Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

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

That's strange, it worked fine for me. (Firefox 1.0.3, Win2000)

I look more rad than Lutheranism

It won't run on Mozilla, either (at least, not my version of Mozilla, which, ironically, is an independent build to run on OS 9.x, since that's what my cheap-ass company is still running).

However, it didn't fuck up my Mozilla, for which I'm grateful.

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

Firefox won't start because it say my default profile is in use, despite the fact that the program isn't running.

You might need to reboot to get around this problem.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Yeah, I'm going to try that, but I'm in the middle of something else that I don't want to quit and restart. I'll just use Mozilla for the nonce.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Did you check to see if anything firefoxy was still in the task manager? You could try ending a suspicious process if you spot something.

There's nothing obvious in task manager.

I'm assuming that there's some video capture thing that needs to be bought

The easiest might be finding a friend with a DV video camera that you can borrow. You can dub the commerical to the camera (using a cable that comes with the camera, usually) and then connect the camera to the Mac and upload it to iMovie.

If that doesn't work, there are dedicated video capture devices that use Firewire to connect, but they are usually $200 or more.

I'm updating the graphics on a project I haven't worked on since last year, which would be one hard drive crash ago. I used Frutiger Linotype. I no longer seem to have Frutiger Linotype. Wasn't that part of MS standard load at one time?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Wasn't that part of MS standard load at one time?

It doesn't look that way, Ginger: [link]

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

never mind

Though I will ask a question just to satisfy curiosity.

Jon ... ages ago you asked about changing from NTFS to FAT32 and I was wondering why you need to change file systems. NTFS is the better system and everything should run fine on it.
