Ugh. Yes. My series is dv6448se. I'm assuming that falls under the dv64xx.
Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I really like Notepad++. Anyone know of something similar for the Mac?

what does Notepad do?
What do you want the Mac equivalent to do? There are plenty of Notepad equivalents.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I don't know Notepad++, or know what features are crucial for you -- that said, I'm a big fan of TextWrangler, and TextMate also has a lot of fans.

The features I really like are syntax highlighting and syntax folding for various languages. Also, the ability to do bookmarks, regular expressions, macros, automatic indentation of code and brace highlighting.... stuff like that.

I've never used a folding editor, but it looks intriguing. Wikipedia says that TextMate does folding, and both of them do all the rest of your list. There's also a Mac port of vim, if that's more your flavor.

Since we got all new work computers, we have the latest version of SQL Server Management Studio, which now has folding. I don't know how we survived without it (we tend to have these huge stored procedures from hell).
Hmmm... maybe I'll play with the demo of TextMate and see if it's worth $56 to me.

Notebook++ is awesome. I use it all the time too. Most of what I do is in IDEA (which is the best Java editor ever) or Eclipse, but for just looking at a file Notebook++ is my go-to program.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a good portable hard drive? I want a back up for uploading music.

I have this one.
It is quiet and has worked great for me. Oddly, the price has gone up since I bought it. Maybe I got it on sale.
