I just got a Mac [apple] book. It's a laptop. I'm just wondering how to get a homepage on it, and also why does the aim CONSTANTLY sign off? How can I make my aim keep me connected?

im not sure about the homepage, but i have a mac desktop and my sister has a laptop. Mac, although there is an aim download for mac computers, does not like software originally intended for a "regular" computer like dell. When i first got my computer, aim did that to me a lot. It would sign me off practically ever 1-5 minutes. ANNOYING ! But after a few months (2-3) it happends less. Now i rarely get signed off. i think it is because the computer is getting used to the software. My sister's laptop did the same thing, but hers has gotten better too. There's nothing to really do but wait it out!
hope i helped

The homepage question is pretty easy to explain. In whatever webbrowser you're using, go to where it says "safari/firefox/internet explorer" and click on that. Then in the drop-down menu, click on the "preferences" tab. Under the icon labeled "main" you can choose if you want a blank homepage or you can give it the address of the one you want.
As of the AIM problem...that's harder. My guess is that it can sometimes get around the firewall on the network you're using, but then gets hit. So, again, go to preferences and click in the firewall icon. You should be able to change the port number and that will allow you to get around the firewall. If you don't know which port to use (there are millions to choose from), as someone who's on the same network which port works for them.
I hope that wasn't too techy-sounding...but I hope it helped, at least with the homepage part!
