Yay! I'm glad it all arrived safely. It would have been a bit of a let down if your Xmas present had been 2 months late AND arrived damaged...
(And I wear my IC shirt to the gym all the time. So far, no comments.)
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Anyone recommend a good file-comparison program for Windows? Just something that can compare two text files and highlight the differences in an obvious and clear way.
The Mac OS X Developer Tools has an excellent program callled FileMerge. I like it so much I bring my iBook to work sometimes so I can use it there.
eta: Word can do this, but I don't like the way it illustrates the differences.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
tommy, I use UltraEdit as a file editor, and it has an UltraCompareLite component to compare two open documents. I've never used the full product.

I use Araxis Merge and find it pretty comparable to FileMerge.

All is well that ends in pizza.

tommy, Word does that for word docs...which should work on text files.

Yeah, I've used Word to compare text files; I just don't like the way the comparison is presented. (I prefer the two files to be side-by-side, like the Mac FileMerge does. With Word, I have a hard time keeping straight which file the underlined stuff belongs to, and which file the crossed-out stuff belongs to.)

My iBook is ordered! 14", combo drive, standard factory specs (1.33 GHz processor, 60 GB hard drive, 256 crummy MB of RAM, etc.).

I'm hoping it'll be delivered by Friday.
