Question about routers...

Is it possible to connect a wired router to a wireless router?

Is this just a fucked up idea?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I want a quad-Mac Perfect Machine!

And a second me to go have a life while one of me vegetates in front of it.

help!

My boss has typed an e-mail in Microsoft Entourage, with the HTML turned on. It has different font sizes and bold and such.

She would like me to e-mail this to about 2000 people, whioch I have either in an excel spreadsheet or in Filemaker Pro.

However, when this goes to her computer or my computer, all the formatting is lost, and the email doesn't even appear in our default HTML font, but in, I think the fixed width font (it appear like old-time pine email.

What can I do to send this out correctly? Is there a way to merge excel with entourage?

Just one question. Any chance your boss would consent to using plain text email rather than HTML? Because HTML e-mail is evil, wastes bandwidth. Don't know about your customers, but if I've subscribed to an email list, having it send me HTML email is the quickest way I know to get me to unsubscribe.

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

It's possible, LeN.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I don't know if a Mac can just read the file, but if you download Open Office, I know OO can read the file.

Is it possible to connect a wired router to a wireless router?

Oh goody! - I already have OO on two of my Macs. So I can go home now and read all these Powerpoint presentations later.
