ita, what do you mean by "contents?"

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

ita, what do you mean by "contents?"

Regular assets accessible via HTTP--HTML, javascripts, images, CSS, et al. Back in the day I used to use something that traversed the site tree and grabbed everything, but that was a while ago, and I'm sure even if I remembered it, it's dead now. When I google, I get lots of fancy tools that scrape for specific content, but that's not what I need. Just the web site.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

the only thing I can think of is the firefox extension Scrapbook. It will grab a whole lot of stuff.

You can specify how many links deep you want it to grab, but you can't just set it off on a web site I don't think.

Gosh, your last camera broke how? I'd check reviews on cnet and maybe nytimes? That's a pretty basic item these days, but I don't know what kind of sturdiness you're looking for.

That is the digital camera we got for about 100 bucks. My old HP digital started taking red pictures , fixable, but we weren't sure how long it was going to take. My HP was 2-4 yrs old and this little one is Much better. So i am guessing that 100 dollars gets you a pretty good basic digital camera. ( we bought with out investigating, because we were going to fix my old one )

ita, try the command line tool wget. It has a recursive option that should do what you want.

Rob, thanks, that looks like it did the trick. And the files work just fine off my hard drive. I'm not sure what problems the developer was having. Let me hand these to him tomorrow.

When I went to change the batteries, the new batteries did not work. tried with various sets and brands of batteries. An old Olympus we got on sale.

And thanks Beth. Sounds worth considering.

Are there Netbooks for under $300 that have a cd burner in them? Or should I give up hope on that? I'm trying to buy one for my crew, so they can check e-mails, and post to our google site while at work. It'd be great if they could burn a cd or two as needed during tech rehearsals. But I'm wanting cheap more than high function.

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've never seen a netbook with a CD burner - AFAIK they all give up the optical drive so they can be made small.
