BTW, I love google desktop - it has saved my life a lot of times. It searches in a different way for some things. For other things I need to use regular windows search.

Don't enable the feature to search across computers. But it will search your gmail (and other email) along with all other files on your computer unless you specify a folder to skip.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Anyone have any idea on the cost of changing a battery on an iMac G3?

I really shouldn't attempt it myself.

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 don't, but I bet the folks at AllMac would tell you.

I really shouldn't attempt it myself.

If it's the tray loading model, rather than the slot loading one, it's not that hard to take apart and put back together.

If you want to bring the Mac up to Pasadena I can install a new battery for you.

Okay, hivemind, I need suggestions.

My old Compaq laptop is dying, slowly, painfully, and unpredictably. It always did suck, and it's kind of old, so this is no real shock.

However, I need a new Windows laptop for to replace the beast.

XP is a must, a DVD-ROM drive would be nice, and battery life trumps most other considerations (except cost) as this is my on-the-go machine. I'd like to spend as little as possible and still be able to get a good 4 years out of it, like I have the Compaq. What should I buy???

I've had good luck with Toshiba machines for my rental laptops. I usually buy the models that are right around $600-$800 and they've been working fine for me.

ND beat to me to it. The Toshiba sattelite series has a been a really good choice for a long long time.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

OK, so I have a new desktop (wheee! *pets the computer*) and need a file-sharing program for aheming purposes. I understand the newer version of Azureus doesn't work well, so which program are people using?

I use Bittornado and there is a Windows version if that is what you are using.

I use it on the command line, but I've used the GUI Windows version in the past and it works well. You'll be downloading Linux ISO images I assume.
