Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

move out and draw fire

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?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

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?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

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?
