What about non-regulars. Have we determined that it's fillable or tileable or something else. I'd like to know.

>Is Adobe Flash Player a necessary app?
For me, yes! Some of my favourite puzzles and games require Flash.
E.g., Jigsaw Sudoko, Spider solitaire (AARP's version). And I need
Shockwave Player for my favourite jigsaws.

You don't need Adobe-anything to fill-in fillable forms, you can use this free program which can even fill-in locked forms:
Formulate (free)
http://code.
I use Formulate all the time. It's easy to use and very effective. The guy who wrote it and put it in the public domain is a saint.

At one time just about any and all animation you saw on a Web page required Flash to view.
Flash is still important to have, and I wouldn't, at this time, want to be without it. However, if you have an iPad and do much Web surfing with it you will note (as the iPad doesn't nominally support Flash) that fewer and fewer Web sites now require Flash. Even YouTube doesn't require it anymore. Animation is now a built-in part of the HTML standard.
Flash is perfectly safe on your Mac as long as you are extremely careful about where you get updates from. I recommend only getting them from the Adobe Web site. Do this:
Uninstall the copy of Flash that you have installed with this uninstaller (Adobe recommends doing this first):
<http://fpdownload.
or
http://is.gd/
Then download the latest version of Flash directly from Adobe, and install it:
http://get.adobe.
If you have any concerns that you don't have the latest version of Flash at any point in the future, don't click on any dialog boxes that pop-up on your screen. Instead just check at:
http://get.adobe.
to see if the version number currently available is higher than the version that you have. Or, you could just re-follow the routine that I suggested above. It only takes a couple of minutes. Re-installing the version of Flash that you already have won't hurt anything.

as in the repair failed! The disk has 600 gigs free and I can read the files on it.
I am sending it back to Segate and they are replacing it.

Do you have the sidebar showing? If not then go to the View menu and have it showing.

Few weeks ago there was some discussion here on whether the iWork programs will work on the upcoming Maverick OS. Yesterday I got an email from Apple that I have been invited to view and use iWork programs on my iCloud site - just log in. So I did and sure enough there were icons for pages, numbers and keynote. Clicking on pages opens the program and I could initiate a new document - all of this within safari. I could save in different formats and could send e mail directly from the site. I haven't been a fan of iCloud but guess I will have to investigate it - guess it is the future.
