I'm telling myself that I'm going to be good and wait until I can get the educational discount. I'm also telling myself, "yeah, right, like that's gonna last".

Buffistechnology 2: You Made Her So She Growls?
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'd think that an Apple store, of all places, would be used to slavish, fervent adoration and obsession.
Yeah, I'd think so too. Maybe it's because this store tends to have older small business owners and the like for customers. Despite its proximity to Northwestern, I don't see a lot of younger trendy types there.
Do we have a pool on who will be the first to acquire? I think I vote Scola.
Probably. But only because I'm sure I'll be too lazy to drag my ass to Michigan Ave. Saturday morning before they sell out....
I'm really trying to tell myself that I don't need one. I also did just buy a car, so hopefully I can stave off iPod lust.
My mother's laptop, which is pretty close to being her link to sanity as she sits in a hotel room in Baton Rouge, has started spontaneously shutting off. Anyone have a guess what might be happening? My first thought is overheating -- could that happen if she's just sitting at a desk, using it?
My first thought is a trojan or adware. If she has Adaware and Spybot, make sure she updates them and runs them. If she has not these things, download, update and run.
There are a couple of other good ones, but the cats are begging for food and I can't think.
I have a 1st generation, 5GB iPod. I really can't justify buying something with less capacity. Maybe they'll bump it up to 8GB in due course.
Also, iTunes V5? Uuugggleeee.
Try AVG for a good virus blocker too.
In other Things That Are Small And Therefore Cool news, here is a cell phone the size of a large pen.
I have a question for anybody who makes icons, especially people who use Photoshop Elements or use LJs icon management site. I noticed today that several of the icons I've made and a couple of icons other people have made have become just dark blurs on my work computer.
I know that these icons look fine on my home computer, and I took a quick survey about how they appear to other people. Some people just see the blurs, but to some people they are fine. I also think that some of the same icons that are just blurs now have been okay on my work computer before. I'm not sure about this part, but if it is true, the change has happened since I added the icons to LJ's management site [link]
Does anyone know why this happens, or what (if anything) I can do to make the icons work on all computers?
