Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Do you ever do something so incredibly idiotic that you wonder about your actual brain power.

I just realized that my whole problem yesterday with Access not adding was because you have to enter a quantity of 1 if the customer is buying one item (I thought it defaulted to one). Grrr.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I am getting jumpy video playback on my laptop. Can someone point me to where the latest codecs are?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

This may be obvious, but are you running anything else at the same time? Some web pages suck the CPU power of my iBook with their animated .gifs or Flash even when I'm not looking at the page, so I often have to close pages to get video to playback OK on my iBook.

Then again, my iBook is a 900 mhz G3, so it's a little low on power.

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

Stupid question alert

If someone sends me a CD of mp3 files they burned, will I be able to import the songs into my Mac based itunes?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

If someone sends me a CD of mp3 files they burned

Is it an audio CD (i.e. playable on any CD player), or is it a CD full of mp3 files?

In both cases, you'll be able to import them into iTunes, but if it's the former, you'll need to enter the song info by hand.

And maybe even the latter, if the mp3s don't have tag info.

Thanks! I can do that (or not, since I have been known to be lazy and just leave songs as "track one").

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Tivo question:

so I am finally getting a new hard disk from weaknees. Should be here tomorrow. I opted to replace my current hard drive rather than getting a second one.

Has anyone done this? I know it erases everything, so I've been taking down the season passes, copying over some programs I want to keep. I've taken down the wishlists and some program ratings (though clearly I'll be starting all over here).

Anything else I should do?
