Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

ita, on the desktop version of Skype, it's in Options under Privacy. I can't find a place to set it on the website.

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

Thanks, Deena. I went through the adventure of setting it up on my PC (Vista and firewalling Skype makes *no* sense--it wouldn't let me log in until I had unchecked Skype as an exception to the firewalling) and bumped into it much more easily there.

I can't believe that the new, shiny, large hard drive that the Mac repair place put in my laptop has already failed. It's only been a couple months. I wonder what their warranty period is like...and why did it have to go pear-shaped on the 4th?

Can anybody tell my why my Mac isn't connecting with anybody's iDisk? I really need to check for a file on Drew's iDisk, but every time I try to connect, it just gives me "clunk" sound and nothing happens.

Sean, has your system been up and running a loooong time? Maybe a reboot?? It's a long shot.

I have discovered the problem. Nevermind.

Drew didn't actually leave anything on his iDisk.

So Drew was screwing with you, huh?

Uh-oh.
