want to get one of those things that are speakers that you plop your iPod into.
I've had the Altec Lansing for years and I love it. Looks like it's about $100 at MacConnection.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

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!

I've had the Logic3 for about a year and I value its portability (it can run on batteries but eats them fast), but it can't really handle much volume. If you try to use it in a large space or push the volume too far, it gets fuzzy. It's great in that it doubles for me as a firewire dock (my ipod only came with USB) and speakers I can move around the house and take outside. Froogle says it's in the $75-80 range.

Hmm. Good to know--I'm mostly wanting one that is for use at home, so looking for good sound over portability (though some vague portability would be useful, more of a "let me drag this into work for the weekend" than "I'm going to the beach, whoot!").

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
want to get one of those things that are speakers that you plop your iPod into.I have the crazy expensive Bose dock and really love it but I could justify that my iPod is my only stereo system.
I also have the JPL dock (a much wee-er round one that I'll froogle in a moment) which works out really nicely too.
I didn't mean to have two so much as I got a little distracted on some Christmas lists and decided having two, in different parts of the house, was nice.
I actually had bought myself an Altec just before that but I didn't like it as much. Worked fine for "listening to an iPod" but it wasn't something I would want to listen to at home when I wanted to hear music more than play with the cute iPod. I returned that one.
Huh. Didn't realize I had that much to say.
Also, ita, the two step (print to file as a postscript - specifying page size and such - and then distill into a pdf) is the best option. If you are still having trouble tomorrow, I can probably help. Wickedly cool software but not the most intuitive once you want to bend it to your will as opposed to going default.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Can anyone explain Unicode to me? I have 2 requirements for the explanation: (1) pretend I'm a complete moron -- as in, I don't really know *what* Unicode IS (I thought it was a font); and (2) how does it apply to typesetting?
I will be eternally grateful. Every website I've pulled up about Unicode -- including Wikipedia -- has just made my head hurt.
