    Yet another Apple question! This time the i Book computer

    I have inherited an Apple Mac i book (4?).

    I can't work it out....especially no right click!

    I am trying to download a CD program on to it (Serif Publishing) and then all I get are about 29 files which if I click, I am asked what program I want to open it with (loads!...which then split up into loads of other things!). I am completely lost!

    Help!

    Control click = right click, or buy a two-button mouse!

    That's the limit of my apple knowledge, bet you're glad about that!

    Azande says it looks like Serif programs are only for Windows (I have no opinion, jut relaying his).

    Ah....It is possible that Serif only works with Windows. The box says that it is for PCs.

    That's really annoying because it is quite a good program and I was trying to build a website with it on the PC. Then I thought I would try to build it on the Mac.......drat.

    Thanks anyway

    Its ben a loooong time since "PC" literally meant "Personal Computer"

    can always get bootcamp you know

    or use one of the many other good web site building programs on the Mac

    Not on an iBook though - I don't think there was even an Intel one of them (think they only went up to G4s with that range)

    The Register had an article about the new iRobot - a webcammy follow you about annoyance I believe.

    Is this possibly another lawsuit around the corner?
