You could also drag the window around by grabbing a part of the background window that you can drag it with. I use that feature more often to strategically arrange a background chat window for example.

Other reivew always start off with "Just installed Leopard on my MacBook/Mac Pro with my 2 GB of RAM...". I also have an iBook G4 and will be getting Leopard tonight and I'm glad to hear it works well on the not as recent hardware, too. Nice to hear a Leopard review on some older hardware.

Sorry about the shownotes links. I added them. It was late when I posted the show and I just forgot to add the links. As many of you saw, they were actually there and uploaded. Hey gang.

I listened to the episode with my iPod & sync'd, so it is not on my mac nor iPod any more. Would also love to be able to find the links to useful websites and apps after couple of weeks.

Where have they disappeared to? I've run through the podcast in iTunes but cannot work out how to get up any 'lyrics' list as suggested above. I'm trying to find the link for Domys World - or was it Dommies World - something like that - the list of Leopard compatible apps? I can’t find any show notes either! Where have they disappeared to?
