Trust my rage

I think I will just have to test it with Joe's email and see what happens.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Steph, I got an "Black Friday" preview email from Apple today, and it looks like the iTouch is gonna be regular price -- the bene is free shipping. So I'd buy at your store.

MacMall has the 32G iTouch for $278, though I'm not sure if they offer free shipping. And they may drop it more on Friday, though I don't expect it.

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

Oh, that reminds me - I haven't signed up for today's Crave giveaway.

Sorry I disappeared, guys. Work called and wouldn't shut it. I hope everyone who wanted one got the program to work.

Minor windows annoyance. Automatic update still downloads but always makes me install manually. I have clicked the "set a time" to install in explorer, but it still fails to install when I leave the machine on overnight. My OS is XP home, patched through latest update.

Does your machine sleep overnight? I think it needs to be awake for the update to work....

The screen goes off, but I note that other processes (like virus scans work.) OK the hard disk all sleeps. Maybe that is the problem. I've now set my hard disk to never sleep when plugged into power. I'll see if that solves it.
