Can you cycle through them like a movie? Is that the idea?
This one. Yes. I can watch my name be spelled out over and over by wee little cuteheads.
...because God knows you need some satisfaction in life besides shagging Captain Cardboard! And I never really liked you anyway. And you have stupid hair!

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!

It's a WBB arms race, with iPods instead of nuclear weapons.
Which is better for me on many levels. Pray continue.

I want to take my "new" (since August, but it's still shiny to me) iBook down to my Mom's but I don't have a dialup account. I seem to remember we had some info here about temporary dialup accounts that I could try out, or purchase for a month or two on a pay-as-you-go basis. Did anyone try one of those, and would you recommend it?

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
I believe MSN still does the first month diap-up free. Remember to call to cancel, tho.

Theo, Earthlink and PeoplePc should also have 1 month free promotions.

All is well that ends in pizza.
AOL usually has a free month to 50 days.
Juno.com has 10 hours free/mo but has an adbar.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I've used MaGlobe for temporary internet access from my parents'. It works OK, except my parents live in a small farming community so the closest access # is a semi-long distance five cents per minute call.

I should've thought of the temporary dialup thing, that would've been smart. Instead, I have my laptop with me, but have to use my parents' scary computer. Ah well.
Rio, that is the CUTEST THING EVER, the pictures spelling your name.

From slashdot:
"IBM has big plans for the 970, Apple's so-called "G5". The CPU will support partitioning, similar to IBM's mainframe systems, allowing multiple operating systems to run at the same time on a single CPU. A Mac built around this chip could theoretically run OS X, GNU/Linux, Mac OS 9, and the PowerPC version of Windows NT, all simultaneously and independently."

I so want one of these.
Damn, and I just bought a Cube and an Apple 17" LCD screen. I think I'm getting sucked into this Mac cult....

I haven't done much troubleshooting, because it's midnight and my brain gave up several hours ago, but I'm trying to copy some files to take with me on my trip tomorrow. I'm copying files and folders out of Windows Explorer to a CD. I've never had any trouble doing this before, and now everytime I try, it says "Windows encountered trouble copying this file." I've tried different files. I've rebooted. Anyone have any theories?
