If you hold the command key while clicking it'll open stuff into a tab.

Seperate question - downloaded Acquisition off of that first post in this thread recommending it for downloads, except - it gets stuck connecting and doesn't do anything. Google searches only brought up old posts from back in like July and April, no fixes that I saw besides "download the new version, it works now". Except, I'm pretty sure that the version on their site is the latest and it still doesn't work. Thoughts?

This list looks very dated now. Doesn't look good to recent switchers.

Anyone fancy updating it?

A great guide for a MacBook newbie! I have found Adium to an excellent program much like Trillian (PC) or Pidgin (Linux). Thus far my Mac experience has been great. I have NOT missed the windows world for one second!

After years of Window PCs, finally gotten tired of the BSOD and switched to Mac. Still trying to get used to it and this forum is a great help.

I'm not sure who wrote that, but it needs an update. Numbers is now included in the iWork suite. It seems it was written before that.

Unfortunately, you'll need to buy a Tiger or Leopard retail disc if you want to maintain the newer version.
