See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

You know, it is. I somehow missed the second sentence in the second paragraph of her post.

Have I mentioned the sinus meds?

Sorry about that.

Hey. New board.

For future reference:

If you get addicted to two large monitors and have to drop back to one for financial/other reasons, the easiest way to adjust is to spend a couple of weeks using nothing but a tiny laptop screen.

Then, when you move back to the single large monitor, it feels like infinite screen real estate.

Hey. New board.

Okay, this is fricking cool.

Oh google, how I love thee.

Griswold,

that link doesn't work for me. I see Google, but I can't personalize it.

Huh. Weird. It works perfectly with Safari. Usually, things go the other direction.

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

Works in Opera. That's not so common.

iTunes question -- in Windows when I select some songs in a playlist or library I can drag the MP3s to my desktop or another folder.

In OS X, can I do the same, to effectively (and easily) copy a playlist's worth of MP3s to a CD? Is there a simpler way?

Hey. New board.

Two ways. You can burn mp3 cds directly in iTunes from a playlist (edit your "Burn" preferences to mp3 cd) though that loses directory structure and stuff if you care about that. Or, you can do exactly the same thing: drag songs from iTunes to your desktop, they appear. I think it's a copy, not a move, though it might be worth double-checking.

I think I'll instruct him to do the former, then, since I'm not Mac-savvy enough to talk him through dragging the stuff to the right place.

Thanks!
