The printer was invented to be able to have a hard copy of something that was found online. They are now used for printing papers along with pictures, even coupons.

Automator is an application developed by Apple for Mac OS X that implements point-and-click (or drag-and-drop) creation of workflows for automating repetitive tasks. Automator enables the repetition of tasks across a wide variety of programs, including the Finder, the Safari web browser, iCal, Address Book and others. It can also work with third-party applications such as Microsoft Office or Adobe Photoshop. Although Automator uses AppleScript and/or Cocoa, it requires no expertise in these languages whatsoever. However, the concept would be familiar to those used to Unix pipes: the output of the last action becomes the input of the next (though the user can optionally choose for an action to ignore the input from the previous action). Unlike Unix pipes, however, Automator workflows are sequential: each action is completed before the next action in the workflow begins. Automator comes with a library of many Actions (file renaming, finding linked images, creating a new mail message, etc.), all of which act as individual steps in a Workflow document. A Workflow document then can be used to carry out repetitive tasks. A user can also save these Workflows so that it can be used over and over again, whenever it is needed. Unix command line scripts and AppleScripts can also be invoked as Actions. The actions are linked together in a Workflow. The Workflow can be saved as an application, Workflow file or a contextual menu item. There is an 'Options' disclosure icon at the bottom of each action that shows a checkbox, allowing the action to be shown when run. This means that a task that may require slight tweaks every time it is run can present the same dialog to the user when the workflow runs as the options available in the action - in other words, setting parameters at runtime.

Select the file you want to change permissions for in the directory listing. Click on the Info icon in the toolbar, or select Get Info from the File menu. Change the permissions in the Info window. You can automatically set permissions when you upload a file. In the Preferences window select Server Options and tick the Set permissions of uploaded files box.

Apple have been making Macs since 1984 and there have been numerous versions. There are numerous providers of 3G Internet connections. The possible permutations are too numerous to individually explain. In general the provider may supply a USB dongle (configured in the Network section of System Preferences) that plugs into a Mac's USB socket to connect to a 3G Network, or the Mac may connect to a 3G phone via Bluetooth (configured in the Bluetooth section of System Preferences). Not all providers/accounts will allow such connections to their 3G network.

I think the latest virus to hit Mac OSX was MACDefender, which was a program posing as an anti-virus for your Mac. Apple has since sent out a security patch and it is no longer a threat.
