Can anyone recommend a good place to get a refurbished PC cheap, other than Dell?
Mmm. Wife soup. I must've done good.

What's the easiest way to change the default browser in Tiger?
[Nevermind -- found it. Why on earth would they put this setting IN Safari?? Counterintuitive much?]

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
In Safari, select Preferences -> General -> Default Web Browser

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I'm trying to save this image [link] to my hard drive. When I try to open it in photoshop, it says that it cannot be opened due to an invalid JPEG marker.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I need a handful of images for a project, and I find this happens half the time when trying to save. Is it a Mac issue?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
That happens fairly often to me using XP, Allyson. I've found it works best to just copy the image and paste it into Photoshop.

Allyson, I just dragged that image to my desktop, did CTRL + click, Open with Photoshop and I had no issues.

Your tag here.
Allyson, you might try this [link] to fix the file. I've never used it, so YMMV.
If not, Google says you're not alone [link] maybe you can find something helpful in there? Most of the fixes I saw involved opening the file in something besides Photoshop and resaving the file.
HTH.

None of those things worked, but thanks for the help!
How infuriating. Bleh.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
I'm thinking about getting a laptop. It would be used for surfing (ergo, wireless capability necessary), watching dvds while traveling, and writing. Not much else, I suspect.
I'd prefer something light, but stable/reliable is more important.
PC-compatible.
Anyone got any suggestions? Matt recommended MPC machines, but they're on the steep side, although he said they're very reliable. Any other thoughts?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Anyone here use Anapod with their iPod? Comments?
