tommyrot, have you tried exporting the query from Access as xml and then open that xml file in Excel? It seems to work for me, and I made a table with very long strings and line breaks and it came across cleanly.

Hey. New board.

Anybody know blink codes for Powermac G5s? i came home to my baby making the loud-fan noises that means something is wrong. Turned off, turned on... and nothing, mostly. It makes a fanny noise, but I don't get processor sounds, and the power light blinks three short blinks at me, repeatedly. Blink-blink-blink-pause. Blink-blink-blink-pause.

I don't have a non-wireless keyboard at this second, so I haven't been able to test if I can make it boot off of CD, yet.

Recently, the computer managed to kill a GB of RAM, and an attempt to reseat my secondary hard drive broke off the pin-alignment-device, so I'm kind of frustrated with it anyway. I may just wash my hands of it, and survive on my iBook until I can afford a powerbook.

If I decide to do that... anybody want a probably salvageable Dual-1.8 GHz powermac G5? I'll give it to you cheap, with nothing but a request for certain files burned to DVD and sent to me if you manage to get access to the hard drive. It... might even be under Applecare. When i'm feeling less lazy, I'll look up the serial number and check.

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

Blink-blink-blink-pause. Blink-blink-blink-pause.

It's saying "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that."

Hey. New board.

And now I want to watch that movie. Only not really, because I have used my boredom-quotient for the day.

Doesn't look like I got applecare for the computer. That was dumb.

EDIT: Oh good. Thanks, Eddie. That means the computer has killed 1.5 GB of RAM in the past month.

Think maybe I've got a bad power supply or something, that it's burning it out regularly?

Possible. If you have extra memory slots, you might try the others (assuming you're going to throw more cash at it), the theory being one or two of those slots is bad. Replacing the power supply at the same time probably wouldn't hurt either.

tommyrot, did exporting from Access to xml work for you?

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

Well, I told my boss about it (it's his project; he was just having me help on that issue) and he hasn't tried it yet, AFAIK. I'll let you know how it works out.

Supposed video iPod to supposedly be unveiled Oct 12.

Like the 60 Gig model, except slightly thinner and a smaller click wheel, which allows a bigger screen.
