I'm very happy with my 24" Dell plugged into the HDMI port on my MBP Retina, although you can also use an adapter in the Thunderbolt port if your monitor doesn't do HDMI.

Yes. If you compare Android to iOS that is an app vs document centric example. I am a new Mac user but on Windows or Mac I can work anyway I choose. Open the app and then open the doc, open the doc which will open the app. Depends what you prefer, how you organise the docs, how useful the app is in opening the docs, etc.

Yes, I think we've all been there, but of course it's nothing to do with doc/app-centric: it's simply a matter of the app's menu being at the top of the screen, not at the top of the window.

But If I understand those terms correctly, one of the most obvious differences puzzled me when I first started out. I opened an app in the dock--Acrobat I think it was--and nothing seemed to happen. It took a while before I noticed the Acrobat menu at the top of the screen, and the rest is history.

That is really no minor thing. I am fine with both Windows and Mac, but far prefer Mac. Still. I do know that with in Windows, when you close the last window for the running application, the application quits. With the Mac, you can close all an app's windows, but the app is still running.
That's a big difference, until you get used to it. I was constantly shocked when I was learning to learn Windows, to find that my application had quit just because I had closed its last open window.

Mac users find it annoying that Windows apps close when they don't expect.
Windows users find it annoying that Mac apps are still running when they
thought they'd closed them.
I rarely use the buttons, though. I use cmd-w to close windows. I haven't
use Windows for years; does ctrl-w close windows and if so, does it also
close the app?

I am running Safari Version 5.1.7 (6534.57.2) under Snow Leopard and
under preferences I have the same Autofill tab in Preferences, and there
I can edit all the entries I have available.
FWIW, I also have the same option in Firefox when I used to use that
feature.

I'm not the OP, but that allows you to delete all the items per site. What Patty wants to do is to edit only some of the items for one site.
An option to edit Form Values was offered, but is so complicated, that she deleted all the items for the one site and is in the process of re-entering 200 of the 300 items.

No problem, I think it came up a post or two later, because my first reply was the same as yours.

Just as Otto described, in Safari 5.1.9 I too can delete ALL the
autofill items for a single website, or for the websites I select. As
Otto has figured out, that's not what I was asking about.
What I wanted to do was to pick and choose which autofill items to
delete and which to save for a single website. That would mean
messing with an encrypted file in ~/Library/Safari that Julian
guessed would be there. I've given up on that idea and reluctantly
deleted all the autofill items for that site with a single click on
Remove.
If anybody else is feeling very adventurous, try the site that Brent,
John, and I have already looked at:
<http://encase-forensic-blog.guidancesoftware.com/2013/06/safari-form-values-decryptor.html>
I'm not that adventurous. I've dealt with my situation in another
way. And I'm moving on to other things.
Thanks to all who spent time on this.
Fini!

Hi there. I am using a Brother 2270 DW on Mac OS 10.8.
I was getting a low toner message and a refusal to print, so I went and purchased new toner. I am still getting the same message and it still won't print. I've run disk utility, unplugged everything, rebooted, etc, but no luck.
Any suggestions?

I managed to fix it after a few attempts to reset it to default and by removing it and readding it in system preferences.
