Hi Ray, I agree completely with your comments below, and I apologise if my reply was taken as showing arrogance or excessive pride. I can remember the dark years of Apple when Steve Jobs was ousted. I’m very concerned as to how Apple will continue when Steve Jobs does not have the ‘Helm’. Che

The various replies to Carlo's email are starting to sound too much like hubris to me. That's dangerous. My first Mac was a Mac 512, and I started with M$ Word V1 and PageMaker V1 on that $3600 machine (= to lots of hamburgers in those days). A few years later I started with PhotoShop V1. I h

Hi Tom, If you have DivX installed, uninstall it and keep Perian. DivX isn't up-to-date with Lion and keeps avi files from playing. Use the uninstall tool that came with DivX. Then restart your computer. Then test a AVI file. If it still doesn’t play properly, uninstall Perian and then resta
