Here is a list of websites to help resolve Macintosh related problems:
Not too "techy" sites:
http://www.macosxhints.com/
http://www.apple.com/support/
http://macfixit.com
http://forum.onmac.net/ (Windows XP on Intel Macs)
This site is good for purchasing hardware based parts and it has really good "how-to" videos and a troubleshooting section.
http://www.ifixit.com
This is not an endorsement for the above sites, so "user beware"...

Do Classic applications work with Mac OS X 10.5 or Intel-based Macs?
Classic applications do not work on Intel processor-based Macs or with Mac OS X 10.5.
Upgrade your Mac OS 9 applications to Mac OS X versions. Check with an application's manufacturer for more information.

Mac OS X 10.5: Time Machine backups are not visible

Upgrading to a new Mac?
If you are upgrading from one Leopard-based Mac to a new Leopard-based Mac, and you wish to use Time Machine backups from the previous Mac, make sure the computer name of the new Mac (in Sharing preferences) is the same as your previous Mac's computer name was when its Time Machine backups were made. Afterwards, if the previous Mac is still on your network, give it a different computer name.
