Thanks for the recommendation Jamar7. I have to say, I like the inout interface but my primary concern is security.

When they say 'the same security as banks use' I'm not all that comforted, though I guess anything online is at risk.

Oh and, Xilisoft worked...even added a menu that put each night of Alice on a different track. It took about 4 hours, and since I used the nonregistered version, there is a huge watermark in the middle.

The quality is not quite what I would prefer.

At this point,I'm thinking of just transferring the avi files to a jump drive and leaving it at that, for the moment.

Do indeed use mint, though could probably get more out of it. Am much looking forward to promised adding of easy ability to track cash, they say coming soon (this month or next?). Currently you have to split out from ATM withdrawals which is a bit of a pain, I have a separate cash tracker app on my phone.

@bonny fides yeah I def understand where your coming from in terms of online security. I know one thing that helped me in terms of the security feature was to just try using an account that was not a high risk if something were to happen. I would monitor it from time to time until I got completely comfortable with the level of software security and set up. I believe both Inoutcash.com and Mint both offer the VeriSign and TrustE which are leaders in online security services. If all else fails there is always the faithful ole excel spreadsheet! Good luck!

Hey. New board.

Jessica, the current iPhone version of scrabble will let you hook up to and start scrabble games using a facebook account, so I imagine the ipad version will offer that as well.

This is pretty much the only reason I keep my facebook account these days.

Is there a way to force Adobe Acrobat 6.0 to open documents at 100% zoom instead of "fit to screen"? It's only a couple of clicks, but it's starting to annoy me.

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

A fair number of people, actually. I think it's where I look first.
