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

It happened on IE as well.

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

I have a Buslink 5 Ports USB 2.0 PCI Adapter Card that I took out of my old computer before putting it out on the street, but looking at the manual and info online, it doesn't look like it's Mac-compatible. Anyone want it? (It's a little dusty, but otherwise in good working order.)

All is well that ends in pizza.

Jessica,

Despite being worried as being seen as a scavenger, I would be interested in that card. The only USB ports I have right now are 1.0 and that would help me stretch my good PC system a bit longer.

Unless someone else has a more urgent need, of course.

I've been contemplating a Firewire card for my ancient Mac lately, but I'm starting to wonder if it is all worth the investment. Sigh.

Dan, email me your mailing address, and I'll send it out this week. (Bubble-wrapped, it should fit in a flat-rate Priority envelope.)

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

Found the Launchcast requirements. No OS X.

So, I have a OS X question.

Right now, all PDFs are automatically opening in Preview, not in Reader. Is there a way for me to change that? And if so, how?

Also, if you don't have one or haven't seen the mighty mouse, it's AWESOME. I love the two button feel/one button look and the excellent scroll nubbin.

TiVo offering a $150 rebate through November 27th.

The article mentions you can get TiVos for less than $150.

Well, hmph.

Kat, if you select any PDF and go to Get Info, there's an option near the bottom to select the default application, and it should say "Use this application to open all documents like this" or something to that effect.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Find a pdf, Get Info (open apple + I) and it gives you an option to change the default program for this doc or all docs like it.

For a better explanation, someone needs a Mac in front of them. Or I can check tomorow. The short answer is, yes, you can.

eta: Or just wait for Jessica. Which is actually usually a really good idea.

Also, if you don't have one or haven't seen the mighty mouse, it's AWESOME. I love the two button feel/one button look and the excellent scroll nubbin.
I've had a two-button scrolly mouse for ages and I can't imagine computing without it.
