The Mac Advisory Forum is now online. Feel free to join!

OS X 10.5.7 Update: Having tested the latest OS X update on a number of my Macs not has shown any problems. I recommend the update for all Leopard users. However, before updating via the automated Software Update I strongly recomment you read this Tips entry to avoid possible problems.

Safari 4 Public Beta: Apple release the second Beta for Safari. Having used the Safari 4 since the relase of the first public beta, this version is now stable enough that I recommend it for use. It has many new features that provide instant benifits to those that try it out. For details vist Apple's Safari page.

Since the official release of OS X I have converted many PC users to the new Mac Operating System. Part of my spiel was, and still is, to offer help and support so that the new users could feel comfortable and secure in the new world they were entering. Lucky for me that the demand on my time was rather small because of the intuitive way OS X and its applications are.

However, there have been questions, some repeatedly, about how to do something that either is not a standard operation or different from the PC environment. I answered those inquires each time using email, iChat or the phone.

Now that my Mac user community has grown to considerably, I decided to create this web site to permanently record the questions and answers so that they will help others.

For starters, I convert old email responses that are still relevant and either post them in the Tips and Hints or FAQ section. In addition to the static content the site also has a Forum to allow Mac users to get involved, be it that they have questions or want to provide their own solution(s) to those that have asked for help.

In closing, thanks for visiting Mac-Advisor.com. Please let me know if I can make your experience more enjoyable or informative.

Sincerely,

Klaus-Dieter Naujok
