Is this a recent update?
I can't remember when it happened, perhaps as late as the Mini, but I think earlier.
Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OMG, there actually is a smartplaylists.com
I remember there being a debate about whether or not iPods have live updating- I believe the conclusion of that discussion was that they do, but it is sometimes constricted when playlists use each other (which is all of my playlists...)
eta: This is cool - I've wanted this for a while now: [link]
This script will collect the "one-hit wonders" in your iTunes or iPod library—every track whose artist is represented by just a single track—and copy them to their own playlist on the respective Source.
Applescript, so won't work for you PC folks....

Anybody out there in Macland using OpenOffice? I'm having severe problems getting it to run -- the "Open OpenOffice.org" starter doesn't work, and when I follow the instructions to open a terminal window (or an X.11 window), it tells me that it doesn't recognize "setenv", and then I'm pretty much Alice in Unixland, lost without a paddle.

Trust my rage
thanks, tommy, that was cool. I've always wondered what was the big deal with that script thing.

Theodosia, I have OO on both my Macs without any problems. What version of OS X are you using? What version of X11? Are you using Apple's version of X11, or Xfree86?
I'm using the latest versions of everything, and Apple's version of X11.
Do you have the instructions on how to launch OO when the Open OpenOffice.org program doesn't work? Can you post them here? Else I'll try to find the instructions later....

All is well that ends in pizza.
Wasn't someone just asking about network storage?
Argosy network hard drive enclosure for $84** - 7:27 am
The Argosy HD-363N 3.5-inch IDE to RJ45 Networkable Hard Drive Enclosure costs $84 plus $1 shipping at PC Micro Store. It's the lowest price we've seen. This Simple NAS (network attached storage) enclosure allows a hard drive to be directly connected to an Ethernet network. A CAT5 cable is included.

Maybe a Buffista can loan you a copy of OSX 10.3...
If only.
Whereabouts do you call home? Maybe someone lives near you...
Hey, are you on the buffista map?

Tom, I'm on the wrong computer, but I'll post it tomorrow. I'm on 10.3, which I think is the latest, and I downloaded Apple's own X11, so that should be set up as they said.
If I wasn't so dead set on not paying Microsoft, I'd give up and bow to the inevitable. Appleworks just isn't cutting the mustard for me in some respects. SIGH

What version of 10.3? (10.3 should be good enough, but I just wanted to compare to my systems. One is 10.3.7, and the other was 10.3.5 (but I've just updated that to 10.3.7 too).
Sadly, OOo has abandoned their efforts to develop a native Aqua version, so it looks like X11 is gonna be the only way for a while....

Hey. New board.
Theo: if all the office stuff you need is a word processor and/or presentation thing, you might try the new iWork that was just released last week as the beginning of an (apparently much nice) Appleworks replacement. It's only $79 for both Keynote and Pages, the new word processor - I haven't tried it, but intend to soon, and Keynote is very nice.
Or, you could try NeoOffice, which is a partly aquacized port of Openoffice.org. Not as nice looking as a real Mac app still, but much better looking than OO.org under X11 (again - so I hear.)
