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!

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?

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

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.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

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

Especially if you tweak it from the default install.

Hey. New board.

My favorite mac BT client at the moment is called Transmission. Do a search on versiontracker. It's not as feature-rich as Azureus, but it takes up less memory and is much prettier if you don't need all the bells and whistles.

I'll give that a try. I've got Azureus loaded and working right now, but it does seem rather more complex than I need.
