All is well that ends in pizza.

Redownload the latest Adobe Reader and make sure it installs the latest plugins, maybe.

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

I did recently download the latest reader. I thought it started some time after that, but maybe not. Thanks, Daniel. I'll try that.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

So...due to some random circumstances, I have been checking my hotmail account recently. What a piece of shit hotmail is.

A couple of questions:

1) if you identify a sender as "not junk" why doesn't it remember it?

2) why is hotmail so bad?

As far as I can tell, Hotmail is not actually meant to be used.

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

I just learnt that there are very few Hotmail programmers. That might explain some stuff.

OK, someone help me out: You recommended here as a good place to buy memory. But I look there, and am v. confused. Which one do I buy? (Beyond the "do I get the 256 or 512?" choice). I have a 1Ghz 12" powerbook. And that's all I know, off the top of my head. Then I get confused.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

If my goal for my home computer is being able to sit on the sofa and be on line, and I am a Mac only girl, will this be sufficient:

Would it be less sufficient if I wanted to install airport so I could use the campus wireless network?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

If my goal for my home computer is being able to sit on the sofa and be on line, and I am a Mac only girl, will this be sufficient:

Absolutely.

Would it be less sufficient if I wanted to install airport so I could use the campus wireless network?

It looks like that laptop uses an older Airport card, which might not be compatible with the current wireless technology.

(Or, other tech people -- am I wrong? If a wireless network is 802.11g, can an 802.11b card connect to it?)

Thanks Steph! Taking my ruby iMac on the sofa is proving problematic!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

If a wireless network is 802.11g, can an 802.11b card connect to it?

E's 802.11g computer connects to our 802.11b network just fine, but I've never tested it the other way around. I think 802.11g is supposed to be backwards-compatible both ways, though.
