Clean my Mac program
Hi Wamuggers I think it was Ronni who recommended this program which I just installed. It seems to work OK but initially I get a window headed Universal Binary Plug-in Error and could not define architecture of Mac. You probably do not have usr/bin/arch program installed. As Pauline Hanson once said please explain.

Preferences under Snow Leopard
Since installing Snow Leopard, attachments to emails open in Pages or Numbers rather than in Word or Excel. I cannot find a way of setting preferences so that the attachments open in Word or Excel. Can any-one steer me in the right direction? Thank you, Michael Hawkins.

Re: Snow Leopard-Reunion 9.0a
Hi Ronni, Many thanks for this reminder. I was waiting for Reunion to advise of this update and did not even think of checking their website. I have downloaded the update, and true to form Reunion installer did a marvellous job in a very short time indeed. This is one hell of a program, having used it since back in the days of OS 8 and not once, touch wood, have I had any crash or lost data. Incidentally I also use Heredis in parallel with Reunion, but I do not think that they have an update. I think that Heredis is still run under Rosetta and users are waiting for a major update. Wonder if you have heard of a database used to enter certain data from Birth, Marriage, Death Divorce registers, called Nimègue? Unfortunately it is written for Windows only and I have been searching for an equivalent on the Mac platform. This database is very popular among french speaking volunteers who enter the information from those registers in the database and make them available for genealogists. Many thanks again and kind regards to all, Philippe c 2009/9/2 Ronda Brown ro...@mac.com: Hi Reunion users on WAMUG, We are pleased to announce that the free maintenance update Reunion 9.0a is now available.

Re: Clean my Mac program
Hi John, I had another person email me with this problem he is having with the version for Snow Leopard v.1.5.4 I have this version installed and not experiencing this Error or any other problems. CleanMyMac uses the Unix command line. Do you have a Developer Folder in HD/Developer? If you do, look in the Developer Folder usr bin arch You will probably find that there is NO arch there. I also had another version of Xcode Tools on my MacBook Pro and it did have arch in the bin folder. So I trashed this whole folder, therefore didn't have arch left on my machine (just leaving the Snow Leopard Developer Folder) but I still don't get the error you are receiving, so I don't know what is happening with your CleanMyMac. DON'T you go trashing your Developer folder or anything in it, DON'T touch or move anything in the folder! I just did a search on the CleanMyMac forum and found this: http://forum.macpaw.com/viewtopic.php?f=3t=1554 Also noticed the version they have now on their site to download is version 1.5.3 (not the new version 1.5.4). Perhaps you could try downloading version 1.5.3 and see if you still receive the Error?

Windows
Good morning all, I have an old (very old) windows machine that I occasionally use to look at some Family History Resource CDs' and I would like to get rid of it if possible. Is it possible to install windows (98 works ok.) onto a 100 GB Firewire external HD attached to an Intel machine in order to look at these CDs'? I don't want to install it on the computer due to disk space considerations.

Re: Windows
Hi Adrian, Bootcamp doesn't like anything below XP - I'd say the best trick would be to use Fusion or Parallels and make a virtual machine - that shouldn't take up much space.

Re: Windows
Hi Adrian, Windows 98 should work fine with Parallels, although Parallels v4 is not that cheap. see: http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/ The documentation doesn't say anything about Win 98, but the software has on loading virtual machines allows you to specify Win 98. The beauty of Parallels over Bootcamp is that you can run your windows applications just as if they were another Mac application (in Coherence mode). Also its a great way to run other operating systems - eg, I have just been trying out Windows 7, and I often try various versions of Linux. I'm not too sure what applications you want to run on Win 98, but using these virtual machines like Parallels consumes some load on the system. For example, sometimes when playing music on Windows (using some windows applications for editing music), you get little hiccups, especially if the Mac machine is busy doing disc and internet processing.

Re: Preferences under Snow Leopard
Good morning Ronnie, The attachments were .doc The suggestion that I save the attachment to the desktop and by using Get Info select the application that I want to open the attachment, worked. On opening the document I was greeted with a message to the effect that I was opening Word for the first time and was I sure I wanted to do that. I've been using Word for over a decade: It seems to me that Mac is getting more and more like Microsoft in trying to dictate behaviour!

Re: Windows
Thanks to all for the responses. The only reason I mentioned Windows 98 is that I cant seem find the XP installer disk for the old machine but that's not an issue at this time, my main concern is installing it onto an external HD.
