never needed a third party utility for disk repair in OS X. If the system was shut down improperly it runs fsck on reboot to fix the file system. Let it work. As for requiring a password, you can enable automatic login in the Users panel in the System Preferences App. Paul At 1:22 PM -0400 8/1/03, Kochkodin wrote: >What a P.O.S. this is!!!
