Dear Madam/Sir:
I am a computer novice and still trying to figure out my iMac OS X, Version 10.4.7. Whenever I receive e-mail attachments with .wmv or try to download photos with .sit, I only can see letters and symbols. I do have Microsoft Office:mac installed and open e-mail through Entourage. I also have not been able to determine if this iMac has Stuffit which was suggested on some web sites. I also read that some other software which might open .wmv files is not available for iMacs with Intel chips or did I misunderstand this. Also, do you have any suggestions how to best view some on line videos such as the Panda Cam in the National Zoo in Washington? When I tried, I received a message that I would need some microsoft download. Being new to this, I am reluctant to download anything that may not be compatible with this computer. I have managed to make some items disappear already.
Any suggestions you may have will be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Heidi Bibber

Stuffit is not included with OS X anymore. You can download Stuffit Expander Universal Binary Beta from www.macupdate.com. To play .wmv files look for the new Flip4Mac Universal Binary version at the same site.
