A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I'm currently testing a theory that me needing 4084GB is a lie -- that I really only need to get the HD over half empty and it'll work. This might take awhile... I'll report back later.

Doing the aliasing thing came about through experimentation when I tried to figure out how to set (withing iTunes) a different location to look and went crosseyed. So much easier to use an alias.

It should be easy. Preferences -> Advanced -> General, iTunes Music Folder Location

I can't find how to do it with Quicktime Player, though, which seems to be what Front Row uses to play video.

Theory confirmed! FireVault is now turned off. Yay!

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Cool, Jon. I searched on Google for a while and couldn't find a fix -- it looks like it's something Apple need to fix.

(this is where I admit that my patience in dealing with my own home computer is about the width of a hair and I tend to overcomplicate things.)

Bon Bon, since other files and C&P work, it seems like a setting to that specific file. Email it to me (deleting any confidential information first ,since you are sending unencrypted) and I'll take a look. I promise nothing, but I've had good luck diagnosing fiddly little things like that quickly.

My profile addy is good.

My Vista install CD has arrived!

Watch it now sit on my shelf collecting dust. But I have it, should ever decide it's time to make the switch.

This exchange is what made me think I could ignore the 4 Terabytes message and just try to clear out half the drive.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Hacking MacTV

Apparently hacking a MacTV and making it a $300 Mac has already happened.
