Looks like it worked !

Thanks !

I'm one of those non-tech savvy general usrs, but I make heavy use of my mac everyday for various purposes.

Apple Apps I like: mail, safari, preview (beats adobe, which I have, and never use), Apple Dictionary, iPhoto, Photo Booth, Quicktime (love this one too!)

Non-Apple: Quark, Word, Excel, Firefox, Transmission, GIMP, Skype

Never found a use for iCal or Address book to be honest. iTunes I use it when I have to but I'm not a big music fan anyway.Have played with iWeb but don't like it much. Prefer to use Quark to write webpages. Expose and Spaces drive me nuts. Maybe I just haven't figured out how you're supposed to use them effectively.

Question: I prefer Safari to Firefox for things like the ease which you can download youtube vids and other content via the Activity window, but I often use Firefox for daily browsing because the three finger trackpad swipe, which will take you to the top or bottom of a page instantly, only works in Firefox and not Safari. It seems bizarre that a native apple probram can't use a native apple action, but a non-native can?

Does anyone else have this problem?

Not me. That "swiping" business is one of the Apple things I don't use. I found it annoying and turned it off. If I want to scroll up or down, I'll use the scroll bar - it's worked fine for me since 1985 or so. No incentive to use anything else. I do wish the scroll bars were on the left though.
