You usually have to stick a pen or a pin in and move the gears yourself.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

If I wanted to paste in some ASCII art here, what would be the easiest way?
The <pre> tag would work, but the font is too narrow. Maybe a <pre> tag inside a <code> tag?

<pre> and the courier font?

Here's a possibly very dumb computer question (please, bear with the techno-illiterate):
I want to configure my Gmail account to open in Outlook on my laptop. When I'm using the desktop, though, will the mail still be available in Gmail itself? I see there's an option to keep the messages in the Gmail inbox.
But there wouldn't be a way to have it configured for Outlook in both computers, right? Or I am thinking about it wrong? Is that the computer I'm using will place the mail where I tell it to, and it doesn't have as much to do with Gmail itself?

You could have a hundred different computers connect to your gmail account via Outlook to grab the messages in your gmail inbox, so long as you set up Outlook in every one of those computers to leave messages on the server (i.e. Keep messages in the gmail inbox).

Thanks, Jon! I thought, once I'd puzzled it out long enough, that should be the way it worked, but I wanted to check.
Off to configure.

Crap. Apparently to send my Gmail to Outlook, Outlook wants to download my entire account -- inbox and outbox -- and is (after the third send/receive session) only on September 2005.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My sister is in the UK with her US bought iPod and a non-voltage adaptor (not quite sure what that means yet). Can she just plug the iPod into that?
