What software do people here use to manage their images? I feel weird asking this, since content management is (used to be) my gig, but I have no idea how to work at a one PC level.
Picasa? What else is out there?
That's not what making out sounds like -- unless I'm doing it wrong?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I use iPhoto for my cataloging. I'm thinking about trying Aperture but haven't had a chance to buy it yet.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Last week, I dropped my Treo taking it out of my purse, and ever since, it's had problems charging. It doesn't seem to matter if it's sitting in the cradle or plugged directly into the wall, but the battery's been running down WAY faster than usual, and about half the time, it just refuses to charge. (The light will be on and it will say "charging" but the battery indicator won't move.)
Has anyone else had and solved this problem? I can buy a new battery, but I don't know if it would help. I bought the phone on eBay, so there is no warranty.

I tried Picasa, and it choked cataloging.
Most of my pics aren't on my Mac box, so I've never even thought of iPhoto. If I get off my ass and get external storage, though, it might be an idea.

It does okay for me. I only use it for my own photographs, not for stuff I've downloaded, but there are a few thousand photos in it now and it seems to be handling them okay.

I zipped up a bunch of my more boring downloaded photos, and am giving Picasa another try. I'll be interested to see how it can bring value to my website photos.

Well, I took my phone to the Verizon store, and tech support told me I had irreparable moisture damage. (And the symptoms he described matched what I'd been seeing, so feh. My fault for buying a used phone on eBay in the first place.)
On the plus side, I was able to get $300 off a new Treo 700p, which is very shiny and actually works and stuff. Yay new phone!

iTunes question:
I've downloaded a few TV episodes, which I watch on my computer (having no iPod). They tend to be pretty visually skippy, and the video siezes up occasionally, even if the audio keeps going.
Is there anything I can do to improve playback? I've dug around in the menus and haven't found anything to help yet. Any advice?

Have you tried playing them back using the VLC media player? Or are these DRMed such that you can only play them through iTunes?

Actually, I haven't tried to play them on any other media player. What's VLC? I'm running XP (Pro), not any MacOS.
