Also, if you are in full screen mode, to get the menu bar back, all you have to do is to just move your mouse cursor to the very top and "bump" it against the very top of the screen. Your menu should drop down for you momentarily, until you move the mouse away from the top again. Full screen mode in any app works the same.

I agree with you on waiting for a new tower to come out, one which will have
thunderbolt ports, etc. And I appreciate others' advice on the 64bit bootup
actions. and knowing that Lion does work after all.
Thanks again, I have Lion on hand and will install it as it seems to be
pretty much bug free judging by the lack of derogatory comments on that
version on the various lists.

Howdy.
Chas, I suggest that you burn a DVD Lion install/boot disc before
actually installing Lion.
You do this with a disk image file that is inside the Lion package
installer file and with your current Disk Utilities program.

When I select the top-level "Inbox" folder (which contains all the sub Inboxes for each account), when creating a new message, a particular From address is the default.
How do I change this default?
Thanks

Go to Mail Preferences>Composing. Mid way down (in Mail 4.6) under "Addressing" there is a "send new messages from: " you can select there the account you wish to use.

If one is interested in buying Apple OS software these days where can one find OS 10.7 or 10.8? Doesn't appear either are any longer offered by Apple at their store.
There must however, be some manner for those interested in acquiring the software. Even Ebay is lacking.

Going on the one big piece of evidence you provided, that he is a Vista user, get him an iPad. Here's my reasoning.
Windows vs. Mac is more a personality question than a practical one. The iPad is (arguably) the best tablet around and anyone can use it. However, if someone is a true Windows fan (not merely an historic "user") then they MIGHT prefer an Android or Windows tablet. This is a question of personality. Macs are easy and stable, but Android and Windows machines are more "flexible" and configurable. For years, I enjoyed Macs but "preferred" Windows. Then came OSX and I found I could have my cake and eat it too.
Because your brother is a Vista user, I'm deducing that he is conservative and not interested in being on the cutting edge. So he should get an iPad. And if he's older, get him the full sized iPad, not the Mini so he can actually see it.
Next question is wireless only or cellular... that's about traveling.
FYI, the Windows 8 tablets are here. If I'm reading your brother incorrectly and he does have a "hacker" personality, get him a Win 8 tablet and let him experience the cutting edge.
Cheers,
tod

Tod,
Thanks for that info. My brother buys a new computer every decade or so whether he needs one or not, and just upgraded from AOL dial up running Windows 98 to Vista on a new Windows computer this year. He's a Windows user because that's what his job had, and he wasn't going to be bothered learning a new OS. He came from a world of backslashes and colons and (I think they were called) command prompts.
To say he's conservative is an understatement.
The Mini might be too small for someone in his 7th decade and poor vision to begin with, you think? I'm wondering about the full sized iPad now, as my 13" MacBook is a little difficult for me to see (I'm always using the "expand" tapping to make the pages larger so I can read them, and my eyes are better than his). I wonder if I should abandon the "surprise" gift and get him out to an Apple store to check them out before I buy something he can't use at all.
Again, thanks for your assistance.
