Is there any facility to print out a track listing from iTunes, or an add-in application that will do so?

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

Yes.

There are Apple Scripts that can do that. Somewhere out in the internet there's a site that has a whole bunch of scripts and what-not - I'll see if I can find it. Otherwise, I have a script that can export a playlist to an HTML table - I could sent that to you....

eta: Doughs Applscripts for iTunes.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Looks like Bittorrent itself is under a massive take-down effort that the MPAA/RIAA has been threatening.

Whisch is interesting as to what they had against tvtorrents.com, which didn't have movies or music.

which didn't have movies or music.

I don't think they make that distinction, Daniel, and it's just as illegal to distribute tv shows as it is movies.

A friend of mine needs a new computer; I'm trying to persuade her to buy an iBook. She likes the idea, but she has a fairly complex Word document (lots of fields for text to be entered) and it won't convert and open properly in the version of AppleWorks (6.2.6) that I have, and she doesn't want to spend the bucks to buy Word on top of a new computer.

So I'm looking for older versions oe used copies of Word to buy. Anyone know of any sources? What was the first version of Word written for OS X?

eta: Apparantly naughty people are selling already-registered copies for cheap. This seems like it could be... problematic.

Hey. New board.

Try OpenOffice.org? I hear it has pretty durned good support for fairly complex word stuff... and is free. Kind of slow, but free.

Yeah, that's worth a shot.

Any heard of LuxuriousityOffice?

LuxuriousityOffice is a Microsoft Office compatible office suite software package for APPLE MAC OS X that includes word, excel, powerpoint, and frontpage compatible programs that open, edit, and save Microsoft Office and HTML documents.

Hey. New board.

That is almost certainly rebranded OpenOffice, Tommy. Or even the somewhat older StarOffice. The "Developed by Sun Microsystems" give it away.

(OpenOffice : StarOffice :: Mozilla : Netscape)

ETA: The fact that those screenshots are in fact not even OS X windows (they're X11 windows) makes me even more certain of that, as OpenOffice currently has to run under X11 on OS X, just like that Luxblahblah thing.

Also, see if she knows any students...a lot of times they can get the student edition of Office for very cheap (that's how I got mine...a friend who has friends at a certain college can get copies for $10...sadly, way too tenuous a connection to help you out personally)
