i have no snapz thingie and how d'you make grab work?
Once you have the frame or screen you want to capture, go to the Applications folder, to the Utilities folder and click on Grab. (It is a good time to create an alias for Grab for your desktop also so you don't have to drill down into the Utilites folder again to find Grab).
Now look at the top most portion of your screen, and it should say Grab right to the left of the little blue Apple icon (If it doesn't say Grab, click on it in your Dock).
Click on Capture and choose Selection, Window, Screen, Timed Selection. Click on whichever you want and follow the bouncing ball. It is straight forward from that point. When you save the image it is saved as a .tiff so you will need to bring it into PS to convert to a jpg like this one I captured of this screen right here in the reply box.

Or you could use keyboard shortcuts.
1.) Command (Apple key) + Shift + 3 = Entire screen
2.) Command (Apple key) + Shift + 4 = You can use the mouse to select what you want.

You know I had to switch to OSX so quickly, there's a lot I'm not up on, and now they want to introduce Tiger.... geesh!
But what the heck are tabs in Safari?
I haven't gotten far in my OSX book yet.. just finished reading about how to mouse...
You can enable them in the Safari prefs. Many windows in one. Very cool. And you can set a folder of bookmarks to all open at once. I do that with mac news. They all open, and then I browse them at leisure.
The Dock. Cool. Snazzy. Maybe a little too snazzy?
Here's my tip. You can access all of the dock prefs by right clicking on the divider. If you just plain ol' click on the divider, you can drag and resize your dock.
Here's what I recommend: turn off hiding and magnification. It's just too hard to chase the dock around, and all the icons just get too squirrely. Then place the dock where you want it (left, bottom, or right) and make it as small as you can (and still see it well enough for it to be useful.)
That's it. Just take some of the bells and whistles off of your dock, and make it unobtrusive.

Did anybody mention Macaroni yet? (the atomic bird kind, not the pasta kind).
Why should you have to remember to clean up your Mac every day, every week, and every month? Shouldn't a computer be able to remember for you?
Macaroni is a tool which handles regular maintenance for Mac OS X, including the Mac OS X repair privileges process as well as Unix-style maintenance. Without Macaroni, some of these tasks normally run in the middle of the night, and don't get run unless you leave your Mac on all night. Others don't run automatically at all, and won't happen unless you remember when they're due.
Macaroni remembers the schedule for you!
Macaroni runs these maintenance tasks on a regular schedule, regardless of when your Mac is on. If a scheduled maintenance task is not run when it's normally scheduled, Macaroni automatically ensures that it's run at the next opportunity, whenever the Mac is on.
$9 USD for one machine.

Hey, what are you trying to do, hijack this thread? The title clearly states that this is for UNSOLICITED advice. So stop soliciting.
Clearly, I do not know the answer to your question.

Did you start using Tabs in Safari yet? If not, get on it!
You can find all the settings in the Preference window of Safari. Its the best way to keep 20+ window organized.

It's fun, but I truly believe that it's not really useful and is bad UI design.
Just my opinion!

How do you make an app launch at startup?
Go to your System Preferences>Accounts>Startup Items. You may see stuff in there that you have no idea what they are. That's OK. You can add any app.
Aside from LaunchBar (mentioned earlier), one of my favorite startup items is DesktopCalendar.
Enjoy!
