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.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

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

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.

It doesn't look that way, Ginger.
Thanks, Tom. (And damn and blast. I don't want to have to buy it, but that's easier than remaking everything else.)

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

Macs can't write to NTFS?

No, it was because I had an older verson of Ghost, and it didn't recognize NTFS drives. I eventually realized that it would be a lot easier to spend $30 and upgrade to Ghost 2005.
It proved to be a great move. My old version required me to boot from a floppy in order to make a drive image of my C Drive. The new version can do it from within Windows. Backing up is now a snap.

Cool.
Moonlit's dad is trying to network a '98 computer and an XP computer through a router and not having much luck. The other week I was fooling around and networked an old '98 system with my XP system to see if I could help her dad. I wasn't surprised that XP could read the '98 HDD but I was surprised when I realised '98 could see the NTFS partitions on the XP HDD. (I have a FAT32 partition on that HDD, which is a leftover from when the system was dual boot. '98 couldn't see the NTFS partitions when that was the case.)
