A couple of very short form overviews on CyberCollege:

Have you done the tried and true All-Purpose First Response to FCP problems, Trash The Preferences?
To do this easily use FCP Rescue 5.
Did you run Software Update (Pro Apps Update) after the crossgrade install and before launching FCP 5 to bring your FCP up to 5.1.2 plus Motion updates and others? This might also help. -
I see it in the Info window on only some of my download files. Mostly Disk Image (.dmg) files.

Simply just dub the VHS to the UVW. Then capture the beta dub. Generally works just fine unless the VHS is an absolutely awful multi-generation dub (rather than a normally awful VHS).

[Bob Flood] “The sound bits no doubt cam from BetaSP, which i think uses dolby A.”
FYI, BetaSP uses Dolby C.

[zrb123] “Open Office is NOT a open sourse version of Microsoft Office, it is NOT even made by Microsoft.”
The point being made is that OpenOffice.org is an open source app capable of opening and generating MS Office compatible documents. The OS X version runs under X11.
The machines running here have Office and I see no MS processes running unless I launch an Office application.
You must have something starting up at launch or login that shouldn’t be, maybe set as a preference in Office or other MS apps. -
You have to do the “drag” to the sidebar correctly. If you drag your Array icon so as to highlight one of your disk icons, yes, you will drop that alias into that drive, just like dropping a document into a folder. You have to drag the new item so that, instead of highlighting an item in the sidebar, you drag it just beneath it, which will display an underline. Release the mouse button at that point and you will see your Array icon placed where the underline appeared, below the disk or other sidebar icon. Once items are in the sidebar, you can drag them around to reorder them to taste.

There are Daily, Weekly and Monthly “cron” tasks that Unix runs overnight, if the machine is left on. Mostly cleanup of log files and other housekeeping, no harm done by their not being done, unless maybe you’re running an enterprise server or some such “big iron” application. There are many freeware and shareware Mac utilities that allow you to run these tasks manually; MacJanitor, Onyx, Cocktail, Macaroni, to name just a few, and of course they’re always accessible via Terminal. The issue of whether to leave machines on or off is debated incessantly on all computer forums, with neither camp ever making a good case for its side.

Assuming the your systems are in the same physical location, couldn’t iChat and Bonjour be used for internal messaging? This would keep you only on your LAN and off the internet.

If it’s only really 2 months old, is it really a “G5” or is it a MacPro? Sorry to ask the obvious, but many people still refer to the Mac towers of recent vintage as G5’s even if they’re Intel boxes. If it is a MacTel then your CS2 would be running under Rosetta. Some users report slow performance in this cicrumstance, patiently awaiting Adobe’s 2007 release of Intel native CS.
