Sophia,
is your mother paying for the subscription on a credit card? If so, you might go through them and dispute future charges if the MSN people give you guff.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

I am paying for it on my credit card! But that is an idea. This was to tide her over until she could get roadrunner, which she now has.

document your attempts to cancel the service and then dispute the next charge.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Is there a Twitter app (desktop and iPhone) that can remember where you stopped reading and sync between both platforms?
I like Tweetie but it only remembers the last thing I read on the desktop, and not on the phone. I want to be able to switch back and forth. (The other factor that complicates things is at work where I can't install anything so I just use Twitter.com...any way I can sync between the site and a desktop/mobile app?)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Echofon and Tweetdeck both advertise syncing between phone and client (disclaimer: I like one on the phone and one on the computer, so I've never actually used the sync feature), but I doubt you could incorporate things you've read on the twitter website in any client.

Excel is fucking with me again.
One of my spreadsheets mysteriously turned itself read-only last week. No biggie, we saved-as to make a writable copy and kept going.
Now I'm trying to delete this file and it won't even let me do that!
I'm running a locked-down XP and Office 2007. Any ideas?

Our wings are not tired.
Are you sure you don't have a ghost file open? Did you go to task manager and look at "processes" instead of just "applications"?

Aha!
I don't have any Excel processes running at the moment, but since the file is on a shared drive, *somebody* must. I will find out who it is and make them shut it down.
