A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I will give that a try, Gris, just as soon as the artwork searching gets finished (I have nearly 30,000 songs and over 3000 albums, so it's been going for several hours now).

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 found I can select individual albums and then have iTunes find artwork (seems to be successfull half the time) but I've yet to figure out how to get it to search my entire collection and grab all the artwork at once....

ta: OK, now iTunes has decided to find a bunch of artwork. Why, I don't know....

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Does anyone know of a reasonably priced web designer that could put together a site for my author mom similar to Deb Grabien's in execution, if not design? I don't have the time or the expertise to do it, and I'm looking for someone who does.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

SA, I think I could do that. It doesn't look too complex.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I'm having trouble with Firefox since I downloaded the most recent version. First of all I lost all my bookmarks. I followed the helpful guidelines to reload them from the backup...but then they disappeared the next time I opened it.

You might try checking which profile is being used.

Close Firefox, then click Start-->Run and enter firefox.exe -profilemanager

It could be that the profile that is launched by default is in a different folder than the one you've been restoring the booksmarks file to.

ION, the update to ver. 1.5.0.7 was just released today.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

So, I've decided to attempt another escape from the evil empire (tm) and so far it's going pretty good. So far Ubuntu 6.06 hasn't given me the problems that I experienced with 5.10. I am preferring Gnome over KDE though in the past with other linux distros it's been the other way around. I've managed to get Ktorrent working without a problem. Likewise with VLC and Opera. I've got Wine installed but haven't had much luck with it so far--it installed a couple of games fine but then wouldn't load the damn things. I signed up with Cedega for 3 months but have only had limited success with that so far--only tried some smaller games, and since it's designed for top-end games we'll see how it goes.
