Have you tried a different browser?
Firefox or Google Chrome.
I find Chrome handles downloads better than Safari for me. It might not solve
your problem, but installing a variety of browsers gives you more options to
troubleshoot when you have problems.

I have just checked my eStatements and they are fine but I am using Chrome and

I recently purchased an Epson Workforce Pro 4530 printer to replace a

I have 2 queries:

Epson is a good choice for a printer. When it comes to colour photographic

I'm no expert on this, but the audio out can provide both analog and

Hi Rob,
Not a bad though, Rob. You are thinking of so-called Toslink or digital audio.
It operates by sending green light pulses down an optical fibre. So if the
light is on the Mac mini is in digital audio mode. When digital audio is on
standard 3.5 mm headphones / speakers will not operate.
Hi Wamuggers
I use Bean which is a free word processor. It opens .doc .docx .odt etc and

I don't know if it is sufficiently sophisticated for some users but I like it.

A PRAM reset can also help reset sound as well.
Worth a try also.
