Hey Quirk!

Good work.

Tho I liked the part you had before in the 5% question that talked about OSX being the most widely distributed and popular brand of UNIX. Cuz it is.

That's a good litte tidbit    

You should add it nex to the stuff I contributed.

Just a thought.

Nice FAQ board Quirk! Good work indeed but I would love to see it expanding and covering more technical aspects of Mac's classic OS and OS X   ;)  But then again it's only the beginning right ?

Good work again. Keep it up

Also, another question is "will my current mouse work" the answer is "yes, if it's USB, and yes, the right button and scroll wheel work too  ;) "

Yes, of course! I need someone to be with Muffin, anyway. Email me (the email is in the FAQ and the contact page on my website).

Yes, it's the beggining. But because I don't own a Mac (someday soon!), I don't know what to write! That's why I need people like you and Psyjax adding F.A.Q's! And MacUser3of5, I just added that. Thanks.

It would be cool if we could make sub-categories ex:
- = Main category
-- = Sub Category
--- = Faq Topic

-Linux
--Installing
---How to install
---How to partition
--Advanced
---How to Burn a CD
---How to do networking
-Mac
--Using
---How to boot when you get the question mark thing
--Advanced
---Booting into single-user mode
---Using XWindows in Darwin

See what I mean? Is this possible?
The Linux guys kinda did this with the topic prefixes, but doing it in the category system would be even better.

Ack.. I really need to finish my own F.A.Q thing.. Or find a decent one. Just use prefixes for now. By the way, muffin, I was reading the F.A.Q, and the stuff I copy-and-pasted from this forum are full of typos.. Help me fix them, all right?

I've been skimming the Mac forum for typos, but I'll do the rest. I added 3 topics while I was at it...

It's finally going somewhere!
