So, my missweber AT mac DOT com means that "missweber" would work as my AIM screen name?
If I had my iBook with me, I could answer this. But I think it's the full email address, not just the first part.
eta: I was right. My user profile has my AIM screen name....
Hey y'all. I know I've gone through this here before, but now I really need to buy a new computer. I just checked, and my current machine only has 128 MB of RAM, and a 5 GB hard drive. So basically, any cheapo thing for sale today will be hugely better, right? Aside from the part where it's slowly dying on me, the main issue is that my hard drive is full.
Does anyone know what the story is on the new 'copyright protected' cds? I'm seeing that label show up more now, and I got one on a cd for Christmas. I loaded the cd onto my iPod, but when I went to listen to it, the entire thing is completely garbled. I mean, I own the cd, the computer, and the iPod. I'm Miss Legal Music 2004. Will I be able to get it to work?
Ah, that brings up my other thing -- right now I have a laptop, and I love sitting on the sofa with it, but I feel like it would be better for me, school-work-wise, to be forced to sit at my desk. I'm looking at this, anyway.
But I think it's the full email address, not just the first part.
Thanks. I'll give it a try once I'm at home on my own computer.
You've linked another notebook, Jesse.
Yeah, because really what I want is a notebook. Hey, how about this one? It looks to be $650, after rebates. Dude. [link]

Rumor has it that if you hold down the shift key while loading the CD, the copy protection is by-passed.

Rumor has it that if this were true, it's against the law to tell anybody.
Stupid DMCA.
