Crazily easy - open a PDF using Preview, and you can copy and paste (and delete) pages in and out to your heart's content, using the page icons on the right hand side. Make sure you save the final document under a new name though

Thanks TA but I think you severely underestimate what you're dealing with here.
I may have run the site for the past 14 years but I am still no further up the evolutionary ladder than a demented bumblebee. Time permitting could you manage a bit of fold tab A and place in slit B? My Mac is about to go through the window trying to accomplish what you see as simple

PS Ahah! Just discovered the 'New from Clipboard command. There could possibly be hope for me yet!
PPS Sadly, no there isn't. Bunch of separate windows opened with the paste.
PPPS - Nope. Total failure. Looking forward to the Fisher Price approach.

I am indebted to JetII - I was just in the middle of trying to write a demo when I saw the link - saves me a job. Really very easy - but in typical mac style, not massively intuitive! When you see it there is a real sense of D'OH! 
Hope you are sorted, Rob!

Faulty MacBook Pro
My 13" MacBook Pro 2010 is causing me some problems the last few days. At random intervals after startup the mouse freezes, the mouse timer comes on after some time some text on the screen turns pixelated and then I get the above screen. It was happening occasionally but now it is happening within two minutes of startup everytime.
Any ideas?

Apple Support has a couple of bland responses, but I have had success a long time ago with a PRAM Reset on an earlier MacBook

Have you tried the Apple Hardware Test ?
See here : Intel-based Macs: Using Apple Hardware Test
Could be a logic board issue.

Found this on another forum:
here is a a breakdown of screen issues.
Vertical Lines - Bad LCD or LED Screen
Dim Screen - Bad Inverter, Backlight, or (unlikely) Motherboard
Garbage On Screen (symbols) - Bad Video Card
Horizontal Lines - Bad LCD or LED Screen or Video Card
White Screen - Video Cable not connected, but inverter cable is still connected
Black Screen (No signal) - Video cable (Motherboard Side) not connected or (unlikely) both video and inverter cable not connected
Partial Black Screen - Bad Screen or Video Card

The death of MobileMe
Gents,
I am certain that many of you would have received the following email from Apple. Does it mean that iCloud will at least have everything that MobileMe use to provide? Does anyone have any more news?
Thanks

Important information for MobileMe members.
Dear MobileMe member,
We'd like to share some exciting news with you about iCloud — Apple’s upcoming cloud service, which stores your content and wirelessly pushes it to your devices. iCloud integrates seamlessly with your apps, so everything happens automatically. Available this fall, iCloud is free for iOS 5 and OS X Lion users.
What does this mean for you as a MobileMe member?
When you sign up for iCloud, you'll be able to keep your MobileMe email address and move your mail, contacts, calendars, and bookmarks to the new service.
Your MobileMe subscription will be automatically extended through June 30, 2012, at no additional charge. After that date, MobileMe will no longer be available.
When iCloud becomes available this fall, we will provide more details and instructions on how to make the move. In the meantime, we encourage you to learn more about iCloud.
Sincerely,
The MobileMe Team

I am so impressed, having had my MobileMe automatically renew 2 days ago, now paid until the 6th June 2012 
And what happens to all the url links for MobileMe?

Wasn't it Mobile Me the software that discovered the stolen Macbook in California recently that was highlighted in the press?

SpringHeeledJack is right. The MobileMe find service only works for iOS devices. When everyone is migrated to iCloud, then I believe Mac OS X Lion will have a similar function for Macs. I doubt it will have the capabilities of Hidden though. The current service simply gives a location and allows you to send message to the iOS device, sound the ringer, lock it or wipe it remotely. I would expect the Mac OS X version to be the same, and not have the picture taking ad activity recording features.
Better than nothing though.

As someone who has experienced similar screen issues (on three machines: old iBook G3, G4 and current Macbook), this is likely to be a main logic board problem IMO, & replacement of the board the solution. Apple may be sympathetic if it's our of warranty/Applecare (make an appointment at an Apple store if you can, be nice to the Genius etc.)
Video boards also fail, although you're more likely to get screen flicker.

This is my second video failure and it is related to the fact that I also use a 32" cinema screen plugged into the aux video port.
Amazing service!! Thanks Apple.
Lion
Anyone downloaded Apple's new operating system? It was released yesterday and seems faultless - so far!! I like the mission control and launchpad features, and yes I believe its a lot faster than previous systems.
Your thoughts please!!
