Since y'all are talking about Hulu, I have a question. Does Hulu crash on Macs? Or am I doing something wrong?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Well, Flash in general sucks on the Mac, and Hulu is particularly resource-intensive.
How old is your Mac? Does it have an Intel or PowerPC CPU? How much memory do you have?

It's a new Macbook, Tom.

Burrell,
have you tried the standalone app for Hulu or are you watching it in Safari?

Our wings are not tired.
I love my Roku, too. It took me a year to finally hook it up after I bought it, though.

In Safari, le n. Is that the problem?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Well, I knew that something would go wrong in my transition to the MacBook Pro, and it turned out a few things have.
I had to manually copy over my iTunes library. Then of course I had to authorize this computer to play songs purchased from the iTunes store. But this would be my 6th iTunes computer, so I had to deauthorize one. So I did that, but for some reason I still can't get this one to authorize correctly (it keeps coming up with the wrong email address for my iTunes account - for some of my purchased songs, anyway).
Is there iTunes Store tech support? Should I just call the tech support that you get for new Apple computers?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hee. Wolfram Alpha also helped me find wind speed and direction for my area. So it's funny and helpful.
Okay! So I've got a 11x17 document that I use as my quarterly newsletter. I generate it in Adobe InDesign, using a .pdf of my newsletter template as a graphic guideline, which I then hide. I (up until Tino did me in) then print it with my large format printer on my preprinted newsletter paper, front and back on an 11x17 sheet of paper, fold it, seal it, stamp it, and send it on its way.
However, all this costs me a good bit of money, and what with most people having access to this internet thing and all, I want to start sending out an email version. But still pretty, with the photos and generally looking like the print version. So I export my InDesign document, with the newsletter template graphics back visible, to a .pdf.
Which all works like a charm. Except that probably most people don't actually have a large format printer, and it's unwieldy to read it that way anyway.
So what I want to do is take the 11x17 2 page .pdf and split it into 4 8.5x11 pages. Can I do this? Does anyone know how?
It will be particularly useful to me, because as some of you recall from Natter, Tino broke my large format printer, so it would be great if I could print as well as email the letter page versions. Any help much appreciated.
