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!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I think you can run a more recent version of Safari in 10.2.8, though.

I just checked the Safari web page, and Safari 1.2 needs OSX 10.3
I don't know if there's an in-between version I can run. I'll poke around on the Apple site.

If I only had a brain...
Apple's iPod support page is supremely unhelpful. (Duh.)
Is there any way to transfer a music license from a dead iPod to a new iPod, or do we have to buy his music collection all over again? Because ouch.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Safari doesn't have anywhere near the customized control over tabbed-browsing behavior that Firefox does, and I've gotten so used to it that it drives me batty when it's not there (moreso than having to use the mouse to post).

It turns out I can run Opera 8.5

I forget, Jessica, why had you switched from Opera to Firefox? Cause I think you had gotten me hooked on Opera, but then I seem to remember something turning you off about it.

Originally, I switched because Firefox was faster (I think because it uses extensions, rather than having all the customizations built in automatically), and because not having banner ads gave me more real estate in the actual pages.
Opera has since done away with the ads, and I haven't installed it on this machine, so I have no idea what the speed difference is. I suspect that I'm so used to Firefox at this point (and I have all my extensions set just the way I like them) that it would take something fairly drastic to make me want to switch again.

I hope you can transfer the licenses, Betsy, because I feel your pain ( t /bigdog ). When my Windows machine crapped out (not the most recent time, but the first time, about a month or so ago) I lost probably about $200 or so worth of downloaded music that I cannot replace right now. No backup CDs, no more downloaded (legitimately) tunes.

(Yeah, I'm playing around with Opera now, and it's driving me crazy. All the toolbars are in the wrong place, and every time I try to move a button to where I want it, it just goes back to where it was.)
