All is well that ends in pizza.

VCRs are kind of heavy to ship anywhere vs their worth. If it seems to be working, Goodwill/charity may take it. If you were near Hyattsville, Maryland, I have a friend who can't afford one....

I'd work on a DVD player. Never ripped open a playstation. Hmmm.

Yeah, I'm a electronics geek, too. Sigh.

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

They seem to have a problem figuring out how many years there are in "one score and ten." Maybe if they knew how to do simple arithmetic they wouldn't have had to go out of business in the first place. ;)

So What Software sold its first piece of software on May 15th 1983 and sold its last on November 23, 1990. Over those 7 years it produced 12 titles for the Apple II, II+, GS computer systems.

Soooo.... according to them, "one score" equals.... five? Yikes!

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

So...my G5 here at work seems to have gone insane. I ran Software Update, installed everything, rebooted, and now the screen won't stop flashing. The desktop icons and Finder folder keep flashing on and off, and it's been doing this for at least 3 minutes.

I turned it off, unplugged it, waited 20 seconds, and then turned it back on again, but it's still doing it.

Help?

Hey there's a new version of Word Perfect Office:

I had completely forgotten about that product. I use OpenOffice at home, and MS Office at work, but I guess some people must use Word Perfect Office. I wonder is Word Perfect still has a strong hold on the legal profession like it seemingly used to. Ok, I really don't wonder that much.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

If you hold down the shift key while you boot, you can try to boot in "safe mode".

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

That sucks. I have no idea.

Do Macs have the equivalent of Windows booting into safe mode?
