Safari can do it.

Go: File>Save As> Format: Web Archive. Select your destination then hit save.

there's also Paparazzi (Just feed it a URL and it will render that page into a tall JPEG, PNG, etc), that's my web page archiver of choice.

Sorry - OT (?), but I found this today and though that it would be useful to those who bootcamp/VM into windows and miss quicksilver.

It might be worth mentioning in the Compressing/Uncompressing Files section that OS X comes with a great utility to do this already, and that Stufit Expander has loads of issues and isn't recommended.

Anyone able to recommend an app for opening GPS files (Tiger), specifically this one—The Across Canada Trails Foundation: Supporting the Free Garmin GPS Route Map

I am not planning on getting a GPS, just want to view those maps. I am hoping to find a free/open source app...

[i have no experience with GPS—please play nice ]

Maybe this is what you're looking for:

I've found it very useful, all the best with it, cheers, Mike.

Could someone direct me to a audio player for osx? I've currently been using foobar2000 on win32, and have a pet peeve for itunes - also I need FLAC support (and preferable wavepak also). I've heard of Cog, which looks alright, however not very complete. Do the work arounds to get itunes (on osx) to play FLAC work? (I know I couldn't get it to on win32).

Thanx!

Smile Crossing over - lots to learn!!!

Hi folks

I just wanted to pop in and say thank you for lots of good info on this thread and in the other forums.

I am just starting the crossover from Windows to virtually all Mac now that I have 'inherited' my bf's 18 month old iMac (he got a new one!!!) and trying to find the right apps to get.

My main stumbling block will be Excel as I use that a lot at work and Numbers is so pretty but the crossover doesn't seem to work..... I have not tried NeoOffice yet but from what I have read here it looks like it could be the solution for me.

I have tried OpenOffice on Windows and that was fairly decent but only JUST found out about NeoOffice..... any advice/info will be greatly appreciated!!!!

TIA and looking forward to a happy 'Mac' experience....

cheers

Write to NTFS partition from OS X

By default, OS X is able to read and copy files from an NTFS partition. The following free software enables writing to a NTFS partition. (useful with Hard Drives that have a NTFS Partition, without requiring Virtualisation software).

Quote:
To install the NTFS-3G driver onto your system, you have to go through
these two steps (in order):

1. Download and install MacFUSE ( macfuse - Google Code )
This package is needed to support the user space file system
facility that NTFS-3G uses.
2. Install the package "NTFS-3G" included in this disk image.
This is the main distribution.

If both packages installed correctly, you should now have NTFS-3G
installed. A reboot is often needed for the package to work correctly.
Software Links:

MacFUSE: macfuse - Google Code
NTFS-3G: NTFS-3G: Stable Read/Write NTFS Driver

** I was unsure exactly where to post this, feel free to update it as required.
