A work around could be to enable Zoom - Command (Apple key)+alt+8  
should enable it (or in System Preferences | Universal Access), and  
then Apple+alt+= to zoom in a slight amount -- under options you can  
set the the minimum zoom to a level you like, and take a look at the  
"when zoomed in..." settings at the bottom.
This will make everything a little bigger - without changing the  
relative sizes of everything.

Try enabling "check Spelling as you type"  (in Word it's under Tools  
 > Spelling and Grammar > options...) in OS X text boxes (anywhere)  
right click and choose Spelling > Check Spelling > As you type.  In  
Mail.app it's under the Edit menu.  That way it underlines the word  
in red and you just right or option click to correct/suggest -- and  
don't need a box to annoy you?

Can't go past AppZapper -- "AppZapper - The uninstaller Apple  
forgot." www.appzapper.com

Try System Preferences -- or Spotlight: Time Machine. There are a few  
settings.

Most application have built in Help -- and  you'll be surprised how  
comprehensive it is.  It might be slow - but it is often quicker than  
waiting for an email reply when you're stuck

iPhoto is good for the basics.  If you're trying to "Add the machine  
to a Photo" app - then try something like Flickr Uploadr - and edit  
online (assuming reasonable connection to 'net). There is a good  
iPhoto plugin too for instant uploading.  See a few of mine at http:// 
flickr.com/photos/mangee/tags/welmac

You're welcome to attend one of our meetings -- and especially book  
in 22nd November for our Meet and Greet - and bring some of the  
grandkids to watch a movie while you talk over some Apple/Mac things  
with other members and non members.
