It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Judging from the comments here, I'm not the only one who got frelled by the latest OSX update. Unfortunately, my Tiger discs have vanished, and the computer refuses to install an earlier version to boot from the Panther discs I have. And my account rep isn't calling me back.

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

Jess, you can borrow my Tiger disks if you want.

Thank you, Tom. I owe you five million beers for all your help today.

(My supervisor said fuck it, we'll pay for support if we have to, so I'm on hold with tech support right now.)

Tech support says there's nothing they can do if I don't have Tiger installation discs, and I should just bring it into the Apple Store. Which...no. It weighs a fucking TON.

But it did occur to me that I have the installation discs for MY G5 at home, and I could just bring them in. There's no reason that shouldn't work, right?

Yes, those disks will work.

Now I just have to remember where I put them. Fortunately, my apartment is less of a black hole than this office.

Does anyone know where one can acquire an *ahem* client for Mac? There are some shows out there I would like to watch.

Anne, I like Azeurus a lot. It's not the prettiest interface, but it's fast and easy to use.

Ooh! Thanks. I'll see if I can track that down somewhere.
