Allow me to recommend a pair of earbud headphones that you might like. And if you don't like them, they are so inexpensive that you won't feel too bad.
Koss earphones
under $11
<http://www.amazon.
or
http://is.gd/
These earphones (no microphone, these are for listening to music only) have a foam tip that is pretty amazing. Squeeze the foam and it compacts into next to nothing. After squeezing the foam, you put the headphones in your ear and the foam expands to provide a perfect fit. It's like getting a custom fit set of headphones for next to nothing! They sound great too!

I can't wear the standard earbuds because I have small ears and the earbuds hurt my ears. For a whole Apple sort some custom ear buds that you could fit with small, average, and large ear coverings. But they quit making them. (I bought a ton of them to stock up.) But my supply is dwindling and I have no idea if this new ear bud will fit me or not. Probably not.
I have some ancient clipping of David Pogue's article on earpieces for the New York Times. I'll consult it for names of good brands that fit people with non-standard ears.

Etymotic are very good, but I've found the Sennheiser CX300 to be nearly as
good for a fraction of the price.
For those who don't know, these are all "canalphones". They fit in your ear
like earplugs, which means that external noise is excluded and you don't
annoy other people. The Sennheisers come with 3 sizes of seal to ensure a
good fit.

I have a pair of NuForce's now-discontinued NE-700X earphones, which have simply extraordinary sound. These are their next less expensive model, which come with 3 sizes of interchangeable tips:

Has a 50% off sale this weekend for MacJournal for $19.95
Worth a look at least, and don't forget to look at and try out others. I
personally like and use Circus Ponies Notebook, but everyone has their
own favorites I'm sure.
Try them out first and then buy that which works for you...

You mean the MacUpdate Desktop app, of course. I've been using it for quite a while, and I find it's very useful. It keeps track of all your apps, your preference panes, plugins, widgets, etc. I've experienced a few minor issues, but nothing significant. The only thing I don't like about it is how slowly it loads up when you boot. I especially like the download and install feature, and the ability to go instantly to any app on your system without having to traipse through my apps or utility folders to find locate it. I also get email notifications when any of my software has been updated. It's not free, though. It's $20 a year, but I think it's well worth it.
Regarding Macupdate.com, it's a goldmine. I use it all the time. I used to use VersionTracker (a paid subscription)

Howdy.
A hearty concurrence with Randy on Tex-Edit Plus (from Trans Tex).
I've had it for years. It had not been updated for years either until
recently when a new version was released.
It can remove everything from tab command to extra spaces to formatting
to smart quotes and much more with a single click.
And it has a proper Save As… command. I stopped using Apple's Text
Edit.

Hi, Dan. My original question was, what app will allow me to open a RichText doc and strip out what I want, not strip out EVERYTHING automatically. Text-Edit Plus strips out everything automatically when I open a RichText doc. Nice, but not what I want. SmartWrap seems to do the same thing.
I want to open a RichText doc and see the formatting codes left from web cut and paste. Then SELECT codes to delete, save and close the RT doc.
I like that RT maintains formatting from web clips, it's just difficult to change if I can't see the hidden formatting within the RT doc.
I'd rather not use InDesign to create a document. RT is simple and beautiful. The clipped formatting codes are hidden though. jr

Does TextWrangler do what you want? I only use it for text editing, but it may work for you as it can show everything (show invisibles) and it's free.

I use BBEdit for such things. TextWrangler, a subset of BBEdit may do and it's free. I've not used it since I know BBEdit.
I just downloaded it. TextWrangler displays RTF as ASCII with commands and unicode character codes.

We have two desktop computers (one still using 10.6 and one upgraded to 10.8.2(when it finishes downloading) and a laptop using 10.8. I would like to be able to use the laptop at the other end of the house but the signal is very weak and of course I would like to have the download speed I am entitled to from my IP.

I've used the Airport Extreme & Time Capsule for several years with no problems. Three of my family members also use the Extreme in their homes.
