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!
	 
	
		
Is there a (possible for the home amateur) way to record the sound from a DVD without the track that would go to the center-channel speaker?  I need a soundtrack of WWII background, and I wanted to use the opening 20ish minutes of Saving Private Ryan, but I don't want it to be immediately identifiable, or to pull attention, so I'd like to remove the dialogue, etc.  I can get this while listening by disconnecting my center speaker, but I'm wondering if there's a way to somehow filter out that track while recording.
Help?
	
 
		
		
There are rumors that Apple is going to release a Monitorless, sub-$500 Mac.
OK, there have been rumors to that effect for years, but they're suddenly more concrete.
	
 
		
		
I have a really dumb question: I have an iChat account. Can I use iChat to talk to someone on AIM? If so, is there something in the iChat menu that can help me do this?
	
 
		
		
Any Filemaker Pro users about?
I have a calculated field which produces a number.  I have the layout formatted so that the field is showing as a dollar amount with a dollar sign and 2 zeros.  I now need to use this figure in another field (which I will send as an email.  Within the field, I cannot get the formatting to have a dollar sign or zeros.  If the amount ends in 50 cents, it shows as .5, not .50.  Does anyone have any ideas? 
	
 
		
		
Nevermind-- I think I figured it out.

 Can I use iChat to talk to someone on AIM?
Yes.  At least, that's how DH and I chat during the day.  (Him on iChat, me on AIM Express.)  I think all you need to do is get an AIM screenname to log on with.

Thanks, and cool! Do I go to AOL to get a screenname?
