So...you want some one else to do all the work for you... laughhard.gif

I'll meet you half way. Here are some "add-ons" that I've installed in Lion:
    MaxMenus
    PathFinder
    1Password (which you already have)
    URLM Pro
    Typinator (there are similar ones out there)
    Default FolderX
    Growl

MaxMenus: took some digging to find a site that told me what it was and how to set it up and such. They really need to work on their web site. wink.gif I'm going to give it a try.

I use both 1Password and Typinator, and find them invaluable.

I installed URLM Pro a few days ago. So far I haven't found it all that useful, but then I seldom switch browsers.

I'll go look up these other "toys".

I seldom switch browsers, either. But I don't necessarily like the way any of them maintain bookmarks. URLMP lets me put them in anywhere/anyway, as many places as I want. I like freedom! "Just store my data, I'l decide how I want it displayed. Thank you very much." smile.gif

Now, I need to search for a way to tell Lion to stop telling me certain ways to spell some words: laughhard, wallbash, rolleyes, etc. those are all smilies and I don't want them separated into the two words nor do I want to click the little "X" to make that known. These are computers, it should be learning from how I use it. SpamSieve does! doh.gif

Just realized I hadn't installed PSE 9 yet! Re-downloading it from Adobe as I type.
