I'm thinking about doing an iPod car integration for my GF for her birthday but I have no idea a) what it should reasonably cost b) the best way to do it (she's a tech geek and I wouldn't want to do it too cheaply cause that'd ruin it for her). Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

ita linked to this [link] a couple of months ago, and I think Rio got one and likes it.

Thanks! So, can you install it yourself? Did Rio?

No idea, but here's a testimonial from their website (take it for what it's worth...):

After purchasing a Neo Changer online I called my local Best Buy to ask how much installation would cost. Best Buy explained they install the Neo Changer for roughly half as much as any other changer because it is so easy, after hearing this I decided to install it myself.

Cool. I bought it. I think the GF can install it - it does look pretty easy. She's gonna freak out! I love when you find The Perfect Gift.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I just got a flurry of emails from addresses I've never sent email to telling me my email was refused as spam. I think my email address has been hijacked. I sent in a ticket to my hosting company notifying them of the problem. Has anyone else experienced this? I feel sort of like I've been mugged.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

GC -- my co-worker installed his own. He said it was easy.

Allyson -- that might be that someone (or ones) with your e-mail address in their addressbook has been hit by some sort of virus. Try googling an exact sentence from the e-mail and see if it turns up any informative hits.

Oh, I *love* it! "All my base are belong to you." Bwah!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've had that happen, Allyson, but I decided it was some spammer using my address as their fake return address. I forwarded it to yahoo (it's a yahoo account), and nothing happened.

Thanks, I got a response from my service provider and they basically said, 'no worries, it's a pain in the ass and makes everyone sad."

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Can anyone tell me why I can't view PDFs or more than half of the quicktime movies I run across in either Mozilla Firefox or IE 6 and how to fix it?
