Thanks, Jessica! I was worried I'd somehow broken it or something. I also had nightmares of my poor little Mini filled to the brim with podcasts I'd heard already....
I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

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!

However, playlists are not organized this way on an iPod
Oh. That sucks. That's where all my playlists live.

Art Crawl!!!
Look! I fixed my on/off button!
Thanks for your help. I think I did okay (well, I'm here, right?) -- even though I did have extra screws. . .

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
even though I did have extra screws. . .
Welcome to the world of PC maintenance. As long as the screws aren't loose inside the case, it's not so bad.

It's almost impossible to disassemble and reassemble an electronic device without producing a screw or two. It's how screws reproduce.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I agree. I fixed my niece's digital camera yesterday. Clearly the problem included excess screws, as I had three left over.
Nothing rattles, and it works. No problem.
Otoh? I managed to get a minor burn from my soldering iron...

copied from Natter:
I am giving away my old computer tomorrow and have just taken a turn at cleaning all the personal stuff off. I deleted all the internet stuff and mail profiles and documents. Anyone know specific other things I should do? Is there some way for me to unregister myself?
nevermind - I am just erasing the harddrive.

I'd also repartition the hard drive, too, at least.
Even if you trust the recipient.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I have a widget question.
I like having the weather widget on the desktop instead of the dashboard, but every time I open the dashboard to look at something else, the weather widget reverts to being a dashboard widget and disappears as soon as I go back to the desktop. Is there any way to make it live there permanently?

Hey. New board.
Putting widgets on the desktop is (or, at least, was, when it first came out - I could be outdated now, I'm not sure) a hack, not intended for actual use. So, my guess would be that the answer to your question is "no, not really."
That said, there are almost certainly programs out there that would give you weater information and ARE intended to live on the desktop. Versiontracker might help. Or, you could even install Yahoo! Widgets, formerly known as Konfabulator, which is almost certainly the program that inspired Dashboard in the first place.
