Crap. The reinstall may have stalled out with "six minutes remaining." This could be bad. The drive may be frelled.
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

It's beach balling me. Still "six minutes remaining."

I think I might have a few spare 2.5" IDE drives in the shop. What size is the drive Sean?

It's a 160 GB drive, I think.

Yeah, I'm pretty certain I've got a drive of that size in the shop. Mark should know where they are. There might even be a 250 GB in there somewhere.

I think I just crushed the spirit of a co-worker who came to show me his new iPhone. He had no idea there was a new one (probably) coming out in a month...

Compassionately intolerant
Speaking of iphones, I feel guilty for even asking this, but I've recently acquired some audiobooks in a format readable by itunes. (mpeg-4)
However, once I put the chapters in a playlist on itunes, I can't seem to transfer them to my inactive iphone.
It isn't imperative, of course, but it sure would be nice. What am I not understanding about the technology and is there a way around it?

I don't know about audiobooks, but I noticed that I used to be able to make a playlist of podcast episodes so that they would run continuously through to the next one on my iPod as well as my computer, but now I can't seem to do that anymore. Either it won't put the playlist on my iPod at all, or, if I add it to an existing playlist with songs, only the songs will show up on my iPod.
So annoying because now when a podcast ends on my iPod, it puts the menu all the way back to the first "music" level.
