I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I can see it.

Compassionately intolerant

I can see it too.

Random Tiger question. So...the upgrade has gone well. Everything is playing nicely together. But I'm having trouble figuring out how to change a few features. One...the system makes me log in at startup with my admin password. Two...Entourage waits for me to click send/receive, whereas Mail used to just go get the mail for me. Three...the most troublesome...I keep getting a message asking if I want to stay connected to the internet. If I wanted to disconnect, I would!

I've checked system preferences and individual program preferences, including help searches on the topic and can't for the life of me find where to turn off/change these settings.

What should I do!?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I can see it, Ginger.

Thanks, everyone. The client couldn't see the site, and I was trying to make sure the problem was indeed at their end.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Beej, have you updated the default install?

Also, have you created a user account other than admin?

OK, so I have a DVD-burning TiVo. Burned a DVD of ANTM to watch on the plane, but DVDplayer that came with my Powerbook kept freezing. I remember this happening LAST time I tried to play a DVD with it too.

Oddly, playing the DVD using VLC worked fine, though something popped up about an error, when I hit OK, it went ahead and played.

Odds that (a) my TiVo is messed up, (b) the blank DVDs I bought are messed up or (c) my computer is messed up (I swear, I thought having 1.25 gigs of RAM would've fixed this!)

Beej, I don't know if this still works, but for Entourage

Tools>Schedules>Edit Send & Receive All. You can then change it to check as often as you'd like.

Let me wipe away your tears with the 20 GBs I don't have.

This is a 50 GB increase for me. Looks like I'm squeezing about 2/3's of my music onto it along with a few videos.
