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

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

My hardware needs to be disconnected from a power source to have the best chance at a clean restart. I'm not down for that myself.

Panda Titanium Anti-Virus question: Not only a) has it the tendency to hang up Eudora when scanning incoming mail and b) did it lose the username and password for system update after one successful update, but c) I'm really expected to reboot periodically so the updates take? What year is this?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Those are as good as reasons as any for switching to AVG.

Tricksily, the evaluation version only allows one update, which it performs right after install. So I couldn't learn about the reboot until after I shelled out for 6 months. When that expires, it's onto AVG. Curse that coin toss.

For future reference, I quote "I am sorry to inform you, Panda can not work properly with Eudora, and Panda supports only Outlook Express and Outlook."
I take too much for granted.

See, I want an iPod that is also a handy PDA. (But I want it to be as useful/well connected to my mac/able to hold as many songs as my iPod, which I don't think exists in current PDAs-that-can-play-music). I don't want a cellphone with PDA, unless i could like, detach the cell part. I don't even want a cellphone with camera. There are times when I want to carry my cell, but not have it take up SPACE. The PDA cells are way too big to fit in a small pocket when going out at night. OTOH, I take my iPod most-but-not-all places. Which is where I'd take a PDA. Come on, Apple! Work it out for me! Um, in a couple years, when I'm wanting a new iPod anyway.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I want an iPod that is also a handy PDA.
This has been doable, in a limited way, for several years now. As I understand it, the iPod's advantage is in memory size and battery life, but what's available through a PDA isn't too shabby.
My Clié is more than three years old, and being able to play .mp3s was one of its selling points. Each of my 128Mb memory sticks holds two hours of music, and my PDA case holds five of them, plus the one that rides in the Clié itself. Changing sticks every two hours is not really a hardship. I still get six hours of .mp3 time out of a full charge.
I know that memory cards for Palms are up to at least 516Mb now. I don't know what battery life is like on the current model Palms, though.
ita, have you ever done a comparison between your T5 and your iPod?
