But the 12" ROCKS!
Sigh. When and if I am able to get a different Powerbook from Fredlet, I suppose I'll have to grin and bear the 15".
I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

So is Mac OS X for x86 going to be able to run on non-Apples? I assume that's not going to be the case since then you could pick up a powerful $700 PC notebook and spend an extra $150 bucks on OS X and undercut the lowest priced Mac notebooks.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Word is, it'll only be sold on/for Apple hardware. Although given how instantly the dev version of OSX86 became widely torrentable, I don't imagine that's really gonna work for them.

Hey. New board.
Well, there are some possible things they could do to make it much more difficult to put on non-Apple hardware than the development release. The most common idea being that Apple x86 hardware, unlike the test hardware they sent out with the dev version, will be using a variant of the OpenFirmware used on Macs, rather than standard PC BIOS. Not an easy thing to get on hardware that doesn't come with it (or maybe impossible?).
Of course, the big thing is: they won't let anybody presell it, and they won't support OS X on hardware other than their own, and of course Dell/Compaq/whatever won't support OS X on their hardware either. So, sure, you might could undercut Apple if you felt like having no support whatsoever. Meaning a few thousand geeks will do it, Apple will get their $150 (or won't if it's torrented, but they won't care), and it will never matter at all in the big picture.

OK, I'll try over here:
Anyone around who knows PHP? Namely, how to grab form field values sent over POST when register_globals is disabled?
ETA: Never mind. Figured it out.

Is there an easy way to send a bunch of people in an Access database an email? Currently I am exporting the table to Excel, cutting and pasting just the emails into word, coverting it from table to text, deleting the extra spaces for people who don't have emails, and then doing a search and replace to replace the paragraph marks with semicolons. Then I paste the whole thing into my bcc field in access.
It seems there must be an easier way....

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Depends on what you call easy. You can write a script of some sort that creates the email, then populates the sendto: paramter with the e-mail address. I do it on our corporate website using a VBScript routine in an .asp page. That may be a little more than you need if you're only going to do it once.
There a FAQ here [link] that may be of help.

I think I just want filemaker with the little "email" option in the scriptmaker :(

That would be too easy.
C'mon, it'll be good for you in the long run... :)

Ok-- well I will muddle through, but I really do not know Visual basic at all... So I followed the steps on the website for sending a message from Access 2003 with Outlook 2003. And it worked! Sort of
What it is doing is looking for an address in my outlook box, but I would like it to take the emails from a query I have set up in Access, from the field "Email"
Current the part reads
Add the To recipient(s) to the message. Substitute
' your names here.
Set objOutlookRecip = .Recipients.Add("Nancy Davolio")
objOutlookRecip.Type = olTo
' Add the CC recipient(s) to the message.
Set objOutlookRecip = .Recipients.Add("Andrew Fuller")
objOutlookRecip.Type = olCC
Do I just add the field in there or am I way out of my league....
