I can't delete the player. i put the application in the trash bin and when i try to delete it, it says that all these files are locked and therefore it won't delete. Help!!!!

Have you tried Cocktail 3.1? It has an option to force empty the trash. I assume you are an admin on your machine.

[Mr. Blur]

there are lots of ways to get rid of it.....use terminal commands, unlock all the files and then empty trash.....or try a simple utility like Trash It! or Maintain (which also has a lot of other handy features....)

Holding Option while emptying the Trash works too in most cases.

I thought that too, but after some serious cutting back on my expenses, and the iminent sale of my Dell computer, I will soon have enough for a new Powerbook. They sell eMacs for $799. You can afford one.

I can't even afford a $300 Bondi Imac on ebay. Let alone an eMac. Besides, the eMacs suck, I used one at an apple store and they are very uncomfortable. I'm shooting for an iBook G4 12".

Yah... You don't need a third party software program unless you're incapable of holding down the option key...

I like the eMacs. I really do not like LCD displays... Always have to worry about the posability of pixles dieing...

The eMac is the cheepest way to get a G4 with a superdrive... The only real difference I can see from the origional iMac's are that it has a larger, flatter screen, and that it has a G4 processor...

What's uncomfortable? The keyboard? Virtually any USB keyboard will work, so take your pick.

This is very easily done in the terminal. Assuming your aplication is in Applications and is in a folder called Windows Media Player,
all you need to do is type (or copy and paste) rm -rf /Applications/Windows\ Media\ Player. Voila (There are no spaces after the forward slash and one space after each back slash). Here is an excellent link http://osxfaq.com/Tutorials/Learning...Trash/index.ws

No, the unit itself. I didn't like the way the screen/box felt. It felt a bit bulky. Kinda like the fat kid that everyone picks on.
